Hi, Karosha,

The program that exists is called KAT200 (the PA-80 version of KIT2000).
http://www.posta.cg.yu/istyle/Kit2000.htm

Although it has its limitations, it is worth the money for the education alone..... you can get a good idea of the issues involved in creating styles from his web site. I recommend the program - it also allows yoo rearrange styles and performances (and that aspect does work)

The features you want are called "Collected Fiiles"; KAT2000 converts the Style into one long type 1 MIDI file, with the style inforamtion in Markers and snd the Event List.

However it is not quite ready for prime time yet for tha application. There are two main issues (I'm working with Milan on them, because I want the same thing as you).

1. The style info is included with the MIDI
events in the first measure of the variation. This means you can't change instruments during looping or cut and paste tracks from variation to variatioin within a program like SONAR, since the info gets pasted with it, and it can't be reconverted by KAT back into a style again.

2. It doesn't preserve instuments in the conversion if theya re not in bank 0, and will assign Ac.Piano if there are no botes, even if the original style specified an instrument.

3. It doesn't trim notes at the measure boundaries, so you have to be vry careful when addding notes. If the extend over measure boundaries, KAT can't transform it.

====================================
I really hope Milan can fix these problems, but the program is worth it just to see how the events and instruments are laid out in the Marker and Event list. I have some templates available for SONAR on the Irish Acts PA80 forum (www.irishacts.com; download section), showing the collected files, a SONAR inst. definition list for the PA80, and the beginning of a StudioWare interface.

Hope this helps,
