Rikki, in the end there is another alternative, abandon those styles which don't sound good or are to hard to fix, given we have thousands of other styles to pick from!!!!!

Again I appreciate all your advice. M. Bedesem is still working on Midi Player II to do these conversions. If he can then this would make for fast (batch) conversions of styles to the GM Standard.

All this is just to exciting for an old man. NI's Bandstand has all the right stuff (instruments, effects and adjustments). It is fully featured wavetable. I don't feel bad to do the work of conversion to the GM format. This will also make other wavetables available for auto accompaniment use.

It will be near impossible for me to leave kontakt and the big GBs virtual acoustic instruments. These sound just to good compared to other alternatives---for my lead or melody instruments.
