Should you decide to convert the styles yourself, either "manually", by making a midifile from a g800 style and then using Michael P Bedesem's freeware style maker program for example , or by using an "automatic" conversion program like EMC, I've always found that the real key is in tweaking the style afterwards on your Yamaha arranger to get the best sound possible. Without tweaking, most conversions don't sound particularly good.

When I tweak a converted style, or a style made from a midifile, I pay particular attention to getting the right panel voice for each track, dsp settings including reverb and chorus settings, volume levels of each track, and pan settings.
