Rikki, I think your example is hardware related again[SD1]..Controller 11 [expression] depends on the maximum setting of the expression..By default the SD1 is 127..Likewise the EMC program is not re designing the style, it is adapting it to conform to the new format [including program changes].
The initial settings will be at default..
Most likely the Roland format readily reads the initial setting quicker and reads the expression correctly..It most likely sets the initial settings , and when the Roland style is reformatted to the SD1..The SD1 reads the properly aligned style, including the Controllers..

It almost sounds like I know what I am talking about...but I am close
