That is true of the I 30 and I 3, but it is not true of the PA80. The notes are based on the C major scale, not Cmaj7. When you go to edit an internal style from the PA80, the key / chord icon will ask for notes in C maj, not Cmaj7.

The exception to this is when you load an I series style. The PA80 has an option that allows it to recognize and transpose the I series styles ( it is an option in the style record mode on the PA80 ).

Your post does however make me wonder if I could bring the note data from a Yamaha style into the PA80 without going through the step of converting it into a C maj based midifile in XG. XG works will also open and play .sty files. I can easily save them as type 0 midifiles. If the "I" series option on the PA80 allows me to recognize C maj7th based styles, I could possibly save a step in the conversion process.
