Hi Bill,
thanks.
I actually used EMC to convert the PSR1500 & the T2 style to PA format.
The way EMC handles the megavoices is to put the strum & pluck noises into an SFX track which can be deleted ( if required). The squeaks that ensure in the sfx track, I am certain don't really represent the fret noises etc the T2 makes. Even with those deleted, the PSR1500 converted better than the T2.
I've been working on a method of converting psr styles without having to use EMC by just using PT12 or XG Works sequencer & OMB software ie saving the individual style parts as midifiles, editing the drum tracks to suit the PA800's drum mapping, then using the midifile import function in the PA800 to create the style.

I think I may other alternatives for getting rid of the fret noises via free 3rd party style software for the psr.
Or the fret noises can be deleted via event list editing in One Man Band software or the pc sequencer. The note mapping for the frets is in the manual.

Suppose I'm trying to reinvent the wheel by going to this trouble,but I do get a more accurate conversion. Reason also why I'll only convert the occasional style.

If the style uses Mega voices, then they will not convert to other boards very well, as they are Midi loops with extra effects added, and so have to be controlled directly by the appropriate style software. (Upper/later Yamahas or the Wersi OAA)
If you do try to use a normal voice, then you will spend months tweaking it, but it still won’t sound correctly.
Hope this helps

Bill
