Hi Brian,
copying style parts is relatively simple once you get the hang of it.
I did a bit of an article, but have since changed my method, only in so far as to start with a "New" style instead of copying tracks to an existing style. http://www.createsongstyles.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=60&Itemid=56

If you're interested in giving it a go, we could discuss it further on Al's forum.

Copying style tracks from existing styles could be an easy way to get started. From there you could do something similar to what I did with this Beguine style http://www.arrangerworld.com/dl.asp?cmd=6&cid=49

ie it's a mix of PSR & KorgPA800 style tracks ie
Intro 1 & Ending 1 : totally psr except for korg drum tracks

The variations are Korg except for the bass & guitar tracks which were taken from a psr style.

best wishes

Well, I was really hoping to create some contemporary R&B, Soul, Reggae influenced styles. Yes, I thought I saw one of your threads where you discussed making custom styles (ie copying style elements) with the PA800. I want to see if it's worth the time and effort so, to answer your question, I will probably see if just copying tracks leads anywhere. I am also waiting for the Rob Sherrat DVD's so I can understand the possibilities creating customer styles.

thanks
Brian
