Hi ,
Obviously Yamaha styles are the easiest format to be able to be cloned.
One Man Band & Livestyler software are living proof of that. For $50 USD & a pc you basically have the equivalent of a psr keyboard. Where they basically fall down is that they don't have a soundsource that plays back the styles faithfully, especially the mega voices. Most people don't want to spend time tweaking styles.

------------------------------------------
Bill, are you saying that the wersi actually plays back the various types of sounds triggered via different velocities. I'm not referring to strum noises or fret noises
(my PA800 can reproduce those also), I'm referring to sounds on the nylon guitar voice like "open soft" at a velocity of between 1 to 20, "open medium" at a velocity of between 21 to 40, a hammer between 91 to 105 etc etc
Truly remarkable if they've managed to do that.
Just wondering why though , a wersi conversion in your opinion, would be superior to an emc pc conversion ? Same company writes the software I assume?

-------------------------------------------

Personally I've found that when converting it's not only the quality of the sound that determines the outcome. If EMC doesn't convert the notes correctly it wouldn't matter what the soundsource is, it still won't sound right.
I personally agree with Jorgen,

Quote:
Don't ever expect converted styles to sound as good as at the instrument they were created for.

One option I'm looking at in the future is,
my PA800 as controller , midied to a laptop for vst's.
Pa800 style parts, vst soundsource for melody voices.

best wishes

The rest are converted, however because Wersi has full control of the conversion process, you get a more superior conversion compared to the software on a computer. (It is however still a conversion, just a better conversion them normal)
