OK, I'll set up a YouSendit account in the next day or so (got a busy weekend) and you can post it for all the tweakers out there. It's a folder of 56 short (about 1MB) 128kbps MP3's. I would have liked to do a better bitrate, but I knew that would make it too big a file. It's certainly good enough to pick out the sounds easily.

One thing it shows up is how poorly many of the GW-8's styles are mixed. Thank God you can now adjust them..! Especially the insert effect (MFX) on the style section. Un-freakin' believable! All the distorted guitars are cranked to the max, and the only way to turn them down is to edit the MFX because the darn amp sim is post main fader...

Sorry, guys, but I didn't have time to tweak them in the GW-8 first! What you hear is OOTB (though I DID push the drums a little, to help pick out the kit sounds)

My friend took it back tonight for some gigs, not sure when I'll get it back to continue the project. I'm only going to do the main styles, not the World section, as much of that relies on special kits and sounds that no other Roland has (except maybe the Prelude, which ought to be compatible, anyway). Still, about 80 or so to go!

To be honest, it only took me a two or three hours with my Zoom H2 to do it. I have said for a long time that having AUDIO examples of all the different arranger's ROM styles would help SO MUCH with doing conversions and tweaking. Time to put my money where my mouth is, I guess!

I only hope, once these are up, that some others with T2's or PA2/1x's or other arrangers (not sure how useful Ketron would be, though, with the drums in audio) could continue the project, and we get a database of ALL arrangers ROM styles in audio. The day that happens, style conversion will be a quantum leap easier to do....
