Hi Fran,
Giovanni was originally hoping to convert his Technics Glenn Miller disk to Tyros format. The current version of EMC doesn't do a great job. One reason being, that Technote ( the style creators) used a number of "user sounds" in these styles. EMC seems to default to piano when it can't find the correct sound. It takes ages trying to work out the correct sounds & try & fix up the style.
We then discovered that Technote had put out their Technics range of style disks in Roland format including the Glenn Miller disk. Unfortunately according to Technote, their Roland range would probably would have the same conversion problems as trying to convert the Technics range ie wouldn't get a perfect duplicate without lots of editing.

Actually converting Roland to GM to Yamaha XG should be easier than vice versa. And yes it's a real pain when arrangers don't use gm/gs drum & instrument mapping. Even my ex VA7 had some non GM/GS drum Kits.

EMC has had some sort of an ugrade called Styleworks XT. Haven't been able to get details on it as the website is still defaulting to Styleworks 2000 info.
Be great if you could get Klaus to update his website. Luv to find out what's new in this version.

best wishes
Rikki
