Hi Scott,
the more complex the keyboards get, the harder the styles are to convert and get to sound reasonable. Got to contend with, mega voices , dnc voices, guitar mode tracks etc etc it's a wonder EMC can convert them at all. I try to avoid using it, but if I need to convert one of my old Technics, Roland or Ketron styles, I have no choice but to use EMC. My keyboards are long gone.
Fortunately if I want to convert one of my yammie styles, I can do it from a midifile. At least I know any tempo changes in intro's/endings will be intact and it won't mess up minor intro'/endings. One of my psr 1500 ( non mega voice styles) now only takes me a couple of hours for the PA3X. Used to take me way longer for the PA800 because I used to manually convert XG drums to korg format.
Fortunately I enjoy doing it. haahaa.

I have to admit that I too have found it takes quite a bit of time and tweaking to get
converted styles to sound acceptably decent on the target keyboard.
I hope EMC, or another brand style converter will be available soon
of which will support converting styles to/from Audya, Pa3X and Tyros 4.

Yes, I assume that the only Audya styles that could be completely converted (all auto accomp style parts) would be the ones without the audio style drum/instrumental loops,
and of which that keyboard is so impressively famous for,
so probably defeats the desire to convert Audya styles in the first place. oh well. frown

On the other hand, converting PA3X styles to Tyros 4 format and Tyros 4 styles to PA3X format appears to hold more promise. smile
