a bit of confusion here.

The EMC does a good job of converting a midi song into a Technics style. It can save a Technics style as a midi file for editing in any pc program, most efficiently in cubase, but could never convert a Technics preset style song into a midi song. A separate program, the Song Converter can convert songs between the older pre 5k Technics formats and also revoice midi files to Technics format, but again cannot convert a preset style/pad song into a midi song.

Before the 6k I simply played the sequence into the pc to create a full midi file with all preset parts. Since the 6k this function has been possible internally using the apc to smf convert function. Any live played part of a song can be saved as a midi and then edited externally. Any preset style/pad/chord sequence can be converted to spare tracks internally and then edited externally in the same way.
