No effort required at all, copy 999 midis to a folder on your pc and they are automatically arranged alphabetically! Then select the "A"s and drag to the IMEXPORT folder and input to playlist A on the 7000. Empty IMEXPORT and repeat for the "B"s. You effectively have the same alpha look up as the technics alpha sort, at effort at least a hundred times faster than loading and saving a thousand individual midis as a technics files...

As far as the midi to style it worked well enough if you listened to the midi and selected the appropriate options first, the floppy version for use in the keyboard also had manual selections which significantly improved results.
