Hi Ty,
I do still have my SD1+. A lot of the sd1 styles don't really suit what I like to play. I was sort of aware of that when I bought it, but I had hoped to create some styles for it by using EMC & converting or using midi to style functions. Lack of onboard editing functions made it rather more difficult than I'd expected. I really like the SD1 Live drums though.. About the only type of style creation I do for it now is using it's pattern copy function.

I personally don't really use much in the way of pop or rock styles,
I mainly use ballad, latin, swing, bigband, movie, type styles.
I prefer the old 40's , & early 50's type of music & so far I haven't had too much trouble finding a style to suit.

PA800 is lacking in the piano ballad styles that I like in my psr1500,though, & when I get round to it, I'll try & convert some.
The SD1 also lacked this type of style.

I had a look thru the PA800 styles & didn't notice any reference to a "60's pop" style as such either. I think my psr1500 has this type of genre well covered, but I really never use them.

Are you actually after a 60's pop style? I could try converting one for you ( if you don't have EMC) from my psr collection, only problem is I wouldn't be able to tweak it because as far as I'm aware the PA1x won't read a PA800 style.

One thing the Korgs definately don't lack is style editing functions for styles.

I did my first conversion a couple of days ago. Just a simple piano arpeggio/orchestra style ( no drums).
Still working out all the different settings & what they mean on the korg.
For PSR styles it looks like they could actually be converted without using EMC, by just using midi to style function. The main bit of editing that would be involved would be the editing of the XG drums & that might be solved by creating XG mapped user drum sets on the korg.

The fact that the korg may lack the odd style, doesn't really worry me.


best wishes
Rikki
