KORGS Onboard Smf to style conversion is a super useful feature that Yamaha can only dream of having unless they implement it in future models along with a better VH processor & CS...

That's one of the many features of the Pa900 that I have not looked into ... I will have to do that ...

I don't think 900 has the midi-to-style converter. I'll give it a try when I get a chance.

That converter thing seems pretty useful.

Wish I under stood midi better.

In any case, it appears a song has to be saved in midi format first?

I finally got around to trying this just now. It actually works pretty well. I have converted three songs and the results are o.k. The drum set defaulted to GM/XG, but I quickly changed the kit. I'm sure the other sounds can be changed just as easily.
All I did was press the Record button, select Convert Midi Song to Style, then select a midi song, and press o.k. It did it in a couple of seconds, then asked where I wanted to save it and suggested Favorites 1 bank.
The fills and breaks are nothing special, but they all work smoothly and fit. Intros are good on the ones I did. It even created STS settings, and the sounds chosen were appropriate to the songs.
I'll do some more for sure. This could turn out to be a great tool!

Hi Don

With you being "The Southern Gentleman ", would you be kind enough to send me one of your styles that you converted from Midi ?

Thanks Don
