I need it to convert MF to Korg PA 3X Styles

Hi,
I don’t think it will work. You need codes to get it to run on your computer.
I believer the owner passed away, so can’t get codes anymore. That’s the story I heard.

Hopefully I’m wrong as I have the program and can’t use it anymore after I had to get a new computer.

Aha, so you say, that even if you've bought it, the codes don't work on a new computer?

If so, this is a dead end.

Thanks so much for the info.

P.S. Do you know of any software which does the same?
I'm using Korg PA 3X, and kind of don't want to invest in PA4X, which has this option on the hardware

Hi, the way it worked, was, you bought the software, then you had to install. Your computer would then came up with a serial no. ( something like that) which you had to send to him. Then he sent you a code back.

I haven’t been able to run mine for a few years now. Very disappointing. I first bought it back in the early 1990’s and upgraded it regularly.

There is nothing else like it.

I was hoping there was a workaround that I don’t know of.

Whichkeyboard styles were you hoping to convert (mf)

I want to convert SMF into styles for Korg PA 3

I'm pretty sure Korg has some kind of built-in facility for converting MIDIs to styles. Frankly, doing it and achieving good results is a lot of work no matter what tool you use. The most valuable aspect of StyleWorks was converting styles between brands (some conversions worked better than others!) and previewing styles.

There are plenty of 3rd party tools for Yamaha styles & keyboards, and at least a couple have been developed for Casio(!) A long time ago, Roland released a Style Converter software, but it was crude IMO, and had limited functionality. FWIW.

Dear TedS, yes you are right, there is a tool on a newer Korg PA-s ( 700, 1000. 4x)

I'm using Korg PA 3x, and I kind of don't want to make a trade, but it seems like I'll have to.

Otherwise, there is an option to edit SMF through Cubase, I'm making smaller files for Var 1, 2, 3, 4, and Fill-ins, or a single file with markers, but it is always a complex process. First you need to transpose everything to C major, and then continue.

Yamaha launched last year very simple and efficient software https://europe.yamaha.com/en/produc...s/keyboards/apps/midisong_to_style/index.html

Hi ,
Ted is correct, you could create styles from midi files in style works , but it was still a lot of work, you still had to choose tracks, pick starting points, one advantage it had, was that it transposed the chords into a single chord type, but not necessarily very well.

If you need to turn your midi file into a single chord type there’s software available (and free ) to turn them into Yamaha styles, then the can be converted to a .mid file that can be imported into your Korg.
Possibly the one you mentioned or Midi2Style

Yamaha and Korg styles are quite similar. Basically Yamaha markers need to be changed to Korg markers. Channels 9 & 11 need to be swapped. Percussion and bass are on opposite channels.

Then save and import into Korg style editor.Then do the necessary editing in the Korg itself.

The videos below are for PA5x, but there maybe some useful information.
Qui doesn’t change midI file into single chord type, he picks sections that don’t have chord changes.

BTW korgs styles don’t need to be in key of C. You can use any chord type or key, you just have to put the correct key and chord type in the style settings.
The Root and the Type. So for dm7 chord , Root D, Type m7.
When played a style, it will play back the correct chords.
Makes it a lot easier to pick your sections, if it can be based on any chord.

I used that software but it's still a lot of work to do what you're after. I eventually found it better to look for styles on the NET that were ready made by some dedicated fellows and found a lot for Yamaha, Roland and also Korg. So why would you want to waist a lot of time to do them yourself?
