Ok Don , I greatly appreciate your help in this matter many thanks again Terry .
Hi Terry
I never converted any midi songs to styles, but I do have some styles that probably have been created in that way as the intros and endings of "song dedicated" styles are like what I hear from some midi files I have.
If a keyboard has that feature it will of course create that style in the format of the keyboard.
I used to have a program that converted other formats to YAMAHA STYLE FILE format, but have not used it for years as one can find collections of other keyboards' styles converted to YAMAHA STYLE FILE on the net.
So by creating a style from a midi file and then converting it to YSF format would give you what you are looking for.I very much agree with the statement that some are good and some are not. The 8 bar intros and endings work better than
1, 2, 3, 4 as they do not have to "bend" to the chords chosen while you play. As a fact it seems even YAMAHAs own intros have been created for a major chord. The intro and ending is always excellent if a major chord is chosen. Many times if you want the intro, (let's say for St.Louis blues or I love Paris where it must be minor), to be minor, the intro is not as good as in major.
