Many thx guys. Unfortunately I don't know how to use CASM ' chunk'
Hi --
Please think of a Yamaha style file as a container (like a box). A style file contains chunks. A regular style file has three chunks: MIDI, CASM and OTS. The MIDI chunk is in Type 0 Standard MIDI Format (SMF).
The CASM chunk holds the Style File Format Settings. (Genos Reference Manual, page 21). The OTS chunk holds the One Touch Settings.
Audio style files hold two additional chunks beyond the standard ones: The AASM chunk describes the audio information for each style section (e.g., Main A) and the AFil chunk contains the audio waveforms (along with some other gunk).
Ordinary DAWs like Sonar, Cubase, etc. don't know about the CASM or OTS chunks. If you read a style file with Sonar, etc., the DAW throws the CASM and OTS chunks away. If you create a MIDI (style) file with a DAW, the file does not have the CASM or OTS chunks. You need to add these chunks in order to get a complete style file. (Yamaha Audio Phraser can be used to create the audio file chunks.)
I use Jørgen Sørensen's tools to create and edit the CASM and OTS chunks. There are other good tools available like Michael Bedesem's MixMaster and the tool StyleMagic, as mentioned by Joe.
Michael's tools are available at:

Hope this helps -- pj
