The export to midi file from KORG with many markers, that is the bug of the OS. if you look the file, there are many duplicate parts, however in order to create a "good style" you have to create at least 3 variations of each sections (intro, var, ending, break, fills ...) with Major, Minor and 7th. It is very complicated process and most of arranger-users don't have that kind of knowledge of sequencer, daw, midi mapping, midi message ...
@mdmusiz Exactly. To create a Midi file from scratch to work as a Style would be a large task. But, if there was a way to figure out the marker letters/numbers of the intros, variations, fills, break, and endings. I think you could export a Midi file from a Style, edit it and then import it back to the Style. It would still be easy to edit the Style in the Pa5x. 👍🎹👍
Thanks for your video First of all the reason you get all midi trucks 1-16 when you export a certain style is cuz in the midi in section you have all trucks selected as on you have to turn off midi in trucks from 1-8 this tells the keyboard that your not using trucks 1-8 so when you export that style you want to edit the trucks 1-8 won’t be exported. Markers are there to tell the keyboard this part or length let’s say 1-4 bars are for variation one for example so you insert marker and you liable it as v1cv1 it has to be small letters you just told the keyboard from bar or length 1-4 are for variation 1 and then if you want to create variation 2 so now you have to insert a new marker v2cv1 by the way it depends on your DAW you have to create a maker truck in the same session of your style that your editing otherwise it might not work so now from bar 4-6 for example and you liable it v2cv1 so now you told the keyboard that this is for variation 2 and so on. It’s very imported to liable the markers as v1,v2,v3,v4 all with cv1 / for fills are liable it as f1 f2 f3 all with cv1 ok, so the keyboard recognizes that this midi file or song you created to use the lengths or bars as style otherwise it will not recognize the markers it will be a regular midi song so the markers and adding v1cv1 to them as I mentioned above it tells the keyboard which are variations and fills from this bar to this bar ok. As the volume or other sound effects of that particular style your exporting to edit of course it will change cuz you exporting midi information notes only not the entire style in order for you to have the same setting as the other style you exported you have to copy the style you want to edit and paste it into a new empty user style location and then once your done editing your style imported into the pasted new style location and it should sound the same considering there’s no issues with keyboard software. By the way this is done using user style location because the factory styles can’t be edited or changed. The same original location if you can than you don’t have to copy paste into a new location once your done editing that style you exported just go back to style record edit and use the same style and then import the edited style into the original one and it should sound the same. . 😊 By the way CV means chords variation what dose that stands for is that you can assign and play certain chords to change the drums or bass or any instrument in the variation 1 for example without changing to variation 2 or using variation 2 to add drums parts I hope I explained myself as best possible I do that sometimes let say I setup CV2 in Var 1 on chord augmented for example to add special note in drums section or any truck that you want to play something else when you hold or play augmented chords you will see that the added part will play only when you play augmented chord and it will go back to CV1 when you play all other chords. 😊 good luck.. by the way it is very easy to create style from scratch if you know how to program a certain style beats and so on. This is why a special person with those skills is called an arranger 😊.
@billfriesTPA You're welcome. I've been using Cakewalk since it came around. Mainly because in the '80s Cakewalk had the best Midi engines. So I'm using the new Cakewalk with all my old VST plugins that I've collected over years. Then I master whatever tracks I'm working on in Sound Forge using ozone 9. When working with just one file I think Sound Forge is the best.
Jon, is it possible to first record a melody on the Pa5x, and then have the background accompaniment follow along? Or do you always have to start with a chord sequence then the melody? If you have already addressed this in another video of yours, I'm sorry I just haven't seen it yet thanks, ed
@edlesniak2475 You can if you're using the 16 track sequencer recorder. Create your melody track and then add your accompaniments. In a Style it's harder to do. Because the CV length is usually only eight measures, which isn't long enough for your Melody, I would think. Also, if you create a melody on one of the style tracks, the notes of that Melody will change with every chord change. Another way to do it would be to record your melody to an MP3 and then have one of the players play it back. But remember, your style will not change the melody notes of the MP3. Check out my RUclips channel playlist on keyboards. It'll show you how the sequencer works and how to create an MP3. 👍🎹👍
@colinwhite4439 Watch this video again, and you will see that bringing a Midi file into a player is not hard to do, providing it is a 16-track file. But bringing a Midi file into a Style is very hard. If that Midi file does not have all the information that it needs to create a Style, it will not accept that file. So, it depends on where you are taking that file to. I am using the latestest firmware update, and it seems to be working fine. 👍🎹👍
I know that someone out there is going to end up diving this deep to really figure this out, might even be me at some point. so thanks again

@@jonmicheals621 yes, there is a tutorial of Qui Robinez to show how to create the markers with simple beat style

By the way CV means chords variation what dose that stands for is that you can assign and play certain chords to change the drums or bass or any instrument in the variation 1 for example without changing to variation 2 or using variation 2 to add drums parts I hope I explained myself as best possible I do that sometimes let say I setup CV2 in Var 1 on chord augmented for example to add special note in drums section or any truck that you want to play something else when you hold or play augmented chords you will see that the added part will play only when you play augmented chord and it will go back to CV1 when you play all other chords. 😊 good luck.. by the way it is very easy to create style from scratch if you know how to program a certain style beats and so on.

@@ms6000 Great information, Thanks.
Thanks Jon - I have learned a good deal about my Pa5x from you. What DAW do you use to edit midifiles typically?

thank you for the tips but here in america we use cubase
@@alishaker8601 You should see the same thing when you export to a Midi file in Cubase.
