I've been reading this forum with great interest for some time. But now I've decided to register because I also want to write something from time to time.

My name is Raimund and I come from Germany. Playing the keyboard is one of my favorite pastimes, along with all sorts of other hobbies.

I'm looking for a specific title-related style. I also found what I was looking for in an online shop. But unfortunately the style is only available there for the PA1X. This keyboard is pretty old.

Hence my question: Can someone tell me whether I can load a style written for the PA1X into the PA1000?

I realize that you have to adjust at least sounds, volumes and effects. That's no problem. But would such a style basically run on the PA1000?

The operator of the online shop told me that it would work. But I would be happy if someone from the forum could confirm that before I buy the style. It only costs 12 euros. But I still don't want to spend the money for nothing.

Thank you for your help.

Thanks for the detailed answer.

I had already read in the manual that PA1X styles can be loaded into the PA1000. But it's good to have that confirmed again by someone more experienced than me.

Another question: I found a midi file for the title I'm interested in, which sounds pretty good after a few adjustments.

Now I wanted to try creating a style from it using the Style Creator Bot. I've had very good experiences with some midi files. With others the result was unusable. That's why I just wanted to test it with the midi file for the title I was looking for. But the PA1000 refuses to work, saying that this midi file cannot be converted into a style. Unfortunately I can't figure out where the error is. Does anyone have an idea where I can look?

Thank you for every tip Raimund

Thank you for the detailed explanations.

Unfortunately I was unable to achieve success with this particular midi file. I reduced the MF to 8 tracks and also made the channel assignments accordingly, i.e. only assigned channels 9-16. But the file cannot be converted into a style or imported into a style. In both cases the PA1000 issues error messages.

The funny thing is that it works with all the other midi files I have. Even if the results are often not satisfactory and require a lot of rework. But the conversion and import generally work. Only this one midi file causes problems.

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar enough with Midi issues to find the error here.
