PA5X: FIRST TEST OF STYLE CREATOR BOT (SCB)

No edits are possible - only automatic conversion to style.

I first tried a midi (Autumn Leaves) then another (Desirè) - both gave terrible results; MEL tracks were included, which almost never works. Pads and Keyboard Sets were lousy, and Chord Sequences were useless.

Then I tried a third midi - Night Love with Jeff Lorber, which is used here as an example, and I have also worked with it in Style Works to compare.

   


All 3 midis are of unknown origin and of average quality, and contain chords that typically cause problems.
All instruments were translated correctly - I get the same with Style Works.

Piano is interpreted as CHD, as in Style Works, but this is actually MEL in some places (from 50 to 66 in Style Works).
SCB has chosen 2, 4, 4 and 4 bars for Variations, while I would have chosen 8, 8, 8 and 16 bars.
SCB has chosen the sequence 50 to 54 bars for VAR 3, while I would have chosen this from 66 to 82 bars - then the piano would have worked - it does not work with 50 to 54 bars, because here it has a MEL role, which you can hear from 1:00 onwards.

No edits have been made.

Otherwise it doesn't sound that bad at all - this style is very difficult to create manually, but SCB has actually surprised positively.

Intros and Endings are OK, and Intro 2 and Ending 2 are neutral, just like on the internal styles.
Fills are OK.
Keyboard Sets are OK.
Pads are OK.
General volume mixing is OK.
The Chord Sequence is useless.
No effects or EQ were added.

All style parts start and stop as they should, and the harmonies work as they should, except for the piano in VAR 3.
SCB has also actually managed to get Overdrive Gt to work, even though this is MEL.

The next test will probably be a DOO midi.
