TRANSPOSITION MYSTERY SOLVED

Especially after I started using Style Creator Bot, I have experienced several times that it is impossible to find the correct transposition for ending 1 - even if all options for chord selection are tried on the Pa5X, the chords are wrong.

One example I worked with was Hard Times by Eric Clapton - ending 1 was wrong no matter what I did.

When I opened the midi file in Style Works, I immediately encountered the same problem, because Style Works had automatically chosen the same starting point for ending 1 as Style Creator Bot - no chord selection fit.

However, when I moved the starting point back a bit, everything was correct.


I have had many such experiences with Style Works until I found out that it was all due to the wrong starting point.

A lot of styles created with Style Creator Bot have this error, and this can only be fixed by making ending 1 shorter, until the start hits the right place.

In cases where there are too few bars for this to be possible, the only option is to make it as short as ending 2 or ending 1 - otherwise ending 1 remains unusable.


I created new intros and endings with Style Works, and all of them were longer than those with SCB.

SCB created intro 1 with 4 bars and ending 1 with 6 bars.
Style Works created intro 1 with 10 bars and ending 1 with 6 bars.

The demos clearly show what SCB does wrong:
Both intro 1 and ending 1 start too late, and ending 1 starts in the wrong place, so the chords are in the wrong key no matter what you do.

Hard Times with SCB:
0:00 - 0:15 intro 1
0:16 - 0:35 ending 1
Note that ending 1 starts with the wrong key.

Hard Times with Style Works:
0:00 - 0:33 intro 1
0:34 - 1:03 intro 2
1:04 - 1:52 ending 1
1:53 - 2:14 ending 2

Intro 2 and ending 2 are actually the most correct.
I have made intro 2/ending 2 as Playback.
