Thanks Mr Chello there are some styles were  say to wow great style i think the are very old styles but wow som are really good

Jungle wow i love the drums and bass to much in this style effecten we can give them how we want them no any problem

10 points i give this style really great

Thanks for those  styles Mr Chello

 


Question have you convert those styles or somebody else the basic is perfect and so as you say no effecten but that is really no problem if the basic is good the style becomes great and beautiful so much effecten Pa5x have

I owned both the i3 then i30. The styles were good for that time period.
Main benefit was the style changes with the different style chord types.

They were already converted to Pa80 format; I only imported them, which took much longer than normal; several minutes.

If they had been in original format, I would have first converted them to Pa80, then to Pa5X.

Korg has a very well-functioning conversion, unlike eg Yamaha.
These styles can become as good as the internal ones on the Pa5X if effects are added.

Thanks for the information - I didn't know that.

Some really good styles there Chello ,
its interesting that some older styles are more balanced than the current ones
Thank you

Everything was better before, for the simple reason that time was not money to the extent it has become.
Today, everything is about using as little time as possible, because otherwise the cost will be too high.

Many older styles have more advanced patterns than the variants that are presented today.
The new ones have more effects, but worse patterns.

Many of these older styles can actually be better than the new ones if the right effects are added.

Chello...Karthanever on Korg Forum in 2015 gave a good explanation.

Chord variations:-
Most arrangers STYLES will have "variations" (usually 4) where, as you know, you can get some different instrumentation and subtle differences within a style in order to avoid a monotonous 8-measure repeat (for example) just by pressing the VAR buttons

Example:-
So Korg implemented CVs - this means that when you create a style (and let's assume you are starting to build an 8-measure loop for the main VAR1) you can actually create up to 6 CVs for this one single VAR (in other words 6 x 8-measure loops) - why? Well you could create your main CV1 which would be what you typically want to hear when playing major chords BUT you may want to vary the bass line a bit (perhaps piano too) when playing 7th chords - so create CV2 but with those changes - you may also want slight changes again when playing minor chords so create CV3. When done you now have CV1, CV2, CV3 with subtle differences all for the main VAR1 for this style. Now you (still within STYLE edit) tell the style to play CV2 when any 7th chord is played, CV3 when any minor chord is played etc..etc..

When you now play this style's VAR1 live you will hear (using the example above) the various CVs played according to the chord type you are playing.

So having said all this, all main VARs (1-4) can have up to 6 CVs, all other elements (FILLs, INTRO ENDING etc..) can have 2 CVs - same principle applies to all when building a style.

When you play a STYLE the Korg scans your chord, identifies its "type" (maj, min, 7th etc…) and immediately switches to the correct CV within the VAR/FILL/INTRO/ENDING that is playing - it doesn't matter whereabouts you are within any measure the scanning and CV changes are instantaneous.

Note that assigning chord types to a CV is very flexible too - there are many chord types to choose from and you can also have multiple chord types assigned to one CV - for example using the above example - you could have created CV2 for 7ths and major 7ths and CV3 for minor and diminished etc….

Now you did me a big favor, because I didn't understand the connection until this explanation was given.

This "new" knowledge could have major consequences for my further work with creating styles, because I can fix styles that have the wrong CV.
