The Yamaha site with this XG Midi library is no longer available on the internet. The first includes those midi files that are still available for download from. When recording the style demo songs, only Channels 1-8 were.
The initial conversion can be performed in the opening Main Window. Most often some fine-tuning is required. This is done in the following windows.
Here you open a MIDI file from the 'Open MIDI File' button or the 'Recent MIDI Files' list.
If you have a 'Conversion Data' file from a previous project then import it.
Play the MIDI file to find which measures and which voices you can use.
In the left part of the Piano Roll you can mute channels individually; and in the 'MIDI Player' you can loop a section of the file to find loopable measures.
Select the measure blocks for the style in 'Part Selector'.
Select which voices (MIDI file channels) to use for the 8 output channels in the style in 'Voice Selector'. Don't use melody line channels for styles!
Convert and save the Style file. You need not save now. You will be warned if you try to run a new project or close the program without having saved.
You will be asked to save a conversion data file when saving the style. This is recommended as you then will be able to continue a project later.
Check the style parts in 'Style Player'. This will NOT sound as the keyboard; but it will tell you, if there are critical errors in your selections.
Fine-tune the style in the following windows. Access buttons to these windows are in the right side of this window.
These will be accessible once a file has been loaded.
