These are the most important features of the programs:

Style Converter - for the conversion of other keyboards' styles for your instrument; you get access to all styles on the market, even to those which were not produced for your instrument.

Song to Style Converter - for the creation of styles from midifiles; you miss a suitable accompaniment pattern for a specific song? No problem - load the song midifile into the Song to Style Converter and "cut" the rhythm from the song data.

Style Editor - for fast and efficient modification of your style data. Alter volumes, sound assignments and transpositions, even for several tracks at once.

Import/Export module - here you can create a midifile or a Steinberg Cubase arrangement from any style. So you may now use all the sophisticated functions of your sequencer program even when editing styles, just as if it was a GM song.

Select the desired destination format and the program module which like to work in. The Play Style module provides playback functions in order to listen to all style parts by the soundcard of your PC. It is available at any time no matter in which of the modules you are.

The Style Converter

Here you can convert other keyboards' styles into the format of your instrument. The style structure will be completely transferred, sounds and drum map will be recalculated as well. Simply select a source format, click the desired style and the conversion will be executed immediately, then save the result to disk. You can affect the conversion by selecting various options (depending on source and destination format).

The following formats can be read:

-- Keyboards --
Technics KN800/770, 1000/750, 2000/1200/901, 3000/3500/1500/920, 5000

Of course you can listen to the result in the Play Style module first or even modify the new style in the Style Editor. You may set your own part assign map as well.

Song to Style Converter

Here you can create a style from a midfile easily. When loading the midi data the tracks will be automatically separated into the categories DRUMS, BASS, CHORD, PAD and MELODY (by criteria like note length, -number and polyphony). Then Style Works will set a start bar will for each style part. Of course you can do this manually as well, i.e. for each part you can define which section of the song will become which style part (e.g. Intro will be taken from bar 1 -9, Variation 1 from 10 with a length of 4 bars etc.). By clicking the button showing the part name you can listen to new style part as if you would play it in C on your keyboard.
An important setting is the Part type parameter.
- Neutral: all chord changes will be removed and you will get a part for universal use (normally the best setting for the "main parts", i.e. "Variation", "Main", "Arrangement" etc.
- Playback: the original chord settings are being maintained, only a general transposition is being executed in order to adapt the part to the basic key of C. This is the standard setting for Intros, Fills and Endings.

By clicking the relevant "Detaills" button you get into this part's Part Editor where you can set various parameters for each track and make use of further efficient tools in order to make the result perfect.
