I hope I could help some directions as to how to create Intros for a minor scale song.
I went thru an exercise today and found that it's more complicate then a major scale song.
1) record the intro in Am key as MIDI song on keyboard, save MIDI file (melody is recorded on track #16)
2) using Style Magic, I create an intro section from this MIDI file
3) load original style in Style Magic and load the intro section B (Style Magic has trouble to play this intro correctly)
4) save the update style to USB then bring to Tyros3
5) on Tyros3 , the intro for this style is played correctly when I start with Am chord. When the intro ends, the lighted up variation is played in Cm chord instead of Am chord.

How can I get the intro and main sections to play in the Am key in this example ?
Helps are greatly appreciated.

I just figured this out. Simply record the tunes in Cm key.
In Style Magic, select C  m in the Auto Selection box (right side of the screen).
I think I can do the same thing with Am key, just select C  m in the Auto Selection box.
Have tried Am yet.

Tried with Am key, does not work. So I choose to record intros using Cm key, this works well for now.

I think your initial problem was that you recorded the intro in Am, but the main variations were still in C.

You are absolutely right. By recording intros using Cm key, the new style comes out correct.
I already move forward creating a few more "minor key" song styles

After creating more than 100 song styles, the key infos are:
1) for major key song, record intro / ending using C major key
2) for minor key song, record intro / ending using C minor key
Just that simple.
