He everyone!

Does anyone has a good tutorial in English or Dutch on how to make a style from a midi?

Greets Jesse!

Hi --

Parts 2 and 3 of this series discuss how to make a style from an SMF:

http://sandsoftwaresound.net/mox-perf-to-psr-style-part-1/
http://sandsoftwaresound.net/mox-perf-to-psr-style-part-2/
http://sandsoftwaresound.net/mox-perf-to-psr-style-part-3/

I also recommend reading the resources available through Jorgen's site before starting. Style making takes a bit of background knowledge and effort.

Hope this helps -- pj

Downloaded the zip file, extracted the contents.  Don't know how to launch the program. Please advice. Thanks

Don't have too high expectations, general opinion is that these midi style makers don't make a style by themselves. It's just a starting point for you to work on extensive editing.

Hi

Besides my "midi2style" previously mentioned
check my "Style Creation Course" starting at http://www.jososoft.dk/yamaha/articles/style_1.htm
and my "Style Reference" starting at http://www.jososoft.dk/yamaha/articles/style2_0.htm

This will give you some theory and some ideas of the task and the proces...

That is so very true, and it's definitely not a negative commentary on the programs themselves. They are tools, not "magic pixie dust." The best tools in the world are no better than the person (or robot, etc.) wielding them.

However, this is not said to discourage anyone from learning how to make their own style files, merely to warn them that a certain amount of "elbow grease" is required, as well as a good deal of "practice makes perfect."

And if you want to make styles that utilize any of the more advanced capabilities of style files, then it's important to learn about the CASM section of a style file, all of the parameters in it, and the settings available for each parameter.

EDIT: But you don't have to learn about the CASM section right away, because a standard CASM section with default settings might be all you need-- and if you do decide to dig deeper, you do not have to learn every parameter and its settings all at once; just skim through them briefly to see what's available, but then focus on the ones that you're most interested in, and leave the others for later.

Thank you all! I will take a look at these sites and will text you if I have a problem!
