Converting Styles to MIDI Patterns

If you have found an acoustic or a percussion style that you want to use on your pad, but want to edit it further in the Pattern editor, you must convert it to a MIDI pattern first.

Prerequisite

  • In the pad section on the left, the pad that contains the style is active.

  • You have set up the style on the Agent page so that it plays the way you want it.

Procedure

  • Click Convert Style to MIDI Pattern on the Agent page to convert the current style into a MIDI pattern.
    Note

    The conversion takes into account all the settings in the Performance section, with one exception: If you convert a percussion style, Random Complexity is not taken into account.

    If you convert an acoustic style, only the active part of the style, that is, the selected main, fill, intro, or ending is converted.

Result

The style is converted and the Agent page automatically switches to the MIDI Player. The Pattern editor becomes available, allowing you to modify the pattern.

Note

Once a style is converted to a MIDI pattern, it can no longer be opened in the style player.
