 |
|
| I use custom styles on my PA500 for live performances. I'm currently using Sonar & Kat2000 building each track & variation individually. This is very labor intensive.... There has got to be a more user friendly and intuitive way. Just wondering what others are doing? |

I had the PA500 then I bought the PA600 to do just this thing, import/create styles using midi with markers.

| Please elaborate on how the 600 makes producing custom styles easier than the 500... Thanks! |

The PA600 allows you to import the entire style structure in one file using midi markers to identify the separate style elements. So you can work on your style in a DAW and once you have all the Intros, Variations, Breaks, Fills & Endings defined you can import the whole style in one step via a midi file. Very efficient!

Thanks for the info. So you are able to export directly from a DAW to the PA600? No conversation software like KAT2000 required? I'm currently using Cakewalk Sonar. But have to export the style files into KAT2000 to convert from Midi format 1 to a .sty file. |

I also use Cakewalk Sonar Artist. No conversion needed just Save As Format 0 midi. Here's a simple example of a midi created with Sonar with markers that can be directly imported into the PA600 Style Editor to create a style.

Actually, I use an INS file to define ALL the PA600 instruments in my Cakewalk DAW. When I audition the styles elements in the DAW I hear it EXACTLY how it will sound on the PA600.
