No styles from any keyboard can be "converted" to audio of any kind, including mp3 or wave, in which converted means some automatic software process, like how one might want to convert a wav to an mp3. That's because styles are not audio. They are essentially electronic sheet music containing midi loops.

It would be like asking how to convert the sheet music of Beethoven's 5th symphony to an mp3. It can't be converted. The music can played by a symphony orchestra, or played by a multitimbral synth workstation, and then the result of that performance can be recorded. Those recordings will be completely different from each other because the performances are unique based on the skills and abilities of the performers/synth, which is not part of the sheet music (or midi file).

What you can do is to play those styles on the keyboard in which they were intended to use, record them, and then use an audio editor to precisely chop them at the loop points. Styles will be played differently, however, based on the chords that the keyboardist uses, and different chords can produce a different result compared to pitch shifting the audio. That's because the synth has sounds that use different samples (multisamples) and parameters (keytracking) that change based on which notes that are played. The style itself is a midi loop in that has usually been "normalized" to the key of C major, but this is not always the case, particularly for style intros and endings that have chord progressions within those parts.

So, it's not merely a matter of an automatic process of converting a style to audio. It has to be played, the result recorded, and how it is played can dramatically alter the result.
