No software can do it yet.
Best way is to export each style's CV's and import them into a new style on pa3x.
Adjustments/eq/FX all from scratch again...
Some styles though could be converted via Emc styleworks software,but that's only for some styles,not for every style....best way is everything from scratch for now!!!

CV = "Chord Variation"
A single VARiation within a single STYLE can have up to 6 CVs
Let's say you've created a 4-measure backing (all tracks) in a style's VAR1 CV1
That will play correctly no matter what chord-types you are playing e.g. minor/dim/aug chords (i.e. chord-types)
However often one may want some subtle musical differences in the style tracks when playing these different chord types.
CVs give you this facility - so
CV1 could be for 7th chords
CV2 could be for minor chords
CV3 for everything else
etc...etc...
It's this structure which gives Korg arrangers the "lead" in style authenticity configuration.
A good "STYLE-STRUCTURE" description and background can be found from page 224 in the current PA4X User Manual - well worth reading and will hopefully set you straight.
Cheers

Stilli , Do not mess with exporting styles' partial CV SMFs !
It's far better and easier to export a full style SMF of Pa4X using shift button and importing the whole style SMF0 in Pa3X
But a really nasty job of editing almost everything will follow in any case since 2 arrangers have different sound libraries ,
effects and routing architecture and certainly will never sound in the same quality !

Thanks Pete, that was a very good explanation, I am enlightened and will check out that section of the manual as you suggest.karmathanever wrote:CV = "Chord Variation"
