Hello All,

I have a question. I have 3 different sets which has many styles. I wanted to combine my top styles from all 3 sets into 1 set.

I tried manually loading a style into a different set and the sounds are off.

Does anyone know of a way around this?


Thanks

Hi there. Yes it can be done quite easily by using a program called XRM. All details and a Tutorial on my Website here... Won't deal with Custom sounds though - no software can do that at the moment. This program deals with styles and performances.

Hi There,

Yes XRM , although originally written for the PA1X, will work with PA800 Sets
It is available for download from my website at http://www.palibrarian.net/index.php?op ... &Itemid=10

Yes indeed for pa2x/800/500/588/pa1x and pa80 styles also. The program was written by Mick Barry and I use it for my pa2x style banks:)

Ok i try to install the program in my pc, however i got some file conflic version errors...it says the program has the old version of some files in system 32 ...so i decided to not continue...i appreciate if you have any comments...thanks.

Which OS and Version are you running?

i am using windows xp, version 2002, service pack 3 and fully updated...

Can't see what the problem can be then as I'm running exactly the same OS as yourself with no problem. Had it have been Vista I could have understood it. If you were to install keeping the old versions of System32 files I can't see you doing any harm. The program was written in Visual Basic and is compatible. What I would do is create a new Restore point and then install the program but keeping the old files stated by Windows. If that doesn't work or causes any problems then you could go back to your new restore point.
Personally I would do that but it's up to you. It's your pc after all.

ok thanks...I'll need to make a decision about it...actually, i used another pc and it has the same issue so you may want to update those old files if possible?...if you need the exact names i will try to send it to you...thanks again...

Hi there,


Send me a list of the files and I will sort it out for you.

You can use the email button or send it to dunbharra AT gmail.com ( replace AT with @)

Thanks for stepping in there Mick. I didn't know what else to suggest.

ok these are some files with confliction: MSVCRT.DLL, Scrrun.dll
but when i keep the existing file, the program installed and it seems to be working ok...

so i can manage the syles now, but it is not clear if i want to choose style x- y- z on my new bank, do all user sounds and pcm and user dk related to these three also go to the specific bank?? ...thanks

HI

Glad it worked out for you.

XRM only manages styles and Performances.

At present, along with some others are working on developing an editor for the PA series which will also manage user sounds and dk etc. However because of the way the data is compressed it is a slow process trying to decode this.


within each style is a pointer to to storage locations of user sounds and dk used in that style and, at present, if those are moved the style will no longer sound the same. The is the reason why XRM does not manage user sounds, the ability was programmed into it at the same time the performance rountines were added but in the version realised this was disabled to avoid conflicts with other styles pointing to a user sound in a particular "slot" which had been over written.

There have been many topics on the subject of merging style sets using user sounds in the forum and a tutorial has been written showing how laborious this can be and how it can be done.

Yes Mick, I just wanted to say that. There are some tutorials that you can find which explain how to merge different SETs into one.

It is not difficult, just time consuming
