please bare with me
was wondering if I can take a style and send out its MIDI data to a midi file via MIDI OUT
and manipulate that midi file once open in something like GARAGEBAND to
have more ease working with it/ having fun with it rather than do it in the PA3x.

Are you trying to import Style elements into the sequencer as it is, or a midi song that you recorded using a Style?

simply export a styles midi data to a MAC OS desktop
then insert the midi data into a sequencer

lets say
a midi song recorded using a STYLE

i was really wondering if i could simply click on a style/ play it and have that midi data stream out via midi out as a midi file
I've never created a midi file on the pa3x
is that necessary for this option

thanks so much
forgive my puerile knowledge

In that case it's a lot easier if you just do this on the PA3x and then export the file and have fun with it in your external sequencer.

It's really easy to record a song using a Style. I don't have a PA4x but it's probably the same as the PA3x:

Quick Record:

Then, save the midi file onto a Flash drive and that's it. This way you don't have to go through the trouble of syncing and such.

Did you write the song and save it on the USB flash drive? If yes, then just connect the flash drive to the computer and import it into your DAW.

it says the flash drive isn't recognized
then it wants to initialize
which means it will erase all the data right

i hate to be a pain in the neck

any ideas what i might have done wrong

i am using el CAPITAN
but i have YOSEMITE too

thanks so much

I'm just worried about each sound now/ or track midi track 1 2 3 4 so on
drums accompaniement bass acc 1 2 3 4
falling separately

is that going to happen ???

will each sound fall on a separate midi track in GARAGEBAND

i hope so

thanks again

Yes. You basically have a midi file that has all the information on separate tracks. Once you import the file, it will look just like any other midi file that you've worked on before.

As long as your computer is hooked up (midied) properly to the Keyboard, it will sound the same... as if you used the keyboard itself to playback the file.

This might be of some help too, in case if you're still learning your way around menus and pages.
