Loading i-Series data
Pa500 is compatible with the Styles of the older i-Series instru-
ments. You can load them as if they were ordinary Pa500 data.
1. Copy the old i-Series data into a card, and insert the card
into the card drive of the Pa500.
2. Press MEDIA to go to the Media mode. Select the Load
page if needed.
3. While in the Load page, select the device containing the i-
Series data from the Device pop-up menu.
4. If you are reading an i30 file, select the ".SET" folder and
press the Open button in the display.
5. Select the ".STY" folder.
6. At this point, you can load the whole ".STY" folder, or open
it and select a single Style.
• To load the whole folder, press the Load button in the dis-
play. If it contains more than 16 Styles, they will be loaded
into the USER banks sequentially, otherwise you will be
prompted to select one of the two USER Style banks in
memory. Once the target bank is selected, press Load to
load the bank. The "Are you sure?" message will appear.
Press OK to confirm, or Cancel to abort.
• To load a single Style, press Open in the display to open
the ".STY" folder. Since a conversion will be started at this
point, please wait some seconds for the operation to be
completed.
Select the Style to load, then press Load. You will be
prompted to select a target location in memory. Once the
target location is selected, press Load to load the Style. The
"Are you sure?" message will appear. Press OK to confirm,
or Cancel to abort.
Note: Loading a whole ".SET" folder from an i30 file may take
very long. You are advised to load a single bank or a single
Style a time.
7. Go to the Style Play mode, and select (one of) the loaded
Style. Adjust the Tempo, then select the "Write Current
Style Performance" to write changes to the Style Perfor-
mance. Press OK twice to confirm.
8. Due to the difference in Sounds, you will probably want to
make some adjustments to the old Styles, once they are
loaded in Pa500 (changing the Sound, Volume, Pan,
Tempo, Drum Mapping, Wrap Around...).
9. To make the Sound assignment to the Style tracks effective,
be sure the "Original Style Sounds" parameter is not
checked (see page 83).
10. Save the Style Performance again. Select the "Write Current
Style Performance" to write changes to the Style Perfor-
mance. Press OK to confirm.
