This has probably been asked before (possibly by me.....):

Current workflow involves writing some midi clips and then finding a very convoluted method of recording them to User Styles on the QY, which I then use to mess around with Chord templates, re-instrumentalizing etc.

When it works, it works. When it doesn't my mind starts to wonder if there isn't a simpler way of composing styles and patterns and passing them as .Q1P files via the card.

Any thoughts for a mac user? Alternatively I could break down and try and recreate an old windows rig but that also seems like the 'long way around' (still i would be interested if anyone is using ANY software to compose styles and patterns for the QY's).

Thanks in advance.

isn't a Style a midi file with markers to separate the different sections? can't remember exactly how this works.

i was looking at - i think... - CASMedit, or something like that. CASM referring to this method of concatenating the sections' midi data into a single file.
at the time i looked at various bits of freeware for this (am on Windows, so not sure if there were Mac versions), and most of them did not look much fun, considering that it's actually quite a simple principle.

the complication is that there are loads of different 'style' types, for loads of different machines and manufacturers. we just want the type with 6 sections, Intro, MainA, MainB, FillAB, FillBA, Ending. (compare this with the RM1x, which has 16 sections in its Style format. more useful, have always wished the QYs could have a more conventional 'pattern' mode.)

seem to remember that one program did have a more 'graphic' interface. it had some limitations though, was a bit quirky.
and then the one that looked most promising, functionally, as a freeware, actually looked more like a spreadsheet, so not very inspiring.

would be nice to have something simple and quick, with an easy graphic UI, maybe with a verification process, to let the user really exploit card-loading, and all the user style sections available. ie: make it easier to get a bunch of midi files, from computer, into playable form in QY memory. (the RM1x, for example, can handle *.mid files directly, i think, via the floppy drive.)
