1) On your PC, make a "review form" (I used Excel) 
that has enough rows and columns to write the style 
address (say C26), style name, your evaluation of
the style and any other information you feel appropriate. 
Also, the form should have blanks at the top to identify 
the SET file name and the manufacturer and keyboard
model from which the SET originated.

2) Print out a stack of blank evaluation forms, get 
yourself a stack of floppies and get ready for some
 long nights.

3) Now, the idea is to load SETs one at a time, 
listen to each style, write down the information 
about the style and your evaluation of the style. 
In 7000+ styles there will likely be hundreds, 
or even thousands, that you hate, or are not your 
type of music, or whatever. If you are like me, 
many SETs will likely contain at least a few "jewels" 
that you want to keep. Mark them accordingly.

4) Now, before you overwrite the floppies with 
new SETs, you need to transfer the styles you 
want to keep into custom SETs that you keep 
on your hard drive or separate floppies. For this, 
you need to create a "blank" or "VOID" SET.

5) Copy the i30 PLOAD SET (the SET that came 
with your i30) to your HD or floppy and rename it 
VOID.SET (or some such).

6) Load this SET into your i30, go to STYLE EDIT 
mode and perform an ERASE STYLE on every style 
from C11 through C68. This clears out the user style 
memory. Now, save this Void SET back to disk and 
keep it as the source file for your "Custom" SETs.

7) Make a copy of your VOID SET and rename 
it ZAH_1.SET (or some such). This will be your 
first custom SET. Load this set into your i30.

8) Insert a floppy that contains styles you want to 
keep. Go to DISK mode, open the SET folder, 
open the .STY folder, open the "BLOCK" folder 
that contains the style you want to keep, select 
the style, then select LOAD from the upper righthand 
\menu, then hit the pop-up menu in the middle of the 
screen and select the destination address, say C11 
the first time around, then hit OK. (this loads your 
first style to address C11).

9) Continue loading styles until you have loaded 
all your favorites from that SET. Remember, you 
must load to the next available address each time, 
or you will overwrite earlier styles that you just loaded. 
(Another point. Each block can hold UP TO 4 styles. 
However, each block is memory limited, so if you 
have 1 or more large styles (memory hogs) in a block, 
that block will hold fewer than 4 styles, maybe as few 
as 1. In this case you will get an "Insufficient Memory" 
message. If so, just continue loading styles in the 
NEXT block).

10) Now, you will want to load the companion 
ARRANGEMENT that goes with each STYLE. 
Back up to the BLOCK folder, back up to the 
STYLE folder, and then select and open the ARR 
folder. Select the ARRANGEMENT that goes with 
the first STYLE you loaded. Select LOAD from the 
upper righthand menu, then hit the pop-up menu in 
the middle of the screen and select the destination 
address that corresponds with the companion 
STYLE, then hit OK. (It is not essential that the 
arrangement AND style be loaded into the same 
address (say C11), but it sure is less confusing in 
the long run. Continue loading arrangements until 
you have all the arrangement/style pairs in your 
custom SET.

11) Now, go to Arranger Mode, select Arrangement C11, 
hit the STYLE select button and select Style C11 
(both arrangement AND style should read the same 
address, C11 in this case, so they are paired up). 
Make any editing changes to the arrangement that 
you want to make the arrangement/style pair sound 
to your liking (programs, volume balance, tempo, 
etc, etc). Now go to the upper righthand menu and 
WRITE ARRANGEMENT. This saves your arrangement 
edits to the i30's INTERNAL memory. Do step 11 
for EACH arrangement/style pair you have loaded.

12) FINALLY, and VERY important. 
SAVE your newly edited custom SET to 
disk, otherwise it will be overwritten the
next time you load a new SET. Now, each 
time you want to add new arrangement/style 
pairs to your custom SET, load your custom 
SET into the i30 and continue adding 
arrangement/style pairs to your SET at the 
NEXT available address. Continue adding 
styles until the user style memory is full, then 
begin with your next SET, say ZAH_2.SET

This description will probably totally confuse 
you because I have not covered minute details. 
If so, respond with additional questions and I'll try again.
