The style conversion function is a unique feature which enable
the Z1000 to play the style data made not only for Kawai's other
instruments, but for many other manufacturers' keyboards as
well. The Style Convert Software was developed for the personal
computers by EMC Software company, which has been the recent
leader in this type of technology. In collaboration with EMC,
Kawai has made it possible to run this software on the Z1000.
When the Style Convert Software is installed, the Z1000 becomes
capable of reading many style data disks currently available on
the market and converting them into Kawai's data format
without losing musical quality. The converted style data may be
edited and stored as the Z1000's own style data. With this
feature, you can expand your library of style data. Please read
