Additional Styles for Your Yamaha!
All "Arranger Keyboards" include styles that
the performer can use while playing the keyboard. The styles
are generally keyboard specific, that is, a style in a Roland keyboard
was designed for that keyboard and will sound best when played in
that keyboard. But there can be, nonetheless, some exchange
of styles between keyboards. Yamaha styles are, more or less,
interchangeable among Yamaha keyboards. But we can go further
than that. You can find software on the market that will read
a style file from one keyboard and convert it to an appropriate
format for a keyboard of a different manufacturer. The conversion
is NOT perfect. I have seen some "conversions" where
all the accompaniment voice volumes were set to the same level and
all the styles were given a default tempo of 120. The resulting
"converted" styles do not sound much like the originals. But
the resulting conversions can be "tuned" to another instrument,
that is, the volume of each accompaniment voice adjusted to achieve
the right balance between voices. In many cases voices need to be
replaced with more suitable voices from the PSR and, finally, the
tempos are adjusted to an appropriate pace for each style.
That's what you will find in the "manufacturer"
pages of this section. I have "tuned" many of the styles in
this section, but other PSR enthusiasts, as you'll see below, have
contributed hundreds of additional styles. You'll find styles from
the Technics Technics KN-5000
and even the latest KN-7000.
The Roland styles are from the G-1000
and the VA7. Bluezplayer (AJ)
has tuned a number of styles from the Korg
PA-80. Additional Korg conversions
have been provided by BMK, Tom G, Roger
Z, and Eileen Lowrey. ndl added OTS to all of the OHenry
conversions to make a complete set of Korg styles. "ndl"
also sent in his complete set of the Roland VA7 conversions. Thanks
to Charley for the many conversions from the Ketron
SD1 .
