Brian Miles converted many style files from the Technics KN-5000 keyboard. Unfortunately, the conversion software set all the tempos and volumes the same. Working with Brian's initial conversions, I adjusted almost 200 Technics styles for use on the Yamaha PSR keyboards. Based on tables from some Technics owners, I tried to set the right tempo and name of each style and also adjusted the accompaniment volumes for a better balance. There are no OTS added to these conversions so they can be used with any PSR keyboard. These converted styles are provided at the bottom of this page in six zip files (KNDisk1 - KNDisk6).  See the table below for the contents of each zip file. Click on the file links to download the zip file. You will, of course, have to unzip the file to get to the style files. 

While the styles in the KNDisk sets do not have OTS added, I and other volunteers added OTS and tuned these files specifically for the PSR-2000. In the tables right below, you'll find 20 styles from Larry Levin, 20 styles from me (Joe Waters), and 117 styles from Charley.

Joe's Conversions (with OTS)

Originally, I released these in two zip files of 10 styles each. Further tuning of the KN styles was interrupted in favor of tuning up more of the Yamaha-based styles. I'm not sure when I'll ever get back to working on more of these. I have added a "K" in the style name to indicate the original source of these files and an "o" to indicate that one-touch settings have been added.

Charley's Conversions for the PSR-2000

(7/20/03)  Charley [rattley] has been a busy beaver and has sent in four volumes with a total of 117 KN-5000 styles tuned to Charley's PSR-2000 complete with OTS.  I've only sampled a few, but they were great.  I'm looking forward to having the time to try more out.

Joe's Conversions (without OTS -- 180 STYLES)

Note: the disk sets below do not include styles grouped into any specific genre.  Styles were converted one-by-one and the conversions released 30-to-a-disk as they became available.  Not all the Technics styles could be converted for the PSR.  Some were simply too large to fit into the PSR-2000.  But most of the problems were encountered when the accompaniment voices seemed to clash with the chords being played.  This may be due to features available in the KN-5000 that aren't recognized by the PSR models.  In any case, those problem styles were just skipped.  I may not have caught them all; you may still find a style in these sets that doesn't seem to sound right.  If so, just delete it.  Most of these styles, you will find, sound just great on the PSR-2000.
