Onacimus' Conversions
 

 

You will notice a number of style conversions from one PSR keyboard to another compiled by Onacimus Sayaham. Onacimus has very carefully converted styles so that they closely resemble the sound of the original style on the original keyboard. You will find these style collections on the appropriate keyboard styles page, either PSR740 styles, PSR2000 styles, PSR2100 styles, or PSR3000 styles. Onacimus comments on the methodology used to do the conversions can be found on those pages. A list of the preset styles on each keyboard is found on that keyboard page. For your convenience, however, I have listed the many conversions Onacimus has done on this page.

Overview

I have converted the various PSR model styles for the use with the PSR 3000 changing appropriate voices and volume levels to match the styles on the original keyboard. All the styles are in Default tempos and have one touch settings (OTS). I was able to get the dance styles of previous model styles sounding well now in the 3000 by making note changes and also velocity changes only for ‘Dance Kit’ with the Edit function of the Style creator mode. Because the DanceKit drum sounds and arrangements of 3k are different from the previous models (Models before TYROS).

I made note of Gary Diamond's lesson on EQ settings and made my settings with slight changes of Gary's EQ suggestion for the PSR3000. My EQ values are:

EQ1
EQ2

EQ4

The PSR-3000 Standard Styles Collection

The "standard" collection includes the styles from the old, but great, Yamaha models PSR 9000 9000Pro, PSR2000, PSR2100, PSR1500 and CVP 209/210, which have a lot of Sweet!, Cool! and Live! voices. I have also revoiced some regular voices to use the Sweet, cool and live voices. I have included the PSR1500 styles in this collection because the drum arrangements are similar to the older models, particularly the Dance Kit. This collection of styles, althouh made for PSR3000 users, will also sound good on the TYROS, TYROS2, CVP3&4, and other new models. Because the drum settings, particularly the Dance Kit, are set according to the PSR3000, most of the styles may not sound well in the PSR2000, PSR9000, PSR1500 and earlier models. However, I have made separate collections for the PSR2000 and PSR2100. (see below)

This collection includes 592 style conversions (162 from the PSR9000 or 9000Pro, 194 from the PSR2000/2100, 147 from the CVP209/210, 79 from the PSR1500, and 10 from the PSR-740 floppy disk.)

The PSR-3000 Mega Styles Collection

The Mega style collection tackles the conversion process of styles from later keyboards that contain mega voices (Tyros. Tyros2, PSR-S700/S900, CVP 309, CVP 409). Many of the mega voices are available on the PSR-3000, so these conversions will provide 3000 owners with an excellent expansion of their style libraries. It does take some time to complete these conversions, all of which are individually adjusted by onacimus. For a listing of all styles in each category including the original source of the style, you can view this web page or download an Excel file.

* These XG styles are from my old favorite PSR 1700 and PSR 620. I made these like the 8k conversions using Visual Styler. PSR 1700 has Intro and Ending A & B, but 620 has only B. So I copied A from the 7000 Styles which are similar to each of the 620 styles. All these styles were originally in GM voices. To sound better, I have changed some voices to YAMAHA XG voices. These are usable in PSR3000 but they can also be used in the Tyros, Tyros2, 9000, 2100, 2000, 1500, 1100 & 1000. These styles have Intros B & C, Endings B & C and have 4 Variations.

 

391 Styles for the PSR2000

(Updated on 7/27/07) I made these collections of styles from the PSR9000, PSR2100, PSR1500 and CVP for the benifit of PSR2000 owners. I thoroughly checked the 2k styles and selected various styles with the a similar from the above models, which have no Mega Voices. I selected many styles from PSR 9000 and 9000Pro that are not in the 2k and also slightly different from the 2k styles. I've collected all new 2100 styles (not in 2k) and CVP 210 additional styles and also the new PSR1500 styles. In addition to that, I've added the 740 floppy styles that have four variations and also Break Fill in. I copied the Intros and Endings B to C and filled the missed section (B) from PSR8000. I identify the "source" of these as "90's."

I brought all of these together in one large collection. I made voice changes in tracks as well as in OTS to stantard panel voices acording to the availablity of 2k voices. I also made volume adjustments as needed. Very interestingly, many styles appear as 'Session' and 'Piano Compo' as recomented in 2k1, CVP, and 1500. Finally, I arranged them into 10 categories (plus some BChHold and Metronome styles). -- onacimus

(7/29/07 update) -- I took a copy and checked with all the styles in each original source. I found 12 tempo changes. So I picked those styles and changed to the original tempo values. Also I missed 4 styles that have no risk of Megavoices. Revised and new styles are in this zip file. The zips in the table below have all been updated to reflect these changes. -- onacimus
