Onacimus' Conversions

You may have noticed 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 all of the many conversions Onacimus has done on this page. - Joe Waters]

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:

Setting	EQ1	EQ2	EQ3	EQ4	EQ5
Gain value	5	3	1	5	8
Q (bandwidth)	2.5	1.8	1.8	1.8	1.5
Frequency	500Hz	200Hz	900Hz	2.0kHz	10kHz

This setting is applicable to all of my conversions.

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, although 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 730 style conversions (126 from the PSR-S550, 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.) Download this Excel File for a detailed listing of all the styles in each category and the keyboard from which the style originated.

November, 2009 Update: I have updated my Standard set for PSR 3000 by adding the new S550 styles because these have no Mega voices. The S550 styles have no OTS, so I transferred OTS from the S700 to the appropriate styles. S550 holds a lot of T2 styles. I also added some previous styles because S5 uses a lot of sweet, live, and cool voices and live drum kits (Standard1&2, Brush, Symphony, Cuban and PopLatin kits). Also, S5 uses Cool Bases and Guitars, especially Cool!SlideSteel (DynoSteel1 in 3k) and Cool!SlideClean (Starsphere in 3k) with sliding effects. Finally, I also revoiced some regular voices to sound better in 3k. So, I am sending the entire 11 sets. Please replace the entire sets except Pianist and BCH&Metro folder. I also attached the revised XL file.

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.

PSR-3000 MegaPlus Collection

(27 July 2010) Yamaha changed the basic file format with the Tyros3. This new format is continued in the PSR-S910/S710 keyboards and the CVP509 keyboard. Converting these new styles to a format that can be used in the 3000 is much more difficult. But Onacimus has started on that challenge. He has completed the PopRock and Ballad categories and is currently working on the Dance category. A complete listing of the styles in PopRock and Ballad, and the keyboards they were derived from, is available in this Excel file.

PSR-3000 Mega Plus Style Collection - 62 Styles

Ballad (20) - 7/21/10

Dance (7) - 7/27/10

 

Other Styles for the PSR3000

(Remember, for a discussion of these style sets, refer to the PSR3000 styles page where you can also find these styles sets listed.)

345 CVP210 Styles for the PSR3000 (12/12/09) *

Pop&Rock 31 Styles	Dance 39 Styles	Swing&Jazz 41 Styles	R&B 39 Styles
Country 24 Styles	Latin 35 Styles	World 28 Styles	Piano 35 Styles
Ballad 27 Styles	Ballroom 29 Styles	Movie 17 Styles

* I have converted all CVP 210 styles for 3k and other similar models because models like the 9000, CVP 209, 210 and TYROS1 use lots of live percussion kits. The top ones are Live Standard, Live Funk and Live Brush kit. The same sound of Live Standard kit of the above models are given as StandardKit1 of 3k and later models including the Tyris2. Similarly, LiveFunkKit sounds the same as StandardKit2, LiveBrushKit as BrushKit, and Cuban and PopLatinKit. All these styles sound good in my 3k and should also work well in later models.

239 PSR8000 Styles to PSR3000 (Updated 12/12/09) *

PopRock (40)	RhyBlues (16)	SwingJazz (18)	World (22)	Pianist (7)

* I have updated these styles by revoicing many voices to the Sweet, Live & Cool voices. I also did a lot of leveling and remapping of the drums. This style set should work well on the 3000 as well as the later keyboards (Tyros1,2,3 and PSR-S900, PSR-S910).

* I have already sent PSR9000 styles for the 3k, but this set is different. I revoiced the voices to the standard of PSR 9000PRO with Sweet, Live & Cool voices. I also did some drum leveling and remapping. This set should also work well on later models (TYROS1, 2, 3, S900, and S910).

(3 March 2010) I have completed the PSR730 4-variation styles for the PSR-3000 and later keyboards. In these conversions, I balanced the volume levels, added DSP effects, changed many GM voices to Panel voices (according to the standard of 730) and other XG voices that sound better. I also added OTS (as per each 730 & 530 styles) by taking notes from each keyboard's preset styles. But I changed some similar voices. I used only one extraordinary voice (Sweet Trumpet) in style tracks as well as OTS, because PSR 730 uses Sweet Trumpet. The conversion methodology is similar to the 8000 style conversions. All 112 styles are in 9 categories.

112 PSR730 4V styles for the PSR3000

01-Pop&Rock (17)	02-Ballad (15)	03-Dance (13)	04-Swing&Jazz (11)	05-R&B (11)
06-Country (10)	07-Latin (12)	08-Ballroom (10)	09-World (13)	Full Set (112)

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.

396 Styles for the PSR2000

(Updated on 7/27/07) I made these collections of styles from the PSR9000, PSR2100, PSR1500 and CVP for the benefit 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 standard panel voices according to the availability of 2k voices. I also made volume adjustments as needed. Very interestingly, many styles appear as 'Session' and 'Piano Compo' as recommenced 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. The zips in the table below have all been updated to reflect these changes. -- onacimus
