In the mid-90s (1995, 1996, and 1997) Yamaha produced a number of very excellent XG midi files, which were provided as an XG Midi Library for PSR740 owners. The Yamaha site with this XG Midi library is no longer available on the internet. Thanks to Onacimus Sahayan, however, we can provide you with many of these original XG midi files.

The original file names were quite cryptic. However, the midi file itself often has information about the correct song title, the composer, year, and producer. The "producer" in these files is listed as "Yamaha" or "Yamaha MusicSoft Europe" or "Groveland Road Productions, " a company that produced midi files for Yamaha. There are quite a few composers included, and many of these are renowned for their compostions for movies, tv productions and multimedia. I'm not sure who actually prepared the midi files, but since they are all copyrighted by Yamaha, I've used "Yamaha" as the "performer" for these midi files.

I have renamed these files with the correct song titles and divided them into three sections. The first includes those midi files that are still available for download from Yamaha (in case you've already downloaded these.) The remainder are divided into those where the composer is provided, organized by composer, and the rest, organized by category.

In addition, also thanks to Onacimus who has been able to extract some of the midi songs used as demos on some Yamaha keyboards, we are also providing midi files of those demos. If you want to show off what your keyboard can do, these files may be just what you're looking for.

PSR Keyboard Demos (70 files)

I am sending you a number of Demo songs from the PSR730, PSR740, and PSR550 in MIDI format. I recorded thse in my PSR 3000 by connecting the other PSRs to the PSR3000 by Midi cable. I did some editing and made them sound better in the 3000, TYROS, CVP-3&4 series and S-Series. I am working on PSR1100 and PSR2100 Demo songs. -- Onacimus

Demo500 Sweet Tenor 2, Sweet Trumpet 2, Cool! E. Guitar, Clean Guitar 2, Grand Piano 2
Demo730 Trumpet, RYB, FilmScore, E.Piano, JazzGuitar, Accordion, Rock, GuitarBallad, CountryRock, BossaNova, Techno, Aco.Piano, Trance, W.Waltz, A.Guitar

DEMO540 My Heart Will Go On (Other demos similar to those on the 740).

Below are the PSR-510 demo songs given to me by one of our friends. I have also completed the PSR1000, PSR1100, and PSR2100 demo songs. They are in one zip file, which contains three folders: Voices, Styles, and Other. I have preceded each midi filename with the instrument it was from (1000 or 1100 or 2100). When recording the style demo songs, only Channels 1-8 were transferred from the master to the PSR3000. The styles were recorded using styles in the 3000, either preset or in the user area. The following style demos used the 3000 preset: 8BeatModern2, BigBandFast, Classic PianoBld2, Clubdance, QuickStep, R&BBallad, and SchlagerBeat. 6-8March and ClassicPianoBld1 used the PSR2100 style(moved to the user area in 3000). FunkyFusion used the style from the CVP210; OrchestralMarch from CVP309; PopSamba from Tyros1; and 8BeatModern1 from 1100. These songs are usable only in 3K and later because style demos use Mega voices and the other voices are re-voiced to Sweet, Cool, and Live voices and standard voices in the 3k.

Additional PSR Demos (297 Files)

(December 13, 2022) Thanks to Edward, who collected many original midi files that were obtained from the Yamaha electronic piano rom. Fearing this might be lost on the Internet, Ed has sent them on to the PSR Tutorial. Here are nearly 200 "demo" midi files from various PSR keyboards (PSR-230 (16 midi), PSR-280 (131), PSR-350 (101), PSR-410 (5), PSR-530 (12), PSR-730 (16), PSR-740 (10), and PSS-51 (3)). You can download all of these midi demo files from PSR ROM Demos.zip .
