Brian Miles has been converting styles for quite some time. Brian, who has Technics keyboards as well as the PSR-9000 and the PSR-S900, has provided us with many style conversions for use with PSR keyboards.
(Nov 9, 2023) I have purchased a PSR-EW400 as I wanted a lighter keyboard that I could use on my lap. As a result I have dug out my old XP computer, which has all the original Bedesem programs and, more importantly, EMC styleworks making conversion from 4 to 2 variations relatively easy. So far I have completed the Ballad styles, using intros B and C, and variations B and D. I have tried most of them on my e series keyboard and they sound good. There are a few that, even after removing 2 variations and A intro and ending, are still over 50 kb.
(Jun 2017) I had some time available so I went ahead and converted the Tyros5 styles to SFF1 format. These should work on Tyros1 and Tyros2 as well as mid-range keyboards PSR-S900 and earlier. --Brian
(Mar 2017) I've recently converted styles from the CVP709 to play on the PSR-S670 for a friend, replacing the missing style voices using M Bedesems new program. The majority sound good to very good although they are a very few that do not. I have not got around to working on the OTS yet, so you will have to add that yourself. Although these styles were specifically revoiced for the S670, they should also work on the PSR-S770 and PSR-S970. To facilitate downloading, they are provided in 5 zip files.
(Oct 2012) Brian has sent in an additional three sets of style conversions that he did for the Tyros. These are in SFF1 format and should work on all the Yamaha keyboards. The first two sets are from the Roland BK7M. There first set does not have OTS while the second set does have the OTS added. The third set is a conversion of the Korg PA3x Internal styles. You will have to add the OTS voices for this set as well.
I have added OTS to the first Roland set using my Tyros4. Therefore, these "tuned" styles are in SFF2 format. They should work on the T3/T4/T5/S910/S950/S970. There are in the BK7M-T4-JW.zip file. - JW
The conversions listed here were all done for use on the PSR-9000. Since I'm sure there are still a number of 9000 owners out there, the original 9000 conversions are provided below. You can use Michael Bedesem's Midiplayer program to convert them to a different target instrument. Generally, the 9000 styles will have a relatively heavy bass when loaded on later PSR keyboards.
PSR Styles with Solos #1 Each of the styles in this file has an accompanying "solo" style, e.g. Big Band.sty and Big Band Solo.sty.(12_8 Ballad, Big Band, Big Band2, Blues, BluesBluG, Coun Ballad2, Coun Rock, Coun Waltz, Coun SRk, Ethnic Waltz, Honky Piano, Jazz Combo, Meringue, Modern Guitar, Musical Ballad, Orchestral, Pop Ballad, Samba, Steamboat Dix)
(Jan 2009) Brian has converted the Tyros3 styles for use on his PSR9000. The Bass volume has been increased on all the styles, most now play with a more satisfactory bass line. Note that the Ballads and Pop&Rock categories have been updated and replace the earlier versions that were posted here.
(Apr 2009) Brian has converted a number of Tyros3 and PA80 styles for a friend who has a PSR2100 and also generously sent them into the PSR Tutorial. These should also play well on other PSR keyboards.
I've recently reviewed some new style collections available from Brian (or his forum) and extracted any styles that duplicated styles already posted elsewhere on this site. There are an additional 343 styles provided here. I have divided them into three zip files. One has conversions that do not have OTS added to the style. The other two have OTS; one for K6 & K7 styles and one a mixed bag of styles.
It will play midi files (and MP3 files), and it will generate drums, bass and up to 6 further backing parts in a number of styles, which can also be downloaded or created yourself (requires computer, though). There aren't many Jazz styles, though - it seems to be full of repulsive "Euro-Disco" beats (the word "schlager" appears in the name of a lot of styles).
