I don't have anykind of hookup at present between my CP & 2K board. Can I down load styles to a floppy on the CP & transfer them to the PSR 2K, or is the format wrong?
I find the 2000 a great board. But I like Country & Southern Gospel. I find I need alot more country rythm's especily
2/4 & 3/4 .
Hey DonM your country if you read this maybe you could recomend some Styles.
I don't know if the 9000 & 9000pro has some
country styls thats not on the 2000?
If any you guys can help it would be great.
Enjoying my 2000!

Nobby,
I'm actually finding that the 2000 has quite a lot of usable CW styles. Sometimes they are not in the expected location.
For example "Jive", the last style on page 2 of the Ballroom styles, when slowed down to about 120 bpm, is an excellent Country shuffle with walking bass.
There are two Bluegrass Styles hidden under March and Waltzes.
Don't forget that some of the styles sound quite different when you mute certain parts, or change voices and save to Registration Memory.
I'll look around to see if I have any styles I think are better than the factory ones though.

Nobby,

I have already used several of the styles from other Yamaha boards and converted styles from other manufacturers that I have downloaded from Bob Gelman's PSR styles site. in the PSR 2000. They can be played directly from floppy disk too, without having to load them. The 740 styles sound exactly as they did in the 740 without any tweaking required. The non Yamaha styles require some tweaking to suit me, but they can be tweaked nicely on the 2000 and they play just fine. as long as the Casm sections and markers are correct, any properly made sff styles will play on it. There are even tools available to tweak existing styles, convert midifiles to styles, and / or fix styles that don't play properly available on the SVP World site too.

Don,
I really like that Jive style too. I can think of uses for it myself other than ballroom music.

Are there any tools I might not know about to fix styles?

Larry Levin

In XG works, you can use any properly made styles and step record the chord, style variation, etc. For some reason some of the converted styles from Bob gelman's site are missing a Sysex code..It's a 6# double digit code and off the top of my head I can't remember what it is or where to find it, and rocket scientist that I am, I didn't write it down anywhere. Anyway, sometimes ( but not always for whatever reason ) the styles that don't have it will still play in
the PSR 740 or 2000, but they will not work in XG works. I use the CASM edit program to rework the style. I simply sent it to the CASM edit program, added the CASM section again, saved it again as a style and automatically the sysex numbers were added to it. I downloaded the program from Jorgen Sorensen's unofficial PSR Resource site if I remember correctly. Michael P Bedesem also has a program called "style fix" as well that can be accessed from Jorgen's site.
