For PSR users,
Once again there are new free styles added to the SVPworld website. The latest are ;
(a) "Cool Swank" - A nice guitar reggae style with a swinging feel
(b) "Bows & Ivory" - Beautiful and inspiring grand piano and string accompaniment
These styles feature 8 measures in each of the 4 main parts for extra variation, 4 measure introductions and of course 2 endings, simple and full. For those of you who aren't able to directly access the 4 main parts and both intros/endings, there are also variation versions of each style (preceded by a _ ) which enable you to enjoy these extra bits!

http://www.svpworld.com/svpstyles.htm This month some exciting news of the latest PSR1000 and 2000 keyboards from Yamaha. These are possibly due for release this October and are radical new designs, taking many features from the top of line PSR9000 keyboard. Although very little information has been released on these models, I have put together some preliminary reviews at SVPworld to wet your appetites! You can find these articles on the main PSR keyboard page, click on the thumbnail images of each model to find out more.
http://svpworld.com/psr_menu.htm "A Portion of Paradise", released by Randy Gilliam
==================================================
An instrumental album full of variety and fun, enticing and inspiring compositions varying from relaxed ballads to catchy fresh pop melodies. Combining sophisticated multi-tracking with well chosen styles, its may be surprising to learn that this album was produced entirely on a Yamaha PSR540! A wonderful variety of musical styles, ranging from modern ballads through to classic piano and smooth latin flavours. The CD has been professionally mastered and produced on the Gilliamusic label. Highly recommended, and a true "Must Have" for Yamaha PSR owners or anyone contemplating this keyboard!

http://svpworld.com/cd_paradise.htm Style templates from Yuri Markov
================================
If you have attempted creating styles of your own, you might have found it frustrating that the PSR keyboards offer very little in the way of choice of time signature and length of sections, especially the PSR540, 640 and 740 and similar sub 8000 machines. Well thanks to Yuri Markov, you can now load these templates and create styles with up to 4 bars intros and endings, and 8 bar main sections. There are also a variety of templates offered in 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 7/4, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8 and 9/8. Let us know if there's any other time signatures you would like to see added.
These are NOT completed styles, but are building blocks for style creators to build new styles in unusual time signatures. Once again many thanks to Yuri Markov for designing these templates.
