As most of you probably know, I'm seriously considering upgrading (from my current arranger: Yamaha PSR2000) to either the Ketron XD9 or Yamaha Tyros keyboard.

I'm curious how successful converted Yamaha PSR2000 and Technics KN5000 format styles will sound on the Ketron XD9. Does Ketron provide style conversion software, or do I need to use EMC's Styleworks Universal? My version of EMC Styleworks Universal only supports converting my Yamaha & Technics styles to Ketron X1 format. Will X1 format styles load & play on the XD9, and how good similar to the original style will these coverted to X1 format styles sound on the Ketron XD9?

Thanks in advance for all feedback,

Scott

Scott,
both the XD9 and the SD1 read styles in X1 format, without problems.
I am glad that you are considering the XD9 as your next keyboard; it was high time to get finally a REAL keyboard, after the Technics KN 5000 and the PSR 2000...

Okay: before all Technics and Yamaha devotees jump down to my throat, I AM JUST JOKING (the mood on this Board is kind of depressing, these last few days...)
Cheer up!

All the roland and yamaha styles sound good on the xd9 . You may have to do some tweaking , but all and all the styles work flawlessly ! dano

Scott,

I'm loving my XD9 big time! Just convert all styles to X1 format with EMC and the XD9 will read them without a problem. As Dan said some minor tweaking here and there should make you very happy if needed. Otherwise it's Two Thumbs UP!! For the XD9 !!!

Good to hear Donny !

Donny,

Where and how can I obtain the EMC Styleworks for converting styles to the XD9... and how do those converted styles compare with the XD9 styles?

Thanks,

Glenn

Glenn,
This will take you to a link for EMC: http://www.synthzone.com/midiaccomp.htm

Hey there Andrea,

Next time you come over here we are going to feed you cow instead of fish.
Now my question is have you got your Tyros yet?

Okay,
before I get banned forever from this Board: I swear not to make a joke ANYmore on ANY board!
(Does it count if I have my fingers crossed?)
Andrea

Good to hear that Yamaha & Technics styles convert well to Ketron format.



Don't forget to add LOTs of GARLIC !

Andrea,
LOL.... we'll give you a pass this time....only because you're a Dr......so we can't expect too much you know. You're not a proctologist by any chance are you?

Terry, I don't know if I am going to disappoint you, but definitely I am NOT a proctologist.

...Scott, how was the name of that place? Gilroy? Guess it could be the last place in the world where I would eventually move... yuk!

I have never seen an Italian, Sicilian, Calabrase or ? that didn't like garlic. I think Andrea must have been imported to Italy

How do you know when a proctologist is in a Piano Store ?


They always look under and behind the piano ! dano

The general surgeon says:
"Garlic may be good for your health, but is VERY dangerous for your social life!"

Dan,
they don't look just behind a piano; be sure to be seated on a stool all the time if a proctologist comes to your store.
