Here I want too show you two examples of which I recorded on my Genos of what I am talking about in Pt 1 of this topic
regarding replacing your old Yamaha Styles from previous units with the newer ones on SX/Genos units
and how they sound very different instrumentally....
replacing is always a personal choice and not a requirement, and sometimes it is not just intro/endings but thruout variations style parts,multipads,etc,.. also..
but many sound so much better.

1- Older COOL 8Beat style intro/ending

2- Newer Genos COOL 8Beat style intro/ending

Happy Replacing....and good luck.

enjoy

Nice Style and the new does sound a lot better. I found this out on my ancient BK9. Some files I transferred from my G1000 just didn't sound as good as those built into the BK9. Even if I couldn't find the same Style there was always something close enough to use.
Keep enjoying the new board.

Hi Donny,
maybe it’s just me, but to me they both sound great. I’d have difficulty choosing. For me good case for having both, especially if someone uses the style’s actual intro’s and endings. Nothing like mixing it up a bit.

The second (new) one is refreshing – the first one doesn’t sound much different from PSR-S950 (although I can’t compare right now as mine is still away), but I must say that I find the first one more sophisticated, the guitar with its nuances is really “well-thought”, so I can’t say that it’s about an improvement. But due to new drums the second one is impressive in its own way.

Don't get caught up on this one style there are hundreds that have been improved you have to go through the banks and check them all out then compare them to the old ones it's not just the intros and endings it's the style parts in between... sounds... strumming, phrases, vocals, .. Etc.. you have to compare them all..

Hi Donny ,
I did , about 4,000 of them.
I checked by file size first , ie the likely hood of of two styles with the same name, and the same amount of kb’s being different, not likely.
Those I only checked Intro 3 and a couple of variations, just to make sure.

Others I had to check way more thoroughly.

I wouldn’t bother keeping a style just because it might have had a slightly different drum beat in a fill or something, if the overall sound was not useable.

That's great Rikki keep up the good work and you'll find some real goodies in there to play...

Hopefully some will prove useful. I’m all burnt out on style hunting. Haha

Have you started your registration songs OTs yet and play list..

l like both styles too, but there's an added realism on the newer one which is definitely worth changing to. And l agree there are many more newer styles which are better too.

One other thing which some might hopefully find helpful is also to do with certain older styles. When l first switched from Tyros 5, to the Genos l was so engrossed in just enjoying playing the Genos that l was mainly using some registrations that l'd bought for the Tyros. Whilst the sounds etc sounded better than the Tyros, on certain styles there was an annoying faint screech every few bars. The nearest thing l can describe it to, is the fretting sounds on a guitar. Although faint it was distracting and one of those sounds that you can't unhear once you've heard it. The simple remedy was to replace the styles with the newer Genos styles and that solved the problem.

kind regards,

Russ
