Thank You everyone for the reply's, much appreciated.

Roger M, Thanks, how much US dollars would that be? I have loads of Yamaha styles &
just thought it would be nice to be able to use them on my KN5000.

Mike, Thanks, I have registered on https://technicskeyboard.com/ - the main network website, & I can get in there, but I can't sign into Gunnar Jonny's site, or
Bob Hendershot's KN5000 site. I've tried to register on each site no go it says
invalid user name or password. If I click on NEW MEMBERS - REGISTER HERE it goes to
your site & I'm already registered there, but still can't sign into those other sites

Thank You Again
Denny

Hi Denny,

When you log in at https://technicskeyboard.com/ you see a different home page than non-members. On that home page, when you are logged in, you will see a "Legacy Connection" button. Click that and follow the instructions to gain access to the legacy websites. These legacy sites will disappear in due course because I'm moving everything into the new system. I've left them live for now because having turned them off everyone missed them smile

Here's the link to EMC Styleworks Universal - http://www.emc-musicsoftware.com/Style-Works-XT/en

349 euros is about 379 US dollars at the moment. I have two or three licenses I'm not sure because I have also bought it for members who have assisted with Style conversions over the years and I can't remember how many.

There is a Technics-only version at 200 euros (around 219 dollars). However, I started off with this version and it didn't have all the Technics features I wanted so I upgraded to the Universal version. My use-case is unusual of course so it might be fine for you. - http://www.emc-musicsoftware.com/epages/...stwxt_0001-0005

Those dollar values will vary and are in fact slightly lower because I rounded them up. I'm in UK so we're in pounds here.

Best wishes,
Mike

PS when using Styleworks be prepared to spend about 30 minutes to an hour working on each Style you convert to tweak it nicely, once you learn how to use it. As with any software it also takes some spent learning to understand all the features. Don't expect the converted Style to immediately sound amazing, which is what I naively thought when I got my first license smile Klaus's software is excellent but it has its quirks, and they vary depending which model of each brand you are converting from. Originally, I understand that the software originated on Acorn computers and Klaus developed it next on PC (dos version I think), and has updated it extensively for each release of Windows for many years which is no mean feat!

Hi Denny.

As Roger offer, maybe I can help to quick convert some files too, if I knew what files you're aiming at.
But again, not all, even Yamahas, specially the last models, are not as good to convert as older ones.
Name a couple, and we'll give it a try.

Hi Denny,

Thanks for pointing this error out. It seems to have happened after a software upgrade a few days ago. I'll have it fixed shortly and let you know.

Thanks,
Mike

Guys,

What I do in this case is to use Jørgen Sørensen's Yamaha software:

http://www.jososoft.dk/yamaha/software.htm

Or Midisoft's software:

https://www.midisoft.pl/en/

to work on the Yamaha files and take them back to a more compatible Yamaha model before converting to Technics with Styleworks, and tweaking to finalise.

Kind regards,
Mike

Denny, just to do a test I did quick batch convert T4 Ballroom and Country folders to KN5k.
I have no KN to try, and have no clou about how it sounds, this is just to see if it works at all, and if it sounds as much as it is worth spend time at.
Good luck.

Hi Denny,

I've resolved that for your account now. I really appreciate you pointing that out because it revealed a small issue which will make things easier for everyone (fixing that one now). Next, you have to complete the Legacy Connection on the home page when you're logged in. Then you'll be able to download from Gunnar's site. It will all get easier soon!.

Many thanks,
Mike

Gunnar Jonny Thanks so much for the styles, some of them work good,
others not so much. I found out that I can't change instruments of a style
from the disk, or from the custom area of the rhythm section. The only styles
that can be changed on the KN5000 are those in the preset section.
Again Thank You for your help.
Denny
