Yamaha Keyboard Style File
While there have been a series of Yamaha keyboards produced, they have ALL included a basic set of 480 XG and GM voices. These voices are used in creating the styles for many of the keyboards. It is for this reason that one can take a style that was available on the PSR8000 and play it in the PSR740 or the PSR2000 or the Tyros5.
Style Fixer is a software program for repairing erroneous YAMAHA Keyboard style files. This program will check erroneous Yamaha keyboard style files and repair a number of common errors.
Not repairable style files will be listed and allow the user to delete these files or to move or copy these files to user selected folders. If the CASM section is missing the program can add a default CASM section (if this default can be successfully used). The program is a stand alone program which can:.
check and repair a single style file. check and repair a folder (and its subfolders) of style files. check and repair style files listed in a CSV file created with the 'Export Style Data to CSV File' function in the Application. check and repair style files listed in a text file with one file name (incl. Full path) per line. C: mystyles mystyle.sty C: testfolder teststyle.sty.etc. Style Fixer is developed to repair Yamaha keyboard style files.
Many of these style files for download at various sites suffer from a number of errors which makes them impossible to load in a keyboard or impossible to edit in a sequencer software. Other styles have errors in some parts only but this makes these styles impossible to use. Style Fixer will automatically repair more than 95% of style files which have errors (check the 'Errors' column in the PSR Style Database application) and will list the remaining less than 5% of style files which may not be style files at all or are so damaged that automatic repair is impossible. Version Date Changes 1.24 2017-12-26 Support for 'scp' style file extension. 1.23 2017-11-26 Support for the hidden style parts: Intro D and Ending D.
