StylePlayer Thanks for the reply. I managed to download a style of a real song title with my usual method: on computer and transfer to USB key. For me it is the most efficient method rather than using a USB cable and connecting the keyboard!
I have plenty of real styles of artists that I could share, but I do not know the procedure.
I would like to get the detailed method.
Thanks.

PS : I have to translate from French to English, having the answer in French would save me from having to go through Google translation!

      Dion Schleepen I made an introduction video that goes over how to download styles and how to upload styles (sorry I assumed everyone watched it which is probably not the case): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7yDEOR4KzY

      And thank you for putting extra effort into using the google translator, please lets try to keep it to English for everyones convenience, otherwise we all would have to use google translate to read each other messages.

        Hello
        I see that the fules tranferred to my sx 900 but where find i this files????
        gr joop

          John Finney You should see them in the "user" section of your styles. If you have an USB stick inserted into the keyboard it might interfere with it, that's one issue I still need to iron out.

            Hey everyone!
            I have a SX900 instrument
            I watched the tutorial video.
            I tested this site.
            Big respect to the author! Everything is Super!
            But then I saw that after loading styles into the synthesizer, the styles cannot be played. If I manually load the styles onto the flash drive, then everything is fine with the styles. Probably some kind of Bug in the software. If you are interested in which specific styles do not work on the synthesizer, I can tell you later.
            I have several questions!
            In the future, will it be possible to load styles from the computer into the synthesizer? It would be very convenient!
            And more!
            I use the software: Style Magic, Mix Master.
            Therefore, if the Author creates his own software for creating and editing styles. I will be very grateful!
            Thank you very much for this content!
            This is a very useful site!

              Xavier PRUYS Hi Xavier, hm interesting. Yes if you can please list what styles failed to load via a cable so I can test it. Were you able to get any style loaded at all, or they all failed?

              Regarding loading styles from a computer directly, yeah it would be useful to have, I will try to get to it at some point.

              Thank you.

                  StylePlayer Hi, Style Player! (Sorry, I don't know your name)
                  Thank you for your quick reply.
                  All styles are loaded into the synthesizer!!!
                  But not all are played.
                  The synthesizer opens a window: "Data has not been loaded properly"
                  Here, for example, are these 3 styles:
                  90sEuroReggae.547.sst
                  EuroTrance.551.prs
                  SwingSoul.Т552.prs

                  I later copied these styles from the synthesizer to the computer.
                  I saw that the style extension was specified as ".sty"
                  Is this another error?
                  Thank you!

                      Xavier PRUYS Great, thanks for the extra details. I think I was able to fix the problem, the transfer for those files should work now.

                      I also changed it to keep the original extension during transfers. I was setting it to "sty" to increase the compatibility with older keyboards, but I am not sure how effective it is, it's probably doing more harm by breeding same files with different extensions. Let's see first if we stumble upon a keyboard where non-sty extensions are causing problems that needs this measure.

                      If anyone else stumbles upon any problems with file transfers don't hesitate to report them, the faster we identify the problems the faster we iron them out.

                      I am also really curious on which keyboards it works, so far I am only aware of successful transfers on Genos and PSR, but I expect it to work on everything going back to Tyros3 at least. So if you have older/more exotic models and it works please let me know too.

                      Thanks!

                          Hi there,

                          just wanted to report my results, using a SX600 via USB and YAMAHA Steinberg USB Driver 2.7.1 + Win 11: Works like a charme! The only tricky part was the refresh of the website after allowing for access to control my midi devices.

                          First I did not, then it threw an error, but after refresh the instant transfer worked flawlessly. Perhaps this site refresh can be automated after clicking on the grant access button?

                          I also like that the style was transferred into my root folder of my USB stick connected to my keyboard. From there I can put it wherever I want.

                          Thanks very much for your effort, StylePlayer!

                            Xavier PRUYS
                            Hello everyone. I am writing to you with the Google translation, sorry if there are any mistakes.
                            I am giving you some information about Yamaha style formats. It is very long to read, but I hope it will be useful. To put it simply, the STY format, in principle, works on all Yamaha arrangers (Genos, Tyros, PSR).
                            Here are the detailed explanations... enjoy reading!
                            Information about Yamaha files:

                            Style files - sty, pst, pcs, sst, prs, bcs, fps, scp, aus

                            Styles are the main component of music reproduction in arranger keyboards.
                            Style files contain MIDI data and some non-MIDI data.
                            NB: "aus" styles are audio styles.

                            A few years ago, style files always had a sty file extension. Now, a number of file extensions are used: pst (pianist); pieces (piano combo); sst (session); prs(pro); bcs (basic); fps (free play); and scp(dj style).

                            In addition to the built-in styles, additional style files can be loaded into most models. But due to some changes in the style file format over the years, styles may need to be converted to be used in smaller/older models.

                            Yamaha Expansion Packs (YEP) - yes, ppi, ppf, cpi, cpf

                            A Yamaha Expansion Pack is a package that adds more content (voices and styles) to the keyboard.
                            The voices and styles are merged into one file, having a yep or ppi extension.

                            Some YEPs also contain registrations and/or multipads. This data is not included in the "yep/ppi" file.
                            Have a nice day
                            Tatayet

                                StylePlayer Hi!
                                I wanted to point out that in principle, all styles in STY format should work on all Tyros 2 to 5, Genos and PSR. I published styles in STY format, they worked on Tyros 2, on my Tyros 4, no problem. Sometimes an intro or the ending is missing but it works perfectly.
                                So I think that STY format is the most standard, the most compatible.

                                  Hum, sorry, but I think there are a bug in the messaging system. I'm Xavier PRUYS, but I just joined the community 2 days ago and I never posted anything yet 😅. I've a PSR Sx700, and it's not me that post theses messages and reply

                                  Thanks.

                                    Congratulations! You have done an absolutely fantastic job. I'm a software developer myself, so I can well imagine how much work you had to do. I'm currently developing a Windows program myself that I can use to control my GENOS remotely. So far I can start styles, voices and multipads via PC on the keyboard. However, in order to automate the registrations, I have to transfer the files to the PC via USB. I would therefore be very interested to know how I can read and write from the PC using a USB connection.
                                    Best regards
                                    Andreas

                                      StylePlayer hi my name is Keith I have a genos can you tell me how to conect .styleplayer to my genos. And where do they go when transfers into my genos many thanks hope you can help.

                                          Hi Styleplayer,

                                          First of all. Thank you for this great website.

                                          I own a Tyros 3 for about 2 years now. The driver i use has version 3.1.4.0. My keyboard is properly recognized (Digital Workstation-1 for both midi input and output).
                                          When I press the "Instant Transfer" button it becomes "Greyed Out" and nothing else happens.
                                          What could be the cause of this?

                                          Kind regards from,

                                          Andries Hendriks (from the Netherlands)

                                            FabiOh I also like that the style was transferred into my root folder of my USB stick connected to my keyboard. From there I can put it wherever I want.

                                            Uh oh this is actually an unexpected behavior that was reported before. I am writing files to disk "0" expecting it to be the "user" disk, but on some keyboards looks like it is an USB disk. I need to look into it some more or allow users to select what disk to write into.

                                            Thanks for the feedback.

                                              Estudiar Apuntes Hi Keith. You need to install an USB driver, go to the style download page and accept the permission dialog that pops up, and then it should work. If this sounds too confusing you can just downlod styles manually as you normally would. I think I need to make a video tutorial about this as I get lots of similar questions.
