I was wondering how much difference there is between the CVP 209 styles and the 207.
If anyone knows...

Scott, I agree. I have only about a dozen style that I use in addition to the internal styles. I use 5 or 6 pretty often, the rest very infrequently.

Another point I want make in support of maximizing the use of the internal styles already in your KB, is that the number of styles available on most current arrangers today, probably far outnumber the style possiblities which any 'one' rhythm section musician you might hire to play your gig could play. A 'live' rhythm section might use the same (or similar grooves) to cover a range of tunes. I primarily only use custom styles to fill in for the weaker styles on a specific arranger board. - Scott

Dennis,

the 209 contains all off the styles from the 207, and some additional ones.
Details you could find out downloading the user manual from the CVP207/209. It#s on the Yamaha web site.

Scott Wrote in a post above:
"On the Subject of collecting MORE styles: Other than about 10 jazz & latin styles I imported from the Technics KN5000, and customized to included bass & drum (brush) patterns parts only"
Scott,
How did you do this? I have some excellent styles in the 6000 I would like to have in the 9000. You mentioned it when you were here but only briefly touched on the subject, as we were busy jamming. Kindly let me know how to do this and thank you
Best to you

Hi Bebop,

I used 'EMC Styleworks' to convert my fav KN5000 styles to PSR format. I'm not sure if the 'latest version ' of EMC Styleworks supports converting KN6000 format styles to PSR format (yet). Does anyone else here know?

Hi Scott and all,

I use actually quite a few external styles, to give my music more variety, so I don't have to use the same style maybe 10 times.
Plus some of the styles in the Psr-2000 are quite a bit better than the 9000.

I do agree with Scott a 100% that the styles should be enhancing our performances. If they are to busy, it is almost as if they are performing solo.

Variety in music is one of the main things I like. I like to sound different all the time. I can do that with the style collection that I have now.

Yup - that's why it's important to never let the style be the predominant part of the arrangement. Make the "spice" come from what you do with the "live" voices - it'll be so much more fun for you, and interresting for the listener.

Hi Bebop,
You have e-mail.

Hi everyone,
Scotty spoke of a few costume styles in the
User Area.
I find that the 2000 is lacking in a good assortment of 3/4 rhythms! So I have several
Waltz Styles of different types & several Country rhythms in there also!
I ask for some 3/4 Styles and a very good friend loaded me up with them. I have 3 or 4 floppy's of them!
All the Best,
Nobby
