Hi Fran,

I've downloaded the zip file but it's just pdf documents!? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.

Danny after I zipped it .. the styles were gone.. The old Korgs had sets that included I think four styles at a time.. here are the styles that are in the convert folder..

Hi Fran,

This is great, thank you very much indeed, I am surprised it sounds faithfully close to as I remember it even without any tweaks yet, and when I get some time over the next couple days I will certainly tweak that style. And also very nice of you to add a few more as well in the banks

Thank you again Fran.

I still remember my Korg i3 arranger I bought after my M1 synth
which was way ahead of it's time ...
the 4/4 ballad style was my favorite..

Hey Donny...

I have heard a lot of good things about the i3, some have even suggested it was preferred over the i30 itself! Unfortunately for me I never got to experience a few of the previous TOTL arrangers of the time as I couldn't afford them being a trainee on a trainee's wage.

I wonder if I search youtube if there's any i3's on show, I'd love to hear how one sounds.

wow! these styles actually make my pa600 sound better untweaked. brings back the good sounding styles of my ol i5s and i30. nice find. these are very useable as i remember them.
thanks.
ive always had a issue with how my pa600 just didnt have the fullness as my little i5s had and i30. these styles proved to me that its the newer styles in the pa600 that sounded digitally to me. maybe its just these old ears.

Indeed.. And you should hear how the PSR8000 & PSR9000 styles sound like on the T4 onwards.... a lot of what I play are styles from those keyboards too..

Retro styles on newer hardware, is the way to go !

PSR 8000 was WAY ahead of it's time. But didn't the styles have only two variations?
It is neat how the Groove thing works; take a style and apply it and you get a whole new style.

You should hear them on the E-A7

Yes only two variations but what I liked was that Var A and Var B were significantly different enough from each other.

Incidentally didn't Yamaha have 4 variations in the keyboards previous to the PSR 8000 such as in the PSR-5700 & PSR6000? I've only ever seen pictures of those so I may be wrong, but it looked like 4 vars.

Another featured I liked about the 8K was the Virtual Arranger, added that extra attractiveness to the styles especially the ballads.
