I'm thinking of replacing my ancient Yamaha keyboard with a PSR-S910. I've read through the 910 user and reference manuals but I can't find anything about adding styles from the internet. I'm guessing that the process is something like this:

1) Install a USB storage device on the PSR.
2) Connect the PSR to the internet.
3) Download styles.
4) Copy the styles over to the appropriate style preset category (or do they have to go into the USER style category)?

I assume that the styles are now stored in internal non-volatile memory, right?

Is that how it works? Or can the styles be downloaded directly into style storage? How many new styles can one add on the PSR-S910?

I hope this is the right forum for this question. If not, please let me know where I should submit it, thanks.

TIA, - David

Just Curious. What ancient Yamaha keyboard do you have?

Actually, David, this forum is much better if you've got Yamaha questions.

Registration is free, and there's a wealth of information available to you.

BTW...your downloading process is correct, except for the last part...you must save the style in the user section of the S910, or you can leave it on the USB flashdrive...your choice.

Frans: I have the PSR-510. It was a Christmas from my sister. I've played it a lot and it still works fine. I've played many expensive electronic organs whose keyboards were in bad shape after 3 or 4 years so I'm impressed that the inexpensive 510's keyboard still plays like new after nearly 15 years.

Ian: Thanks for the info and the forum link. I'm curious to learn how many styles I can store in the USER style group.

Ahh a Golden Oldie.

Have fun with your new PSR S910

You can store as many styles as you would like. It depends on the size of your flash or hard drive connected to the S910. However, the internal memory can't hold much because it is only about 3 Mb if I am not mistaking. But again, I don;t see a need to store anything internaly since the USB flash drive us so much more convenient.

I had a PSR-510...great little keyboard...the styles were very good for the time.

I have about 50 styles in my PSR-S910's user memory, plus two registration banks...the user area isn't huge, but I find it just fine for storing the styles and registrations I use a lot.

The 510 was way ahead of its time. It had some great styles that were tailored for specific songs. I remember one had the riffs for "I Feel Good", and another was perfect for Working on the Chain Gang. There was a perfect Bo Diddly style too.
I held on to it for quite a while even after I changed to 630 or whatever was next because of those styles.
