SD7 styles for the Audya...

Hi,

Has anyone been able to use the SD7 styles in the Audya? Is it possible? Is it worth looking into?

Cheers,

Henni

Take a SD7 style
Change extension .KST To .MID
Open file in the Audya style compiler with compile midi files option
Create a PAT file for Audya

Enjoy

Hi my friend,

That is GREAT news. Would anyone be kind enough to share their SD7 styles with me?

buildtofly@yahoo.com

Thank you so much in advance,

Henni

I would also be very thankful to anyone who would share some SD7
styles. kiercooke@gmail.com

Hi my friend,

Thank you for the link. Where can I find all the SD7 styles?

Cheers,

Henni

The only way I see to copy the SD7 factory styles is to Save them one by one as User styles. Then I assume they can be exported.
My SD7 is usually set up on the job, or if I get a day off it is in the van. Schedule is too busy to do it now.
Maybe another owner can do this for you, or I will have time at some point.

Hi DonM,

Thank you for the reply. On the Audya, when you hook it onto a PC, you can merely copy everything in the Style folder.

Hopefully someone has done this before & would be willing to share.

Kind regards,

Henni

You can only see the USER style folder on the SD7. Can't see the Factory Styles.

Hi again,

How does one extract the styles from the midjPro?

Cheers,

Henni

The complete style cannot be copied over even with their compilers. You will be missing the entire drum track since both audio drum formats are not compatible.
The velocity response which triggers different sounds in both machines will also not transfer over so most sounds will not sound close to the original at all.

Hi AJ,

Tx for responding. Never expected the audio drums to be copied along with the midi style. I'm sure the Audya will have fitting audio drums which could simply be browsed into those styles. Even if styles do not sound as per original, it will spark new interest into my Audya & once again give me something to tweak to my heart's content which I like to do.

Can the MidjPro styles be copied with a PC without saving them to the user styles first? Please anyone, I'm still looking for the SD7/MidjPro styles if you can help at all...

Best regards,

Henni

It works!!! See attached file for your enjoyment.

Now, would someone PLEASE tell me how to get the styles from the MidjPro? Is it like the Audya? Can you connect a PC to it & just extract the onboard styles, or is it like the SD7 where you 1st have to save every single style to a user style?

Could someone PLEASE send me their SD7 & MidjPro styles? I'll convert & post the new Audya styles here.

buildtofly@yahoo.com

Come on now you guys, let's blow some new life into our Audyas!!!

Cheers,

Henni

but midjpro and sd7 style have .kst format and audya have .pat format
How to convert?
I understand is possible to convert a pat to kst with internal tool, but how to do the reverse operation?

I guess there's a better chance of "nothing" bad happening during September 2015 than of any one responding to my request. I have a friend willing to extract his MidjPro styles for me, but he does not know how. I do not own one, so hence my request for info over here...

Too bad, I could have given the Ketron community something new to play with. Every now & then some over here cry out & beg for new Audya styles & then pay a fortune for six or so at a time. The Audya is now seven years old without anything exciting happening to it apart from the Ajam upgrade which was also long, long ago.

No wonder I lately spend so much time with the Yamaha crowd - they all work together & some new, awesome styles become available almost weekly. I guess I'd rather then focus on modifying & upgrading 2012 onwards Ketron styles to Mega technology to play in the Yamaha series.

My advice for future Ketron owners: Realize this - what you pay for is what you get. Don't bargain on adding anything substancial new or exciting to your purchase except for Ajamsonic, that is. I know they will point you to nearly 50GB of ancient stuff for it, but that's where it ends. Hope you guys don't get bored too quickly...

Disappointing to day the least Henni

Hi Henni, Like you I have become bored with the Audya and a couple of weeks ago I bought a Tyros 4 and I am delighted with it. It is a bit of a learning curve but a pleasant one. I find there are some things the Audya is better for and others the Tyros is best but I am hoping to completely switch to the Tyros 4 eventually. Much more choice, lighter instrument for gigging and many more plus points. Can you please tell me where the new styles you speak of are appearing almost daily. I have loads of Tyros styles and sounds to share if you want them, Thanks in advance, Bobby

Henni I am with you 100% ,you work a lot for us and it was very appreciated ,just look at the audya files archives
AJ work a lot for us ,just see is web site and YouTube
I cannot say the samething with Ketron now I am stuck with my audya5.with problems
When I had the technics kn7000 it was for me the best arranger keyboard We have some good sequencers from the kn7000 owners etc
on the Cee s website,wonderfull intro and endings for many songs
like :keep on smiling,stardust,can help your self,miller band,....These styles was convert for Yamaha,solton,roland But the kn7000 was the best.To bad it dont exist no more.
Now I am with you when you speak about Yamaha with th psr tutorial website If you have a Yamaha s910 or s950 ect..you can have the styles from the tyros keyboards except the variation 4
and .vce
Ketron is for the $$$$$ because of there styles and sounds extensions..pat,kst
You cannot convert the audya styles for the sd5 now is the sd7 that you cannot convert for the audya I dezip the styles midjaypro but it dont work for my audya ,because of the audio drums and so forth.
What we mist is some real song styles like solton New York New York,Gigolo ect..
What will happen with our audya? maybe a miracle with Ketron no way.They want the $$$$$

Hi all,

Thank you for your replies. BobbyP, thanks but I have more than two hundred thousand styles for my Yamaha. You'll find everything you want for your Tyros 4 over at the PSRTutorial forum @ also at CreateSongStyles. Well worth the effort to belong to these two forums. Between the two you'll have a hard time even auditioning the new styles, there are just THAT many that becomes available.

I realize from the posts above that I am not alone - for me any arranger is all about styles. I get bored with old stuff very quickly. Look at cars for instance - they change shape yearly to fight off the competition. It should be just so with arrangers. Just because something is good, it does not mean it would still be good seven years later...

The Audya has a very good, refreshing, crisp, clean unplugged sound to it. However, it falls seriously short compared the the Mega guitars used in just about every Yamaha style. Also, the style programmers over there are not as talented with guitar voices in their styles as the Yamaha style creators are. Sorry to say, but never the less true.

Anyway, I tried.

All the best,

Henni

What's your opinion on best all around model of Yamaha currently considering styles, price, and other features?

Hi,

Value for money: PSR S970.

If money no option: Tyros 5

Henni

Hi,

I've had serious network problems all day. Typing from my nokia. Will contact you all when network restored.

Henni

can you email sd7 styles? Thank you
darkosjaj@gmail.com

Hi all,

Get the styles here.

Very few of these would convert properly. Some of you have good midi programs & experience. Please fix these and:

1. Send me the fixed styles to buildtofly@yahoo.com
2. Please send me the MidjPro styles

Please, many would not even care to respond to this post of mine, yet I'm still making these styles available to all. Therefor please give heed to my two requests above.

Cheers,

Henni

Thank you very much Henni.

Thanks Henni.

Hi,

Was anyone able to fix the midi sections in those styles that would not convert with Stylecompiler? Funny enough, those midis play perfectly on the Audya as pure midi files...

Cheers,

Henni

Thank you Henni for the styles much appreciated

Hi All very interesting indeed, and every word is true, so actually what is the best keyboard arranger to buy for super realistic sounds excellent styles
