Hi Adrian,

the "official" way to use T2-Styles in T3/4/5/Genos ist to convert the Styles with "Tyros3 FileConverter":

PSR-9000, 9000pro and Tyros1 Styles can be converted with "Tyros2 FileConverter" first (and then with "Tyros3 FileConverter" once more):

BUT the Styles will NOT be converted to SFF2 format by this method! So, you can just try SFF1 Styles directly on Tyros5 first. If you are not satisfied with the sound of a Style, you can use the FileConverter(s) subsequently. (But it is not sure that this will improve the sound, because the Converter(s) will only change some specific Voice/Volume settings inside the Styles).


Best regards,
Chris
