Rearranged SX styles

[Enildo]

Hello friends!

I don't know the opinion of the majority, but I didn't like the organization of SX styles in just 9 categories. I did not like the extinction of the Ballad and Country categories, I think these two categories are traditional, in the world of arranger keyboards and could not be extinguished. I added some folders based on Genos and others created according to my own experience, intuition and need.
Some categories I created folder 1 and folder 2, so that there are no more than 50 styles per folder, as it avoids the need to use the left and right arrows, which helps in the speed of the selection. One of the advantages I have is being able to organize my own organization as well as editing all styles to my liking. The styles were also in alphabetical order, which I liked a lot, as it facilitates localization.
I completed the collection with Genos styles, as well as the styles of the s970 / 75 lines, which are missing from the SX.

I hope you like the idea.

Great idea

[Enildo]

Thank you Toril!

I also created my own folder of favorites, because as it happened, with the keyboard of two colleagues in the group, I am also afraid that it will happen with mine.
I expect a correction of this problem in the next Firmware.

Brilliant idea Enildo, BUT, .... where can we get these folders with the missing styles that you mentioned??? It would be great if you could also upload the styles for us.

I added the Genos styles that Onacimus made available and also added the styles of the s970 / 75 that I had copied and have available on the PSR Tutorial website.
From now on I will not use the preset styles and will use the User folder. The 4gbs of SX memory helps a lot.
No my opinion was a delay for SX line. Genos has 15 categories for better organization. This mix of Country and Ballad styles, with R&B, Dance, Pop & Rock, etc., did not please me.

I only use preset styles, but agree with Enildo on the current location of styles.  It's hard to remember where everything is hidden.  It took me forever to find Country Waltz, which is under World styles, which I rarely use.  For the longest, I thought that style had been eliminated from the SX900.

Hi Enildo, thank you for sharing . I like the idea for bringing in some (own) logical organization for managing the amount of styles one xan have. I struggle also with finding suitable styles in a particular category. The organisation of Multipads is  a same problem. So your idea is hulpfull to get grip on organizing the data. I was thinking; how abuot the pack- styles, or if some category has more than 100 styles in it ( I guess the same procedure: fe Latin3, and or adding to favorites1 etc.). Just for my thinking ... thnx

After playing YAMAHA arrangers for over 10 years and knowing exactly where every style is kept it's very frustration to have to get used to this 'no logic' folder system.

Just wondering
1.  Is there someone on this forum that has sorted the SX9 files out into folders as before
2.  Is there someone on this forum that has sorted the SX9 files and added the missing Genos styles into folders.

And can upload to PSRTut or Box or somewhere.

Or
Has someone made a list of SX styles that they have rearranged into Folders

Has someone made a list of SX styles and the missing Genos styles that they have rearranged into Folders.

Thanks in advance.

I like what you did Enildo. Thanks for sharing. It's strange that Yamaha eliminated some style-category buttons/folders.  I'm not sure I like the fact that the Multi Pad buttons and OTS buttons got switched around either.  But if I upgrade to a sx900 I'll have to get used to it.

Well, what is 'logical'? What to do with style names like: EuroPopMambo, ChristmasWaltz, AnnimBldRock, GreenFantasia, 60Underground, CntrJazzBld, SecretService and 1200 of similar names. And further .. a style name sometimes also differs from the underlying style. Not to mention the Multipadnames and/or voicenames...  Ehh. dear Yammies .. tricky matter though 

[Pino]

Logical to me means saving the styles into folders similar to the S950 or S975
That should cover at least 90% of the styles.

[Enildo]

Thank you all for the positive comments.

Tom, some styles can fall into one category or another. In the examples you cited, I would classify as follows:
* EuroPopMambo - Latin or Dance
* ChristmasWaltz - Movie & Show
* AnnimBldRock - I didn't find it in my files
* GreenFantasia - Movie & Show
* 60Underground - Oldies
* CntrJazzBld - I didn't find it in my files
* SecretService - Movie & Show or Ballad

When in doubt, you will use your intuition based on the country, or the origin of the artist or band, or the time, or what the style appears to be.
The important thing is that you will find the style in folder X or folder Y, because there is a logic, it is in one place or another.
What does not seem reasonable, is a style 8BeatAdria and Easy8beat is in the Jazz folder, 70sGlamPaino and 70s8BeatBallad in the Dance folder and several Ballads in the Pop & Rock category.

Hello everybody!

In line with Telmo's request, I'm making the link available to anyone who wants to download and use the styles in this way. I added the Genos and S970 / 75 styles that are missing from the SX and I liked to use them. If you don't agree with anything, simply drag the styles to any of the folders. If you want to reduce or add another folder feel free.
I worked for several weeks, but as everything we always need to improve things. Share your experience on the forum and help us improve this work.

Attention: I edited several styles (most of them change drums and volumes), mainly those in the categories Pop & Rock, Ballad, Movie & Show, Country and others. If you do not agree with the edits simply change to a preset style.
Edited styles have a "." (period) at the end of the name, to differentiate.

Enjoy!

Don't forget the Search function can help you find styles. I use it all the time

Yes Derek, that is true.
However, we do not always remember the name of the style for sure and we have to look in the folder.

Hi Enildo, thanks for sharing your effort with us. I have a small drawback and that is that WinRar won't let me unzip the file until I buy the license. Is there a way to do it? Thanks in advance. Hans

Hi Enildo,
great idea, but above all, a great job ... I can't wait to be able to use them again;)

Hola Hans!

Try it that way. It is a compression of Windows itself (zip).

Hi Enildo, thank you very much, this last one worked for me. A hug my friend

[Fred Smith]

Well, what is 'logical'?

'logical' is alphabetical order.

Cheers,

THANKS A LOT ENILDO.

Hello Enildo, very generous that you share your work with us. I appreciate and, if one likes the idea, it is a great starting point for everyone's own collection.

Hi Hans,
Actually there is no need to buy any kind of program to do something on Windows for home usage.
There are always free programs that can do the same job and many times are even easier to use.
When a window asks you if you want to buy the program, you just close it and continue to do your job.
https://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Download on of these two, for unzipping files:

Download    .exe    32-bit x86    7-Zip for 32-bit Windows
Download    .exe    64-bit x64    7-Zip for 64-bit Windows x64 (Intel 64 or AMD64)

32-bit versions of programs are for ten years old computers
64-bit versions of programs are for newer computers
Latest computers don't need a program to unzip files on windows.
