Styleworks

[franksboard]

my Style works stopped working and needed code to get up and running and this is the message i received from someone that sold item
I am sorry to inform you that the manufacturer of the StyleWorks program disappeared during the Covid19 pandemic, without leaving a trace, almost 2 years ago.



We know of no other software in the world with the same functions as StyleWorks.

Hi Frank,

Does Style Works open to the "Registration" window and can you click the ">> Start Registration" button there? (See the attached picture.)

If "Ser.No" and "PIN 1" are then displayed in this window, please post these two numbers here. Maybe then I can help you.


Best regards,
Chris

If you manage the magic to create Pin2 codes for EMC software, there is probably many owners of the software that will be very thankful for your help.
Too bad that Klaus did not have any coworker to keep on, or at least continue customer service....

The programmer of Styleworks disappeared during Covid indead.  And will never come back. Saddly he died from Covid.

I've heard that KeyGen software can generate a PIN 2. 

If you can find any info on that you may be able to reinstall StyleWorks.

Yes, but you have to be very careful when searching for such KeyGen software on the internet. It is very easy to end up on virus-infected sites and/or even the corresponding download contains a virus. So please only do this if you have the appropriate experience and all necessary precautions are observed.


Best regards,
Chris

[Gunnar Jonny]

Yes, but you have to be very careful......

Does that mean that you've found any that work well, and also might be virusfree?
I've never searched for any, because there was no need as long as Klaus was among us.

[Lee Batchelor]

Doesn't this discussion and all others on the same topic indicate that a lot of users would like a proper style creator program, outside of the Genos? I'm not suggesting Yamaha give it away. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Imagine if we could design song-specific styles, without the awkwardness of the Genos OS?

I suppose from Yamaha's point of view, the information is proprietary and that providing external software could give away closely guarded technology. All the same, we need a better style creator, either on board or external. Using the current method is like juggling chainsaws at full throttle.

[Duurduur]

It installs nothing. So I think it's fake.

[Lee Batchelor]

It installs nothing. So I think it's fake.

It may carry a Trojan or virus?

[Duurduur]

I checked it, it is clean.

Hi
I know it is great of the Peter Pipper pickled Pepper pied Piper, But can a cracked program cause leaks in your computer as hackers can plant something inside of them deep down and release a nightmare for your system at a later date getting your important information.

Does anyone know why Yamaha would not ever entertain giving us a style creator which is easy or even pay for it.
There are loads out that would. It would be the best upgrade that the Genos could have from Yamaha

Allt he Best

[Joe H]

John,

I suppose that if Yamaha finds they are not making money on styles anymore they will release a style maker software for free or for a price.  Right now we have Style Creator and Assembly on the keyboard and StyleMagic software which is getting closer to the functions of Style Creator Assembly.  Style Creator Assembly and StyleMagic each have their strengths and weaknesses.  I'm still waiting for a single program that can do it all.

I have a Keygen version of Universal, but i checked it out with a sandbox program (whatever a sandbox means , i do not know. Meant for budgies i suppose) and the Keygen Had win 32 malware in it and considered 86% dangerous.
The exe file  also had malware in it
There is another one which just uses two exe files in this forum somewhere  and that is clean  and i have not tried that.
I feel reluctant to put it on my music computer as i do not want problems.
I accidently erased a recovery partition on win 11 and it would not make any more system images.
Luckily i restored everything using a win11 ISO file without losing files and apps
When making a system image i did not have enough memory in the Recovery partition. you are supposed to reduce C drive and expand the Recovery Drive which Mini tool wizard can do.
All of that had me in a two day quandry with gale force 10 outside with storm Eunice battering the Windows and bringing the garden fence down.
Just hope the Russians do not drop an atomic bomb on RAF Fairford, Wilts or it will be the last whisky i will ever have singing I'm TOAST!!
I see someone has removed the Pied piper who's double exe files were clean. Duurduur said it did not work. Oh well!!


All the best

I'll try to be helpfull but with the fantastic comment I decide to remove the topic.

A bit more respect is appriciated.

[JohnS (Ugawoga)]

Hi Pieter
It is not being disrespectful that is the problem.
It is just the fear of getting a horrible virus that would throw weeks of work setting up a music environment on a PC
I have heard that cracks and Keygens can cause leaks and trojans.
I check your download and that was clean with a little program.
I would like to know 100% if there could be still be something hidden deep down as i am not a computer wizard.
I do not think people are trying to be  disrespectful, they are just very cautious and it may come out in different ways to somebody else.
I appreciate you trying to help.

All the best
John

Aquilauno,

The Italian to English Translator does not seem to work.  I've read the ReadMe file.  Are you saying you must disable our AntiVirus software and must run KeyGen as Administrator?

I have a copy of Style Factory and registration is the same as StyleWorks.  When I run to install it, I open the Registration... dialog showing serial number and PIN1.  Enter PIN1 in KeyGen, KeyGen will generate a PIN2. Then enter PIN2 generated by KeyGen in PIN2 field.  Then remove KeyGen program from our computer.

Is this the correct translation?

Find it hard to believe that some forum members are really considering using 'cracked software' .

Find it hard to believe that some forum members are really considering using 'cracked software' .

I'll take all the free stuff I can get, but cracked software is not only immoral and a slap in the face to those who spent a lot of time and effort in its development, but the risk of harmful attachments just isn't worth it. I have no idea if the software in question here is harmful but generally paying for authentic software is usually very economical.

I have about $600 invested in Cubase. That's a fair chunk of change but it achieves what $100,000 worth of software and hardware couldn't achieve 15 years ago. That's what I call a bargain .

[Joe H]

Find it hard to believe that some forum members are really considering using 'cracked software' .

I disagree with your premise.  Obviously you don't know the history behind this discussion.  The author of the software died of Covid-19 last year.  His software is copy protected.  If someone needs to re-install the software it is not possible any more because the author is deceased.

There is a lot more to this story than is posted here.  There is another thread discussing this issue.  And previous threads on this topic in the past. There have been attempts to pursue this legitimately, but sadly there seems to be no viable solution.  I made contacts in Germany and researched German copyright law. It is too complicated to explain in detail all the effort that has been made to find a solution to the problem.

Please don't judge that which you don't have all the facts.  No one wants to do something that is illegal, but rather not loose the investment they made when they bought the software believing it would continue to be supported by the author.

Take a look at this other thread.  https://www.psrtutorial.com/forum/index.php/topic,62270.msg476645.html#msg476645

Thanks for clarifying the situation, Joe . You make perfect sense.

[Christophermoment]

Hi Joe, the assumption you have made is incorrect, I do "know the history behind this discussion" .
I'm also well aware of the whole story and I never "judge without knowing all the facts".

[Joe H]

Well maybe you should clarify what you mean by "cracked software"

The best way to create my own song styles is through Cubase and StyleMagic Ya, it is very manageable and easy to convert.

I have Cubase 10.5 Pro. I'd love to see a tutorial about making styles that actually work on the Genos. Thanks in advance. Making styles on the Genos works but it's painful.

[Aquilauno]

Hi Joe H,
I agree with you, the topics and related posts should be read from start to finish. I stated that the file (which is a PIN generator) was made available only for users who purchased the original program.
I leaved it to the conscience and honesty of those who decide to use it (in the situation of having to REINSTALL the software regularly PURCHASED ).
I had doubts in making this file available, because I imagined that someone would surely have something to say.
I have not attached any installation files or files that overwrite the original .exe file. The vers 4.5 program is from 2012 and is now obsolete. Nobody wants to encourage the use of non-original programs, but how many of you would buy a ten-year-old smartphone model that is no longer up-to-date or upgradeable? the qualms in this context seem exaggerated to me.
I would also like to know if these observations also apply to the converted styles of intellectual property of the various companies, after all I very much doubt that using converted styles of Korg, of Roland, of Gem of Ketron and of Yamaha itself is acceptable and perfectly legal, I really do not think so.
They are styles created by other manufacturers, for other instruments and they too have the copyrigth, no doubt about it right?.
Also, is sharing factory styles legal? Many styles that I downloaded, using "PRS Midifile" show the YAMAHA logo in the Copyright column, is no one scandalized by this?
For Joe, the Readme file. I didn't create it, was inside the file found on the web, it seems to me that your translation is correct. I will remove the file from sharing and I apologize if I have hurt someone's sensitivity, but the correctness must be 360 ​​degrees and apply to everyone and everything, otherwise they are just words in the wind.

[Joe H]

Pietro,

Thank you for your response.  I agree with what you say and am glad you posted the download.  It is my opinion that Klaus used KeyGen software to generate PIN2 that allows us to run his programs.  I believe he changed to this method of copy protection because someone cracked his earlier version of StyleWorks and posted it on the internet.  He had the right to protect his software from bootleggers.

Now that he is gone users are concerned that they will loose their licensed program because there is no way to re-install it if they need to.  It is an unfortunate situation.

So... since Klaus is no longer with us to re-register the program with a new PIN2... the options are:

1. Find out who owns the copyrights to Klaus' software

2. Find a way to make the program freeware

3. Find a programmer who will take over development of the software or at least fix the bugs

4. Create a new PIN2 ourselves or loose the software forever

I will take it upon myself to pursue the above issues.  In my past research and efforts I reached a dead end contacting several people in Germany asking for help.  I also contacted a veteran programmer for help but he wasn't able to offer any.

I will give one more shot.  If I strike out, then I will personally resort to trying to create a PIN2 for software that I paid for and was licensed to me.  If anyone on this forum disagrees with my assessment... so be it.  I'm not willing to argue about this topic.  I hope this ends the discussion on this topic.

[Lee Batchelor]

Sounds good to me, Joe. You're trying to help and stay ethical at the same time. Your heart and mind are in the same place. No one can ask for anything more .

[Joe H]

OK,

For anyone interested... I determined that the KeyGen ReadMe file is in Portuguese
