SX700 styles

[Lacko]

I have found site with Yamaha styles, but unfortunately they haven't styles for SX700, just for SX900, Tyros 4, S970 and S770  and some other. Which of these keyboards is nearest to SX700 when it comes to styles (voices, drumkits)? Which keyboard is SX700 successor of - S970 or S770?

hello Lacko
S770-->S775-->SX700
-means, S770 and S775 styles will work on SX700 without need to make any modification.

S970-->S975-->SX900
-these styles will work on SX700 as well, but you will probably need to replace some of voices used in style. Obviously, in this case, styles won't sound exactly the same as on targeted keyboard.

Hi Lacko,

The SX700 also contains (almost) all of the voices of the S970 (see list below). Therefore, you can also use styles that were programmed for the S970 and, to a somewhat limited extent, styles for the S975.

SX700
986 Voices + 41 Drum/SFX Kits + 480 XG Voices
131 S.Art!, 30 MegaVoice, 31 Sweet!, 74 Cool!, 89 Live!, 24 OrganFlutes

S970
989 Voices + 41 Drum/SFX Kits + 480 XG Voices
131 S.Art!, 30 MegaVoices, 31 Sweet!, 74 Cool!, 89 Live!, 30 Organ Flutes

S775
930 Voices + 50 Drum/SFX Kits + 480 XG Voices
76 S.Art!, 23 MegaVoice, 28 Sweet!, 64 Cool!, 81 Live!, 20 OrganFlutes

S975
1090 Voices + 55 Drum/SFX Kits + 480 XG Voices
140 S.Art!, 30 MegaVoice, 32 Sweet!, 74 Cool!, 99 Live!, 30 OrganFlutes


Styles programmed for Tyros models or Genos may require S.Art2 (Super Articulation 2) Voices or Revo Drum Voices, but these are not available on the SX700. This means that you can use such styles, but you may have to edit the styles more or less.


Best regards,
Chris
