PSR 500 Styles

[NASAMike]

Back in the early 90's I had the PSR 500 and it actually had a few styles that I really liked.  Does anyone know of a way of getting those?

Thx,
NASAMike

I still do have all the styles of the PSR 550 I owned at the time. Good chance the styles you are looking for are on there as well. Let me know in a PM and give me your email address so I can have a look and send them to you.

The PSR550 styles (and many more models) is also downloadable at PRS Tut: https://www.psrtutorial.com/sty/yamaha/psr-550.html

Just click the title over the stylelist and a zip will download.

Hi all,

the PSR-500 was introduced 1991. This model has no USB terminal, of course, and no Memory Card slot. Therefore, i guess, its original (103) Styles are NOT available as SFF Style files, because they could not be "copied out" in any way from the PSR-500.


@NASAMike
The oldest Styles available on the Psrtutorial Style page are from PSR-730 (introduced 1997), PSR-8000 (1998), PSR-740 (1999), PSR-9000 (2000) and the PSR-550 (2001), which was already mentioned before. Maybe you can still  find some of the "good old" PSR-500 Styles there:

The PSR 600 had the exact same spec of the PSR 500 + a floppy disc drive.
Could the styles be saved / exported via floppy?

Hi psrtutsfan,

to my knowledge, the internal Styles can NOT be saved / exported via floppy disk on the PSR-600. On the floppy you can only save (up to 12) so called "Page Memory" sets (similar to Registrations).

Please refer to the pages 13 and 38 of the PSR-600 Owner's Manual:

I have some old styles from the PSR 620, PSR 630 and PSR 1700/510.  Maybe there are some styles of interest to the OP.

Hello Joe H! Thank you so much for your Oldie styles! Very much appreciated!

Toril,

You are welcome.  If anyone else is interested in this download... I will mention that I will be disabling the link at the end of February.

NASAMike,

Did you try these styles?  I'm curious if there are some that were in the PSR 500.

I tried them, thanks for uploading.
Unfortunately, these are not the ones on the PSR 500 (or SQ-16 or PSS-51 which seem to share the same styles).
The PSR 500 had terrific intros and endings, and even the variations where something unique I couldn't find in any new styles.

Styles in PSR 1700 should be very much like the ones in 500/510.  They are in a newer format though, so should work better.

Don,

I think the 510 and 1700 were 2 versions of the same keyboard.  When I owned the PSR510 I contacted Yamaha about system exclusive data sheets.  They had to contact Japan. What I received is system exclusive formats for the PSR510/PSR1700.  The 510 had no floppy drive but apparently the 1700 did.

I only remember because I had a 510.  It has a style, I think called Rocknroll, that had a perfect Bo Diddly beat.
They later dropped that style and I was able to find it years later on a collection of PSR1700 styles.  Several more good ones were there...James Brown's I Got You, Chain Gang, etc.

You may get some Styles those you are expecting. Please check this page.

Doesn't look like the links had the style I was looking for.  The 500 had a style called NewAgeRock that had a very interesting opening.

Thx for all the work though!
