Graham ask me to take a stab at converting the style and this is the result.

Here is the "Desert Adventure" style which I converted to work with my PSR-S950 keyboard.

I ran the style through the "Revo Drum Cleaner" program first, to remove any clicks and weird sounds that are something present.

I used the "OTSViewer" program to see what OTS voices the style was using. Half of the voices my keyboard had. I added the substitute OTS voices the program suggested.   

Next I used the "RevoiceStyle" program so I could see what voices the style was using. I found that only 2 were missing from Genos 1 (RHY2 and PHR2).

Here at 3:10 you can see and hear his guy using some of the style's mains in this short demo.

After watching and hearing the video the missing RHY2 was easy to fill by using the Studio Drums and the missing PHR2 by using the Classical Flute.

Enjoy

Drake. A nice G2 conversion and thankyou for the explanation of how it was achieved.

PS.I love the Yamaha (Flute Type) Duduk Meditation voice...Which we don't have.

Depending on the keyboard one is using all conversions can sound differently so a little time spent is expected changing the Style Part Voices & OTS's to your liking.

Drake,
I tried it with the Lawrence of Arabia theme. This style conversion sounds great on SX900.  I had made a post about this new style the other day https://www.psrtutorial.com/forum/index.php/topic,67703.0.html

I had been analyzing all the OTS voices from a YTube video demo, but you have your OTS and Revoice programs which is obviously better.

A few comments:

- Since the DudukMeditation voice is only on the G2, I had been searching for an adequate replacement on SX900 that I thought might capture the emotion of the Duduk. I kind of settled on the RH1 Nay, the RH2 MOR Oboe, and a string pad for RH3. Or a clarinet or flute with the oboe or nay in some combination

- for extra percussion, the multipad ArabicPerc1 shows on the screen in one of the demos. ArabicPerc2 would also work

Drake, great job on the conversion. I have something similar, but this is equally as good or maybe better.

Thanks for contributing,

Balaban instrument is played in the eastern part of Iran's historic Azerbaijan region as well as in the Republic of Azerbaijan (where it is also called Düdük according to the Encyclopædia Iranica). Balaban, Mey, and Duduk are almost identical, except for historical and geographical differences.
So If you cannot find a duduk , try searching for Balaban or Mey

Hi Del,
Those two files that you're offering are not voices; they are only settings for voices. Means, for someone who doesn't already have actual voices on keyboard, these two files are useless.

Hi Bogdan
Thanks for letting me know, I have removed the files, not sure where I got them from or what pack they came from.

I looked up Duduk and after reading about it, I changed the PHR2 voice to the "Sweet! Obeo" voice and in the A - OTS.

Interesting thread and a nice break from all the Genos2 threads. I saw a comment on the web that this new Desert Adventure style was based on Hans Zimmer's Dune soundtrack. That may be true, as below video seems to have some elements very close to the feel of the style.
