PSR-S670 and XGWorks

[pquenin]

I have downloaded XGWorks on the XG-Central site and this sequencer works fine on Windows 10.
I think this is a great tool for midi sequencing and editing the sounds of Yamaha instruments.
But as it's an old software, there is no support for the PSR-S670.
My questions are : are there people here that use XGWorks with the PSR-S670 ? Do you know if you can add configuration files for this keyboard.
Any informations are welcome :-)

Hi --

The short answer is "Yes, it's possible." I suggest studying the files in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Yamaha\XGWorks\XGEditor"

Each instrument has TBL and INI files. The instrument must also have an entry in the xgeditor.ini file. Bill Gross produced a "patch" for the Tyros 3 (attached) and a similar patch for the S910.

Be prepared to do some detailed tedious work. Also, make a back-up copy of everything. I blew up XGWorks when modifying the xgeditor.ini file. (XGWorks would no longer launch.) I suggest extreme caution!


All the best and good luck -- pj

If you blew up XGWorks, what hope do the rest of us have?

Sometimes the wisest course of action is to put everything back where one found it and step away... 

I'm in awe of Bill G.'s Tyros 3 mod. He did a great job and it works.

All the best -- pj

SFF2 voices will not work in XGWorks.

Plse convert styles first by using Joergen's conversion prog first. From SFF2 to SFF1.

Tyros1 and Tyros2 ( + older ) stys will always work in XGW.

XGW works with the *.sty extension only !

Extensions always need to be changed before saving them in the XGW styles file.

Good luck, Babette

Conversion of Style from SFF2 to SFF1 is not a good solution because SFF2 sometimes loses properties. A better way is to open SFF2 with MixMaster and then Go To in XGWorks and edit Style.
