140+ Styles from old Ratley archives converted to Genos

[MadrasGiaguari]

Dear friends,

early this year Charley (Ratley) published on PSR Tutorial Forum an huge amount of old Styles (older than Genos) that he had found in his archives.

I went trough the files he had published from time to time, and found many quite interesting, IMHO and for what I could play. Selected, and started to work to make them play decently on Genos1.

Basically:
-replaced the Rhythm2 (sometimes and/or Rhythm1) with RevoDrums, often (in Style Edit mode) lowering volume of Kick, sometimes increasing Snare volume (specially on Variation 4), also replacing other Drum sounds.
-replaced various Parts sounds with Genos Voices, adjusting volume;
-reorganize Parts by using the Assembly function in Style Edit;
-replaced Reverb with Genos ones;
-changed Effect of single parts;
-sometimes changed Tempo speed;
-OTS: changed almost all, with Genos Voices, addition of Effects and Harmony;
-....and more, more, more....

About the Styles names:
-they start with category (8=8Beat; 8Rk=8BeatRock; 8Fk=8BeatFunky; Bs=BossaNova; Sl=JazzSlow; Sb=Samba; ecc,)
-084 is the Tempo (this way the Style are Tempo listed)
-the original name of the Style
-MS= Ratley MS archives (to identify the source).

Please note that in order to have a good balance between accompaniment and OTS, my volume setting of the Style section is at 70.

Of course both the selection and modifications were according to my personal taste and needs (thinking about the musical genres I play), and I apologize for the many (thousands!) other Styles that did not convert or for some error I made and I was not aware of.

Here is the link (pls copy it and past in the search window) hope it will work; if not, please advise) to download the folder containing the 140+ converted Styles:

Hi Angelo,
I have tried many of these styles on my Genos 1 and they are awesome.
There are some really unique styles that I have not encountered before.
Excellent OTS settings as well.
Any chance you have a list of songs that you have used with some of these styles
Thanks for sharing this with us.

Many thanks Angelo.
You really did a great job. Your styles are hi-quality value.
We can dream to get more styles some day...

[MadrasGiaguari]

Dear friends,

i'm very happy for your nice feedbacks, and like to inform you that I went again trough the same
set of Styles, checking in deep every Style and improving wherever possible with finer tuning and mixing balance, changing some OTS and some accompaniment Voices.

As soon as I'll complete the work, I'll replace the previous set with the improved one, and let you know.

Ciao,

Angelo

[maarkr]

lots of work appreciated... anyone tried these on an SX900 or 920?

[MadrasGiaguari]

Dear Gene,

since SX920 has the REVO Drum Kits I guess they should work fine.

Dear friends,

as anticipated I went again trough the same set of Styles, checking in deep every Style and improving with finer tuning and mixing balance, changing some OTS and some accompaniment Voices.

Here is the link to the new folder of Box containing the full set updated:

Hello Angelo.  I just saw this post and your link is no longer there. I would not mind having them if it is still possible to get them. Or if anyone else would like to share them with me I would greatly appreciate it. Would like to load them on my SX700.   Thanks in advance.

Dear Dom,

I made a test from my wife phone (she does not have an account with Box). Clicked on the link and did open the page of Box where all the Styles are.

Please try again, and let me know. Thank you,

Angelo

Hi Everyone,
I was just able to download these styles successfully.

[MadrasGiaguari]

Watch: the link in the initial post of this thread is no more valid, since I replaced with a new one hosting the revised set.

The valid link is the following:

Grazie Angelo.  All downloaded fine.  They sound GR8888888T on my keyboard.  Much appreciated.

Thank you very much Angelo,

I always love to dig into a new folder of older styles since many of them
are more basic then the newer versions of the same style redesigned over the years.

Thank you so much,

Allen
