Every Yamaha arranger keyboard has built-in styles that are included with that keyboard. Sometimes called internal styles, these styles are stored in the PRESET area and they are always available and can not be changed or erased. They can, however, be modified and then 'saved' to the USER area or to a HARD DRIVE or to a USB drive.

The navigation bar on the left takes you to a page of styles for the indicated Yamaha arranger keyboard. You will find there a listing of all the internal preset styles that came with that keyboard. On many of the pages, there are also additional style sets that are compatible with, indeed, have been tuned to work with, that particular keyboard. All of these style sets can be downloaded. In all cases, you will be downloading a compressed file (a zip file) that must be uncompressed to get at the included styles. Be sure to check each page and to scroll to the end of the page. There are many thousands of styles available in this section.

In addition to styles for each keyboard, you may find one or more links to YouTube video demos of the keyboard. You will also find the original Yamaha press release for that keyboard.

If Yamaha and/or arranger keyboards are new to you, you might be interested in learning a bit about these keyboards and the 'styles' they contain as well as Yamaha's track record for announcing new keyboards. This site, the PSR Tutorial, originated when the PSR2000/1000 models were introduced. These models represented a brand new mid-range Yamaha arranger keyboard very different from the previous PSR740/640 series. Hence the PSR 'tutorial' was born. Since then there have been many more models and the PSR Tutorial kept expanding with each new model. To learn a little bit more of this history, read on below.

New Keyboards Every Year

Anyone who has had an arranger keyboard for a few years knows how much this industry changes over time. These keyboards are, at their heart, computers and like your typical desk-top computer, the features available seem to get better and better every year (although sometimes users are disappointed to see the disappearance of appreciated features). So, I've arranged the Yamaha styles section to reflect a small part of the historical record of Yamaha arranger keyboards.

The table shown on the right lists the various Yamaha arranger keyboard model families and the month and year of the press release for that model. You can click on any of those press release dates to see the original press release for that model. This information is also provided at the bottom of each model's styles page. Of course Press Release dates often precede the actual arrival of the keyboard in stores by months. For recent models, you can see a detailed listing of features and specifications by clicking on the keyboard model.

The pages in this section are focused on the models starting with the PSR730 series introduced in 1997 and going all the way to the present PSR-S975 model introduced in February 2018. Some models represented a series of keyboards, for example the PSR740, PSR640, and PSR540. Keyboards in a 'family' generally operated the same way with the more expensive models having more styles, more voices and, usually, more features. I refer to the top-of-the-line model in a keyboard family, but many of the styles provided will also work on the more junior brothers.

We also include the high-end series along with the mid-range series. The high-end is represented by the PSR8000, PSR9000, 9000Pro, Tyros, Tyros2, Tyros3, Tyros4, Tyros5/5-76 and, most recently, the new Genos. The mid-range is represented by the PSR730, PSR740, PSR2000, PSR2100, PSR3000, PSR-S900, PSR-S910, PSR-S950, PSR-S970, and the new PSR-S975. As the table indicates, a new mid-range keyboard is introduced one year and a new high-end keyboard the following year in a two-year sequence. There's no guarantee that this pattern will continue, but chances are that new and better keyboards are now on the drawing board. The PSR-S975/S775 were introduced in 2018 as replacements for the PSR-S970/S770. The Tyros5 replaced the previous flag-ship model Tyros4. The Genos keyboard, however, has a significantly different interface than the previous Tyros5. It represents a new generation of high-end model for Yamaha.

Similar Keyboards Every Year

If you have paid attention to the evolution of car models, you will undoubtedly have noticed a major model change occurring in one year and then that basic 'body style' being carried forward for several years before another major style change. You'll find that same idea in these arranger keyboard models. The PSR730 and PSR740 model families operated much the same way. The introduction of the PSR2000 was an entirely new and different operational system. That system has been carried forward in the Tyros, the 2100, the 3000, the Tyros2, the PSR-S900, the Tyros3, the PSR-S910, the Tyros4, the PSR-S950, the Tyros5, the PSR-S970, and the PSR-S975. It is also essentially the same operational system used in the Yamaha CVP digital pianos. The similarity in the operating system means it is fairly easy to move from one model to another. It also means that many of the styles will be somewhat interchangeable. I say 'somewhat' because while the operating system may be similar, the hardware is not and the voices included with each new keyboard are generally different. Thus, a style from an older keyboard may, indeed, play on a newer one, but it may not sound exactly the same. Styles, however, can be 'tuned' to optimize their sound on each of the keyboards. More on this below.

Preset and 'Tuned' Styles

For each keyboard, the Styles page gives you the internal preset styles provided with that keyboard. In several cases, you will also find additional style sets, tuned specifically for that particular keyboard, available on the 'Styles' page. For example, you will find the Tyros4 styles tuned for the PSR-S950 on the PSR-S950 Styles page. You'll also find thousands of styles from earlier (and later) Yamaha keyboards tuned specifically for the PSR-S950 on that page.

Style Compatibility & MegaVoices

While there have been a series of Yamaha keyboards produced, they have ALL included a basic set of 480 XG and GM voices. These voices are used in creating the styles for many of the keyboards. It is for this reason that one can take a style that was available on the PSR8000 and play it in the PSR740 or the PSR2000. This style compatibility, however, was broken with the introduction of the Tyros model. This model included a new MegaVoice technology. This technology provided more realistic sounding instruments, particularly the guitars, for the styles built into the Tyros. But the technology was only available in the Tyros. Those original styles will play, as is, in earlier keyboards, but they will NOT sound good. The earlier keyboards do not have the megavoice technology. Fortunately, there is software available that can detect and remove the megavoices from the style and replace it with a standard guitar or similar voice. When you see Tyros styles for the PSR2000, that is what had to occur. All the styles had to be tuned, fixing up the accompaniment voices where needed.

In addition, the styles on the models from PSR2000 onward, included one-touch-settings (OTS) built in and stored with the style. The OTS use the preset voices on the keyboard. If newer keyboards have voices not available on older keyboards, then these voices would also have to be adjusted to 'tune' that style to use the voices available on earlier keyboards.

This 'tuning' of styles is one of the strengths of the PSR and Tyros arranger line since the PSR2000 model. Not many users actually create their own styles from scratch, but many have learned how to modify an existing preset style to 'tune' it to their own particular preferences. It is fairly easy to modify accompaniment voices and volumes to suit your own personal tastes. You can change the default tempo of a style and the various OTS voices saved with that. You can even take parts of a style, for example, a bass pattern used in one style, and put it in another style. All of this can be saved in a new version of the style that you can name whatever you like. So each user can create as many styles as needed with these keyboards. The lessons available in the Lessons section of this site help you learn how to do all this style tuning. In this section of Styles as well as other sections, you will be able to download styles created and/or tuned by other owners for your use and enjoyment.

Styles are the life blood of an arranger keyboard owner. Your keyboard, of course, comes with a number of preset styles built into the firmware of the keyboard. The newer and more expensive keyboards have better and more numerous styles. But, no matter how many and how great the styles included with your keyboard, eventually, you get used to all the preset styles and begin to yearn for something new and something different.

Of course, one of the great advantages of the Yamaha PSR and Tyros keyboards is the ability of users to load external styles into their keyboard as quickly and easily as they load the preset styles. To facilitate the use of external styles, the keyboards include external storage device(s) --USB drives, hard drives, or, on earlier keyboards, floppy disk drives or Smart Cards. These storage areas are used to hold additional files for your keyboard, such as more style files!

Where Do New Styles Come From?

You Create Them! - As you become more comfortable with your keyboard, you will discover that you can modify any of the preset styles in many different ways. You can change the OTS voices used. You can even change the accompaniment voices. You can increase or decrease the default tempo and set your own, preferred, left-hand voice. Many users will 'tune-up' a style with changes like this to modify it to fit a particular song. The revised style can then be saved to one of the user storage areas as a 'new' style. So, users themselves can create new styles by modifying the preset styles.

Others Create Them! - Unfortunately, not everyone has the time, or the talent, to tinker with styles and make their own versions. Fortunately, many folks who can modify styles have also chosen to make their versions available to others by uploading them to various internet sites. There are many such sites on the internet where you can find style files for use with Yamaha keyboards and there are, literally, thousands of these styles available for download. Some of these styles are 'tuned' preset styles, some are simply copies of preset styles from earlier keyboards, some are styles taken from arranger keyboards of other manufacturers and reformatted and tuned to work on PSR and Tyros keyboards. Some are styles that have been converted from midi files and some are styles that some very talented users have created themselves entirely from scratch. And, of course, you can also find commercial sources that have created styles and will be happy to sell them to you.

PSR Tutorial Styles

This Styles section has thousands of styles that you can freely download. These styles are in compressed 'zipped' files to minimize storage space and minimize download times. After you download the 'zip' file, you need to 'unzip' it on your computer to get to the included style files. You can then transfer these files to your Yamaha keyboard. Even if you have a high-speed internet connection, it can take a long time to build up your own collection of styles; if you have a slow connection, it can take a very long time. And then, you have to unzip everything.

If you don't want to bother with all that, you can simply get one of the PSR Tutorial style collections. The first collection was put together in the fall of 2007 and included about 19,000 styles. A second was released early in 2009 with 16,000 additional styles and the original collection was also revised at that time. The third collection was released in August of 2010 with 15,700 styles. A fourth collection, released in 2011, focused on Yamaha internal styles and includes all the preset styles from Yamaha PSR and Tyros keyboards introduced in the previous decade.

These large style collections were delivered on CD-ROMs with all style sets 'unzipped' and ready to use. Users could copy the files from the CD-ROM to their computer and then to a floppy disk or a USB drive where they could be immediately loaded and played on their Yamaha keyboard.

Since the introduction of the PSR-3000, the Yamaha arrangers have included USB connections and USB drives have become very popular with all computer users. The capacity of these small drives has increased over the years while the prices have fallen. Taking advantage of this trend, in January of 2012, we introduced a new 'style library' that included all of the styles in the first four collections, combined and reorganized into one convenient package distributed on a 4 GB USB drive.

The introduction of the USB proved very popular and gradually more of the available resources were modified so that they could be distributed on USB drives.

It also allows you to suspend active downloads and resume downloads that have failed. • You might not be able to pause the active downloads or resume downloads that have failed. The Microsoft Download Manager solves these potential problems. It gives you the ability to download multiple files at one time and download large files quickly and reliably.

In addition to USB drives becoming more popular and economical, newer computers also improved in capacity and performance and high-speed internet connections are now common. In addition, the PSR Tutorial moved to a dedicated server with additional online storage space. So, in 2012, we were able to provide a number of resource collections in a format that could be directly downloaded. In this format, the style collections were compacted into several large zip files that had to be downloaded and unzipped to recreate the original collection -- more effort on the part of the user, but the style collection arrived in minutes instead of days or weeks.

In 2013, I redefined the PSR Tutorial resources available to users to reflect that what is being provided is acollection of files that you can use with your Tyros or PSR (or CVP) keyboards. Almost all of the collections are available by directly downloading the resource. You then unzip the downloaded files and reconstruct the original file set and organization.

For users who are not comfortable with all that downloading and unzipping, we also offer the option of ordering a USB drive with your file collecton. All of the files in the collection(s) you order will be copied directly to the USB drive, uncompressed and ready to use, and the drive mailed to you. All you have to do is plug it into your computer or your Yamaha keyboard and everything is ready to go.

The available USB drive (16GB) is quite large and multiple file collections can be added to a single USB drive. In the descriptions of the resource collections that we now offer, I include an indication of the size in GB of each collection as well as a size of the available GB space on each of the USB drives. So, you can easily determine what size USB drive you may need if you are interested in several of the available collections.

I have eliminated any additional Shipping and Handling charges from the individual collection prices since there are no additional postage or media costs if you download the collection. These costs are involved in the mailing of USB drives so the cost of the drives reflects not only the actual drive cost, but also copying all the files to the drive, which can take several hours, and packaging and mailing the drive to you.

So, if you want to add more styles to your own style library, you have serveral options available:

• Download individual style sets from those offered on the web site (all free).
• Order one or more of the large style collections. After your order is received, you will be sent an email with instructions and links for downloading the style collection (generally within 24 hours).
• Order one or more of the style collections and order one of the USB drives. All the collections you order are copied to your USB drive and the drive mailed to you. You will still be sent the download instructions and you can download some of the sets if you want to get started right away, but you don't have to since everything will arrive on the USB drive.
