All of the styles in this collection are available on the Styles Library that was introduced in January, 2012.
The full collection includes 15,085 files and requires 660 MB of disk space. The zipped download option uses 6 files and requires 201 MB of disk space.
Styles Collection #4 includes over 7,000 unique styles drawn from 15 Yamaha PSR, Tyros, and CVP keyboards introduced in the last 10 years. Styles are available by keyboard as well as by category making it easy to quickly find all the styles in any given category that have been made released over the years. Utility files are included that allow you to convert styles from one Yamaha keyboard for use on another Yamaha keyboard. All of these styles can also be loaded and played in Yamaha arranger keyboards introduced after 2011.
Every Yamaha Arranger Keyboard comes with a number of preset styles. Over the years, the number of styles included with each keyboard has grown. There were just over 200 styles provided with the mid-range PSR2000 and the PSR2100. The PSR3000 had 240 styles and the PSR-S900 jumped up to 305 styles. The most recent mid-range model, the PSR-S910 has 322 styles. The top of the line keyboards include more styles than the mid-range models, but these, too have increased over time. The Tyros1 had 300 styles. The Tyros2 was introduced with 400 styles. The Tyros3 added another 50 for 450 styles as did the Tyros4 with 500 preset styles.
As the number of styles on the keyboards increased, new styles appeared. Old styles were also carried forward, although usually modified slightly. Some styles have proved very durable and have appeared on every model. For example, you will find Beguine, PianoBallad, ChristmasWaltz and 25 other styles available on all the keyboards. But not all styles have been carried forward. As new styles are introduced, some old styles disappear. For example, CoolFunk and BluesPiano were on the 9000Pro and the PSR-2000, but not available on any subsequent keyboards. Fortunately, Yamaha styles from earlier keyboards are often playable on the newer keyboards. So, no matter what Yamaha keyboard you have, you would be able to load and play that CoolFunk style from the PSR-2000.
The PSR-2000 styles were based on Yamaha's XG and GM voices, which are available on all the keyboards. So, styles using these voices are playable on all the keyboards. However, as newer keyboards were introduced, newer features were also added like the "Mega" voices introduced with the the Tyros 1. The PSR-2000 could not play Tyros styles, but the PSR-3000 and later keyboards, which included those mega voices, could.
With the introduction of the Tyros3, Yamaha introduced a new Style File Format (SFF2), which has been continued on the S910/S710 and the Tyros4. All the earlier keyboards used the SFF1 format. The newer keyboards can play both SFF1 and SFF2 styles. Older keyboards can not play the newer SFF2-based styles.
Finally, the latest Tyros4 includes a large number of new voices, particularly vocal voices, that are used in the styles and the One-Touch-Settings (OTS). Earlier keyboards will not be able to play these styles as designed without the new Tyros4 voices.
Styles by Keyboard
I have put together this collection of Yamaha styles for owners of the newer keyboards who would like to have styles from earlier Yamaha keyboards. There are original Yamaha preset styles from 15 different keyboards. The keyboards and the number of styles from each are shown in the Table 1 below. The table also shows the Style File Format used with each keyboard.

* Includes styles from Floppy disk.
These styles are all found in the YKeyboard folder. There is a subfolder for each keyboard and within the keyboard folder are additional subfolders for each style category. The actual styles are in the category folders. Note that all style filenames have been modified slightly by appending the two-letter abbreviation shown above for the originating keyboard.
Of course, many of the styles have the same name and are similar, but none in the group are exact duplicates. There are over 1,000 unique styles in this collection, far more than are available on any individual keyboard. To illustrate the number of styles available, consider the Tyros4 style table below. The Tyros4 comes with 500 preset styles. The table shows all the styles in the T4 with new styles introduced in the T4 keyboard highlighted. The default tempo is appended to each style name. Below each category title is an "Additional xxx" category that shows the styles for this category that appeared on earlier Yamaha keyboards (including the PSR-8000). All of those additional styles are in this styles collection.

T3 Extra Styles
If you have a Tyros4, you can play any of these original preset styles. If you have a Tyros3 or the S910/S710, you can play most of the styles, but not all the Tyros4 styles. I have included two additional style sets for Tyros3 and S910/S710 owners: 8k-4-T3 and T4-4-T3. These styles sets are found in the T3Extra folder and they provide an additional 734 SFF2 styles. The T4-4-T3 styles are conversions of the original Tyros4 styles with the unique T4 voices replaced with voices available on the T3. The 8K-4-T3 are styles from the PSR-8000 but with T3 OTS voices added to the styles. T4 owners can, of course, also play any of these modified style sets.
Styles by Category
A major effort was undertaken to make it easy for you to find the style you need by arranging and organizing copies of the original styles by type of style or genre. There are 6,500 styles in this collection. It is based on the original 4,807 Yamaha preset styles from the 15 keyboards above. The larger total number of styles is because some styles are included multiple times since they are relevant to more than one category. For example, there are 5 variations of the 70'sGlamPiano style (the presets from the Tyros3, S710, S910, Tyros4, and CVP509). All 5 variations are stored in the "70'sGlamPiano" folder. All folder names match the original style name. Filenames include the style name with the 2-letter abbreviation for the keyboard model appended. In some cases, the style name is also abbreviated so that the style and the keyboard would be viewable in your style window display.
The "70'sGlamPiano" folder can be found under three different categories: Ballad, Piano, and 70's. The top-level categories include the regular Yamaha-type categories, sometimes divided into major parts. For example, all the various "Bossa" styles are found in the Latin-Bossa category. Any style with "Disco" in the style name can be found in the Disco category. Separate categories are also provided for beat-based styles (16Beat, 8Beat, 3-4, and 6-8). Some categories include the period-based styles (90's, 80's, 70's, 60's, and 30s-40s-50s) and some categories focus on the instrument type (Piano, Organ). All of the top-level categories and the number of style files in each are shown in the table below:

If you have a hard drive in your keyboard, these collections are designed so that you can simply copy all the styles directly to your hard drive. The genre styles will be in the YGenre folder and the keyboard-based styles in the YKeyboard folder. While there are a lot of styles here, hard drives are so large that all of these styles, including the duplicate copies, can be stored without any problem. If you do not have a hard drive, you can put these collections on one of the larger capacity USB drives and have all of them easily available.
Genre for PSR-3000 Owners
As mentioned earlier, styles from more recent keyboards may not play as is on earlier keyboards. Similarly, styles from the very early keyboards may not be taking advantage of features available on newer keyboards. Thanks to the work of Onacimus Sayaham, a large collection of styles from both earlier and later Yamaha keyboards have been tuned specifically for use on the PSR-3000. All of these styles are also easily playable on any of the subsequent Yamaha keyboards. These styles are all in SFF1 format.
Onacimus originally did his conversions in three style collections:
- The "Standard Style Collection", which includes keyboards that do not have Mega voices (PSR9000, 9000Pro, PSR2000, PSR2100, PSR1500, and CVP 209/210).
- The "Mega Style Collection" includes styles from keyboards that do use mega voices (Tyros, Tyros2, PSR-S700/S900, and CVP-309/409).
- The "Mega Plus Collection" includes styles from keyboards using the SFF2 format (Tyros3, PSR-S910/S710, and CVP-509).
In doing his conversions, Onacimus only included styles that were substantially different from others that had been converted. Still, his collection includes some 1,500 styles drawn from 17 Yamaha keyboards. Onacimus is very meticulous in doing his conversions and all of these styles are excellent. You can read details of his conversion methodology on his Conversions page. There are additional conversions there that you may find interesting and useful.
I have combined all these sets together and sorted the styles by Genre similar to the Yamaha Genre set. You will find these in the folder Onacimus-3k. Here, too, I have appended a 2-letter abbreviation for the originating keyboard to each style filename.
Excel Documentation
The tables above were extracted from Excel files that catalog all the style files in each collection. The data from the Yamaha Keyboards collection is in the YKbd.xlsx file. Data from the Genre collection is in the YGenre.xlsx file. Data from the Onacimus collection is in the os-3k.xlsx file.
Peter Wierzba's PSR Style Database was critical in pulling all this information together and organizing and cataloging the styles. You can use this program to read all the style folders, extract whatever fields you want to a CSV file, import that file into Excel and do your analysis there. You can learn more about this program from Peter's page in the PSR Tutorial Utility section.
Peter's program identifies 7,042 unique style files in this collection of styles. 4,491 are in the SFF1 format and the remainder in SFF2.
Registration Extras
If you have a newer keyboard, you may want to convert earlier styles to use OTS voices from your own keyboard. Having a registration file with the preset OTS voices can be a big aid in doing this kind of conversion. This is how I converted the PSR-8000 styles for use on the Tyros3. The registration set I used is available in the "Extras" folder under the "OTS T3" subfolder. Thanks to Patrick Hannequin who created an equivalent OTS file for PSR-S910 owners, which is in the "OTS 910" folder. The T3 registrations will work on the Tyros4 as well as the Tyros3. Sorry, they will not work on earlier models. For a detailed explanation of how to use these registration sets, see my article "Using Preset OTS Voices" in the lessons section of the PSR Tutorial.
