Daria's Style Conversions
Thanks to Daria Rossi (DIANADIANA in the PSR Tutorial Forum) for sharing his style conversions with PSR Tutorial visitors. Daria sent in the styles with a note as to how he does his conversions. English is not Daria's native tongue, so I have taken the liberty of editing his explanation. I hope I have captured the steps correctly. Note that Daria's styles do not include OTS, so users can insert their own preferred voices. - Joe Waters
Here are my first three complete style packs. I would be happy if you can start a styles page for these conversions. The ROLAND PRELUDE BONUS PACK has 20 styles, the ROLAND EXR GR5 has 58 styles, and the ROLAND E50 has 110 styles.
I use my own personal method for style conversion, which is fairly easy. It certainly is a common method, but is the best for me and not very difficult to explain. I start by listening to the whole style and deciding on a category (good, discreet, very bad). If there is at least some good in the style, I make a conversion for my instrument, which is a PSR-3000.
Some style are very bad because they have only 4 or maybe 5 instruments. In many cases, these are not complete because I think that at the moment of conversion to .sty format, the program did not recognize all of the original instruments. For example, Solton styles are often "bad" because the PSR does not have all the instruments used in the Solton. The next step is to adjust the volume for each single instrument and listen to the result. This is not difficult, but the ears are important. I have very good ears for these adjustments. Before making the volume adjustments, I often adjust single voices and insert live, cool, or sweet and other preset voices to produce a better sound. Finally, I adjust reverb and chorus. For these, I take the values from internal styles. For example, one dance style in the PSR-3000 has characteristic values (30, 21, 0, 25, 75, 30, 48, 30 etc). i apply these value to all my dance styles. I make these adjustments for all common categories (country, dance, rock, ballad, pop, disco, latin, ballroom, entertainer, world). After this, I have, finally, a good result.
