Hey guys,
I wasn't a tyros5 user at the time Yamaha made these audio styles available for purchase, so I also missed a lot of what was available.
Right here on the forum I got some from the s950's Latin category, pop/rock, swing/jazz and dance that were possibly for the Tyros5 at the time, but even so I don't think I have all the audio styles yet.
If anyone has what I'm missing and could kindly make it available, I would be very grateful. I don't see any problems in also sharing what I achieved.
Maybe Onacimus or other people who converted these styles still have them saved, right?
I have a style named "axe1" which, the way the percussion is, seems to be converted from an audio style. It's in the onacimus special collection for s910. I really wanted the original style.
They *used* to be on sale at Yamahamusicsoft, but disappeared along with the T4 and earlier expansions. They were paid, so I doubt many people bought them; at the time I didn't think anything of it since I *have* an s970; but now that those audio styles aren't available anywhere, I'm loathe to part with it until I can transport those actual styles onto a G1/G2, etc
They had releases the PSRs950/970/975 audio styles as paid download packs for the T5, which would work on G1, G2, sx900 and A5000 if you had already purchased them. But they weren't free (I think it was like $28 for 5 styles?), and no longer being offered on Yamahamusicsoft. Don't know why not, but I assume lack of interest.
Which is a shame, the s950/970/975 audio styles included some absolutely incredible styles, albeit with tempo limitations. Especially the Industrial Chill (Donkey Kong Country!) one, the 60sSuperGroup (Beatles) one, Drummelfire's Percussive Trance (yes, actually performed by the German version of Blue Man Group), where they actually yell "Yamaha!" 3 times for Ending 2! Tango flamenco was incredible as well, but since it was on the T5, *is* available.

At the time when I was still new to online shopping on the internet, there were many normal premium styles that I was going to buy for my s910 from YamahaMusicSoft that have now also disappeared, as have the audio styles.
I don't know why Yamaha doesn't make them available for free, as is the case with the packs that were also paid for.
This to me is a lack of respect for the consumer.
People who want this material and could even buy it simply can't.
Oh that's right, the audio styles aren't included. They are in the super mega plus collection, but they have the extension .prs, so I s'pose they're just convertions and don't actually include the audio. Was there no way of exporting them? I thought the S975 was based on the same OS as the Tyros5.
Exactly. These are converted versions of the original audio styles so that they can be used on keyboards without this feature. However, the audio part is missing.
For example, the percussion converted from the "batucada" style of the Latin category is not even close to the original version. It's a groove that's almost impossible to achieve with midi.
