Topic: PRS s 670 DANCE STYLES

[scandel]

am I mad are do the dance style NOT work as other styles? ... they seem to have chord proggressions in them ... so they don't stay on one chord ... any one have an insight to this ... or what I'm doing wrong ... Freddie

You must be referring to the DJ styles.  Those you just play along with.  I don't find them of much use myself.

They are designed to make *very* simple EDM-ish sounds. The inbuilt chord variation is more interesting than a 'normal' style. They predate the more complex 'looper' function that came in with the SX series.

Start one of the DJ styles with any chord, then play around with style live control (filter, resonance, style parts, retrigger etc).

They work a little better on Genos which has more live control knobs to play with at once.

what a waste of time they are then .. do any of the dance styles act as a 'normal' style? ... Freddie

PSR-S670 DJ Styles are like E463 Groove creator styles. They are intended as first and easy steps into EDM production and mixing. Quite useful tools for beginners. I think Yamaha "planted" them to lead existing customers from home and semi pro keyboards into Yamaha professional software and synthesizers.

Hi scandel,

Look up these options to download more dance styles in YEM or maybe without YEM
You will probably need to revoice some style parts without YEM as long as the drumkits are correct.
Afterwards you can use the Assembly function of the Style Creator to create new dance styles.

The Euro Dance pack is available for the S670 with fewer Voices... maybe these dance styles will play on that keyboard: (but some Voices may be missing in the S670 pack and you will have to find substitutes)
