What is the use of .ots files
« on: January 20, 2023, 04:59:45 PM »
Hi everyone,
I bought a few packs of style from eBay and found several ots files included. I'm wondering how to use them. There is no "ots" button on Yamaha keyboards, such as Style or Registration,...
Thanks for your help.

Hello,

This means that the styles you obtained are loaded and ready to play in the four MAIN VARIATIONS.

I'm quite sure most if not all Yamaha arrangers have these four buttons

"OTS" means "One Touch Setting"

It means the styles have one touch voice settings included. There is one touch setting feature  (OTS) and an OTS on/off button on most of the Yamaha arrangers. If you have no OTS button maybe your arranger model doesn’t have it.

OP is asking
...found several ots files included. I'm wondering how to use them...
-and I'm wondering too. The thing is, when saving OTS on keyboard, it's saved inside style file -not as separate (ots) file. I really have no idea what ots file would be...

PS: just checked on Google and it says file with "ots" suffix is "OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template".

Open them up in notepad on the pc, and see if they contain any readable text that gives a clue as to what they are.

Hi
Many years ago ots data was not stored inside the style file, but stored in seperate files.
I think PSR 9000 used this system.

Thanks everyone for the responses. Very appreciate it.
I think Jorgen's comment makes sense and I just ignore them. I'm attaching an ots file if anyone interested (please change the file extension to "ots")
Thanks again

Yes I had a 9000 where the OTS was in a separate file to style.
