408 Preset Styles
The
PSR-S950 includes 350 Pro (prs), 32 Session (sst), 1 FreePlay, and 25 new "Audio" styles for a total of 408
styles in 11 style categories. The more junior PSR-S750 has 295 Pro and 30
Session styles (and none of the new audio styles) for a total of 325 styles, 83 styles fewer than the S950.
Here's what Yamaha says about the S950 styles:
Playing a Style is like being the conductor of a band that always plays the chord and arrangement you tell them to play. The new PSR-S950 has a huge set of 408 built-in dynamic Styles. Yamaha Styles are created by the world's best programmers and mixed by professional studio engineers to ensure unparalleled quality.
Audio Styles
Audio Styles take one step further by adding an audio recording of studio drummers, percussionists and percussion ensembles playing in various recording studios from around the world. This adds the natural feel, ambience and warmth to the drum and percussion parts of the Style, giving your performance greater expressive potential. Yamaha Time Stretch Technology allows the audio to follow your tempo changes without changing pitch, so everything stays in perfect sync.
Guitar-Enhanced Styles with Mega Voices
Guitar-Enhanced Styles not only reproduce the sound of guitar playing, they reproduce the actual chord voicings used by guitar players. This adds to the overall realism of the Style.
The table below lists all of the styles in the PSR-S950 and PSR-S750 (the number in parentheses by each style category is the number of S750 styles). Styles highlighted by a blue font are not available in the S750. A bold blue font indicates one of the new "audio" styles. There are a total of 98 styles in the S950 that are not available in the S750. Styles highlighted by a red font are in the S750, but not included in the S950. There are 15 such S750-unique styles. The numbers following the style name are the default tempo and the time signature.

Hammer's Styles/Regs for the PSR-950/S750
Gig Disk Styles
(Nov 2012) Here are five sets of gig disks for the PSR-S950: (1) 20s and 30s song styles; (2) 50's song styles; (3) All country song styles; (4) All upbeat song styles; (5) PSR3000 setups for the S950 (I used these for years with my PSR3000 gigs). All these have OTS settings and should be playable on the S950 as is. There will be several more of these. There are duplications between the folders because these are the lists I use for gigs and some songs are in several folders.

(Jan 2013) Here are some Tyros 4 styles setup to play on the S950. Not all Tyros 4 styles will play on the S950 due to voices on the T4 not found on the S950. I eliminated those styles and added or changed the OTS voices to fit the S950. I will do more as time allows.

Genos Styles for PSR-S950
(Jun 2018) 219 Genos styles have been converted for use with the S970. While converting GENOS styles, I played and checked all the styles one by one. I found many new styles in old names. For example Bluegrass, Country 8Beat1, ChaChaCha, etc. Many old styles are given in new names 9-8Waltz as FinalWaltz, 70'sChartCountry as TopChartCountry etc. Many new styles are given in new names (MoonWaltz, 80'sChristmas, AmbientChristmas, etc). I picked the new and slightly different styles and converted those styles. All the converted Genos styles are in the Super Mega Plus table above.
S950 Special Style Collection
This style collection includes various Styles from Internet and Expansion Packs. I have updated all the styles and added many new styles in 11 categories. I have converted many Expansion styles. I have remaped the new kits by using the drumkits available in S970. These styles also can be used in TYROS3, 4, 5, CVP-509, 609, 709, S950 and S770. Some styles of Entertainer section need drum remaping in T3, C5 and S950. Because they have no 'HouseKit'. The voice selections are up to the standared of S770.

S950 YEP Indian Style Collection
I made a separate YEP Indian style style collection for PSR-S950. The zip file includes the methodology iin a text file and the Program Change details in a Microsoft XL file. These 70 styles work properly in the Yamaha PSR-S950 only if the "PSR-S950 Indian Pack.yep" is installed (the pack is available for purchase at the link provided).
I have additional YEP Indian styles for the S950. This Collection includes the YEP "Indian2" Pack and Bonus styles of PSR-S650, PSR-S750 and PSR-S950. Also new "Indian Devotional" and "Indian Entertainer" packs of PSR-S950. These styles will work properly in PSR-S950 only while any one of the three packs (S950-Indian2 / IndianDevotional / IndianEntertainer) is installed.
Other Styles for the PSR-S950/S750
All of the styles that are available for the earlier Yamaha arranger keyboards can be played in the PSR-S950 and PSR-S750. These keyboards use the style format (SFF2) introduced with the Tyros3 and used in the S910 and the Tyros4 so styles from these keyboards can also be played in the S950. Of course, Tyros styles have three right-hand voices and the Right3 voice is ignored by the S950. Tyros4 styles may also use OTS voices that are unique to that keyboard and these voices would have to be replaced with suitable alternatives when used in the S950 and S750. All of the earlier SFF1 format styles should play just fine on the S950 and S750.

Yamaha PSR-S750 AND PSR-S950 Arranger Keyboards Offer Higher-End Features And Advanced Connectivity
Sep 24, 2012 – BUENA PARK, Calif. —Yamaha Keyboard Division announces the upcoming release of the PSR-S950 and PSR-S750 arranger keyboards. Available at authorized Yamaha dealers nationwide in September 2012, the instruments will also be featured in a special showcase event at Winter NAMM 2013. Featuring Super Articulation Voices, Styles and a number of advanced connectivity options, these arrangers now offer possibilities previously only found on higher-end Yamaha instruments, like the acclaimed Tyros4 arranger keyboard.
The PSR-S950 arranger keyboard debuts Audio Style technology, bringing the realism, nuance and character of live drums and percussion to Styles. Each Audio Style adds a track of tempo-synch'ed audio from drummers and percussionists around the world. It also features Vocal Harmony 2, a tool that augments singers' vocals with 3-part harmonies and effects using the newly added Mic/Line In capability. Additionally, the upgraded color screen on the S950 makes the interface clearer and easier to read, while a brushed metal data entry wheel allows for simpler programming.
"The PSR-S950 represents an evolutionary leap forward for the PSR line, offering sound innovation, vocal harmony features, pro-quality accompaniment features and comprehensive recording capabilities," says Mark Anderson, Director of Marketing, Yamaha Keyboard Division. "Audio Styles, just one of many remarkable new tools, give performances greater expressive potential by adding real audio drum and percussion parts to Yamaha's Guitar Enhanced Style engine, producing a natural feel, ambience and warmth. The PSR-S950 is a truly powerful addition to any musician's arsenal - whether they are playing live, writing a song or producing music."
Both the PSR-S950 and PSR-S750 models feature highly expressive Super Articulation Voices and offer "Real Distortion" DSP, which adds high-quality distortion and overdrive effects to instrument Voices like guitar and electric piano. The keyboards allow for the addition of Voices and Styles by loading Yamaha's ever-growing library of Voice and Style Expansions into the 64MB FlashROM. Players can also assign and trigger WAV audio with Yamaha's new Audio Link Multi-Pads, and a re-designed speaker box has extended lows along with a highly efficient digital amplifier and digital EQ to perfectly tailor the overall sound.
"The PSR-S750 provides Yamaha's outstanding Super Articulation Voice technology at a never before seen price," says Nate Tschetter, Electronic Keyboard Product Manager, Yamaha Keyboard Division. "With the built-in FlashROM for loading-in new Voice and Style Expansions, it truly is a world-class keyboard that grows with you."
Originally introduced on the Tyros arranger keyboard, Super Articulation Voices enhance the sound of performances by adding instrument-specific nuances as you play the keyboard. Convenient connectivity options like USB TO HOST, USB TO DEVICE and audio line inputs and outputs allow players to use the PSR-S750 in a variety of exciting ways. The PSR-S950 features 1281 Voices, while the PSR-S750 has 1186 Voices.
The PSR-S750 (MSRP: $1,499) and the PSR-S950 (MSRP: $2,499) are now shipping.
