- T - Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 It is not an easy process, by any means, and more often than not, produces much less than desirable results. Those that have tried have reported widely varying degrees of success, or the lack thereof. You may want to review the following thread: http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/4281-software-to-create-patterns-for-wk-7500/#comment-14450 This thread deals with the WK-7500, but what is discussed in it applies equally well to the CTK-7000/WK-7500 and CTK-7200/WK-7600. There are also other similar threads. Do a site search on "style conversion" or "rhythm conversion" or "Yamaha style to Casio rhythm conversion", etc. The conversion program described in the above thread was written by a private individual many years ago, when Yamaha style files were much simpler and smaller than they are today. They were all in the Yamaha SFF-1 format and all ended in a ".STY" file extension. More current files end in a myriad of different file extensions and many are in the new SFF-2 format, which must first be converted to SFF-1 by another program, but also contain articulation tones that Yamaha calls "Mega Voices", which will not convert at all. Many, but NOT ALL, that have file extensions other than ".STY" can be simply renamed to have an "STY" extension. So, for the most part, you will be limited to styles from the older Yamaha PSR models, which I think you will find are not on par with the newer rhythms of the new Casio CTK/WK models, but to each his own. Hopefully, one of those who have tried will pop in here and share their experiences with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
