Just Alex Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Ok, will do some this weekend I also have PA50SD styles somewhere, need to dig into Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Just checked these styles - they have way complex orchestration and are using all 16 midi channels - way complexier than even Genos/Tyros native styles. So conversion can/will take a time and might not sound as well as original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Well, I almost figured why these styles are so hard to convert. In "normal" style, you have rhythmic pattern, usually played in C7, and keyboard changes it to whenever Major or Minor or any other, depending on which chord you've play. In these styles, however, each rhythmic pattern in style is written into 3 tracks, one for major, one for minor and one for 7th. So during conversion, this leads to junk. However, since cause is identified, now I know how to fix it. Here's very quick conversion of Country Slow 1 style. Main A and B are fixed, but intro and ending not yet. However, it is still usable. Will fix it later. CtrySlow1.ac7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 And another issue is that country music uses a lot of 7th chords, so for me, as a person without any musical knowledge, it is hard to isolate which track is a chording track (and should vary as you press different chord), and which is the solo track (one should not change chord).

Jokeyman123 Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Classic country-earlier styles before country went to pop and newer blues-style hooks and leads-used predominantly "6th" chords-a C chord is C-E-G-A-and thus is also an a minor 7 but not played that way in earlier country piano styles-was meant to emulate a pedal steel. I don't know if this helps with your style construction. Used 2nds sliding into the 3rd almost as a grace note from the 2nd to a 3rd and the 5th crushed into the 6th-very characteristic of that style. Brad is knowledgeable about this style-has a really good solo posted here somewheres showing this characteristic sound. But then I am talking about rather ancient styles by today's standards-Hank Willams is still king in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted November 30, 2020 Author Share Posted November 30, 2020 Yes, I've noticed that some tracks are 6th. As said earlier, my formal music knowledge is very limited - just to knowing that "C" rests on the separate short line in music notation And issue with country styles is, that when converting them to Casio, in converter, you have choice of minor, major or seventh - no support for 5th or 6th chords. Personally, I don't need that styles at all, just our member, RickyLee asked to convert some For myself, I favor 80's synthpop, blues and DooWoop, with these, I had no issues so far.

Just Alex Posted December 14, 2020 Author Share Posted December 14, 2020 Today I was in a mood for an romantic oldie, so did this quick style conversion - loosely based on "Tears on my pillow", with slightly country guitars and some pop strings added Intro, Main A, Main B, fill ins. It also should have smooth fading out ending, but for some unknown reason, it does not... Tears_On_My_Pillow.ac7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted December 19, 2020 Author Share Posted December 19, 2020 Above link is scam, do not open it, has nothing to do with style conversion. Meanwhile, here's a nice style for 80's UK rockabilly revival: "King Rock"- fits many songs by Stray Cats, some of ELO songs and even Queen's kingrock.ac7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijomne Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Hi Alex, Are you able to make a style for stuff like these? indonesian, Turkish, Arabian, other oriental etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 I do have some oriental styles, but haven't converted them, due to low interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a lot of work I guess..I still don't have my ctx5000 home and I guess it won't be soon at home due to covid-19 impacts on transportations in my country. I can't wait to start exploring how all this work is actually done on the keyboard..I hope you 'll be here for some basic advices.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Alex Posted January 16, 2021 Author Share Posted January 16, 2021 Today I was in the mood of oriental things, and did this conversion from Yamaha PSR S-970. The style is called "China Pop Ballad 3" and you can hear the original one here (starting at 1:53). It took me several hours, because it uses custom drumset (standard won't work), also yamaha-specific system commands and wheel settings, so that shakukachi intro had to be re-recorded. Result is quite good. Intro/Main/Fill A/Variation/Fill B/Ending. Actually, intro and ending sound quite close to M-People "Don't look any further", so I named this converted style as "C-People" C-People2.ac7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Alex Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 Here is Status Quo - In the army now. I believe, chord guitars are a bit louder than they should be, but you can adjust them as you'd like.

Just Alex Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 "China Rock Ballad" - a powerful ballad style (Converted from Yamaha PSR S-970) with very nice intro and ending. Was reworked to fit Casio sound system, and unfortunately, some panning effects had to go, since not supported by Casio. Anyways, it is still cool rhytm...

Just Alex Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Trying to convert some Doo-Woop styles from Yamaha. These guys at Yamaha are crazy - There are countless modifications of styles I've experienced so far - each one using totally different chording system. Hope will finish at least one today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted January 24, 2021 Author Share Posted January 24, 2021 Almost completed (actually, re-recorded some harmony and drum tracks), but drums are still messed up. I've corrected them as much as I can, but really fed up. Here is source midi file. If anyone will fix drum tracks here, I'll complete it into beautiful style within minutes. doo-woop-rock.mid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 Had an order from Russian customer. He decided to donate these 3 styles to community. While they're based on the Russian songs, they're still quite usable for other languages, too They are as follows: gubin.ac7 - Andrey Gubin - "Solnyshko". This was quite popular song in China in mid 2010s, since was covered by DJ Sunny - "Midnight DJ(Would you love me)" and took top places in C-Pop charts. Simple dance tune, but groovy. Korolem.ac7 - This is from a Soviet Cartoon "In the blue sea, in the white foam", fancy reggaeish-dance style. ZVjdut4.ac7 - Mirazh - "Zvezdi nas jdut" - late soviet, spaceish-style, dark electro-dance. gubin.ac7 korolem.ac7 ZVjdut4.ac7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
