Rolando A. Asuncion Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Ok thanks Just Alex. I have tried the converted styles into my ct x3000 and it worked although the volume of drums is not so loud. Is there a way to edit the volume of each rhythm part? I am a beginner so i do not know yet how do those things on my keyboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolando A. Asuncion Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Just an update. I already learned how to edit each track in rhythm parts using the guidelines of Sir Chandler Holloway. Thank you all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 While haven't done anything interesting yet (too busy with other projects), at least have some information. Most styles, converted from Korg keyboards, have very specific structure, so while they're playable on Yamaha, they won't work on Casio as intended. This is why I've failed with conversion of country styles from Korg.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 A style for "My heart will go on" By Celine Dion. There is a slight error - chord1 in variations 3 and 4 playing something weird, but you just can mute that part and that's all. 16BtBall.AC7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Thanks to help of some forum members, now I can create fully featured styles with 4 parts. Here just a quick test, the already posted TechnoPolis style, ported from PSR-2000, but now with all 4 variations.

Just Alex Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 A lot of people are interested in relatively modern, high quality styles, available in so called "packs" for Yamaha keyboard. My good suggestion is to forget about converting them, because while they technically use styles, they heavily rely on samples - for example, instead of of single drum sound, there is a tiny loop recorded. Same for phrases and sequences. So in style file there will be just rhytmic garbage. I'm attaching a mp3 file for reference - it was created on Yamaha (not by me), using one of such expansion packs, which has a lot new samples. So if I even be able to convert it to casio, it just won't sound. acdemo.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 So we have to revert to elder, nostalgic styles Here is another one - Savage - "Only you", with all 4 parts and intro/ending. Voices are GM, haven't adjusted specially for CT-X series, since received complaints from users of other models of casio keyboards that some styles sound not so good, when using non-gm sounds. savage-onlyyou.ac7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted April 19, 2021 Author Share Posted April 19, 2021 Did this weekend, a simple, cute style for Besame Mucho - has only Main A and it's fill-in, but quite enough for this simple song Maybe I'll add another variation later, but not sure. besame-mucho.ac7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Was checking my archive and found a style, working on which I started back in 1997!. I was using Sound Blaster AWE64 and Band-In-A-Box then. Here's quick demo Anyone needs a style like this? should I port it to Casio... technospeak.mp3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree that it is best to use GM sounds. Actually I bought the CT-X800 esp. because I think that the rhythms sound so much better with the AiX sounds.

Just Alex Posted April 25, 2021 Author Share Posted April 25, 2021 Yes, this midi was played on CT-X5000, using EdmPerSy and a custom made sound for chords. Ok, I'll finish it to style next week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted April 27, 2021 Author Share Posted April 27, 2021 The converter, which is being developed by one of our forum members, is really advancing, so, while being in pre-alpha stage, sometimes it delivers quite usable results. Here it is - The carpenters - "Top of the world". topworld.ac7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Here it is, the my old style I've finished just now. This is great 90s dance/club style, with some pizzicato strings added. Harmonically, based on "Don't speak" by No Doubt, but set to dance mood It has nice intro, nice ending, all 4 parts and fill-ins. Some instrument sounds, like piano chords in part C, are not yet optimized, but it is still quite usable. Special thanks to a forum member, which helped with ac7 style joiner (this file was made in two parts, using the excel converter, one had A/B parts and another had C/D parts and they were merged using his converter) TechnoSpeak.ac7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted May 6, 2021 Author Share Posted May 6, 2021 I'm making some more advanced styles, mainly for 80-90's synthpop, like Kylie Minogue, A-ha, ABC, Sabrina, Erasure and so on. These styles do require custom sounds to sound better. So in which range I should save them to not interfere with your own custom sounds? at the beginning of the custom sounds, say locations 801-810 or at the end, say at 890-900 (or whatever it is).

Just Alex Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 A good countryish/balladish guitar style with nice intro and ending. All 4 parts of course present. The sax sound at chord 5 track can be replaced with harmonica and will sound great, but it needs to be shifted 1 octave up.

Just Alex Posted May 8, 2021 Author Share Posted May 8, 2021 So here is the same style, just with sax intro at intro replaced with harmonica and shifted octave up - sounds much better in my opinion. shoopbea-harmonica.ac7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted May 10, 2021 Author Share Posted May 10, 2021 This style has one of the nicest guitar solos/ending I ever heard in styles. Also, there are some MegaVoices ported. So enjoy Rocky Ballad.AC7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Alex Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 This is conversion from Yamaha's "Entertainer pack" - "DiscoFoxSchlager" - quite universal and well endowed style, with nice intro/ending. Suitable for Eruption, Modern Talking and anything else from 80s, what you can hear on GoldStar TV channel (German folks will understand ) I've adjusted a couple of sounds, to better suit CT-X voice capabilities, so now it sounds way better than from direct conversion.

Just Alex Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 Was experimenting with voices, and discovered that some synth sounds better sound when played as guitar, compared to "native" guitar sounds This is the very simple style, usable for BoneyM - "Bahama mama" and other, similar style disco songs. But voices are from 90's trance style era, so sound quite interesting Bahama.AC7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Alex Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Thanks a lot, but this is not only my work, some this and other forum members are also collaborating in terms of conversion software, voice maps and so on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ijomne Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Alex, could you upload these to the downloads style section perhaps? I would love to be able to get all these styles, some of the Yamaha ones are suitable for Indonesian or similar Asian music especially the electronic style ones and schlager/80s style ones.

Just Alex Posted May 14, 2021 Author Share Posted May 14, 2021 Sorry I didn't get what you mean, you're having trouble downloading these styles from here? Or you want me upload something different, like styles used for Indonesian music? Unfortunately, I do not have any Yamaha styles for Indonesian music (actually, maybe there are some, just I don't know their names) since my knowledge in Indonesian music is limited within 3 songs - Didi Kempot - Cucak Rowo, Barakatak - Buka Bukaan, Tika & Tresna - inek but if you will provide some, I can convert them. Meanwhile, while Casio AC7 format lacks many useful features Yamaha styles have, we have another, but very useful feature, which Yamaha lacks - our fill ins can be as long as we like, and on Yamaha, they're limited with 1 measure long fill-ins!

Ijomne Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I'm interested in these styles. Keep in mind with the Karo styles there may be a bell thing (vibes, marimba, such like that) which you can replace with a sound from the China kit which has a similar vibe to the actual songs (around the highest octave and a little below) which also has some similar percussion to the KN2600 keyboard used in these songs.
