Hello everybody,
I recently purchased a Yamaha PSR E433, which I find a very good keyboard in the low/middle-class price range.
I would like to extend the styles capabilities of the keyboard, which can stock up to 5 user styles in its flash memory.
The problem is that it is almost impossible to find styles which are already tailored for the E433. The only alternative is to convert public-domain styles that already exist for other keyboards (PSR S series, Tyros series...) and adapt them for the PSR E433.
Alas, the user guide says nothing about this.
So here is my question: could anybody here tell me more about the style structure of the PSR E433? In particular :
- what is the file format?
- what is the maximum file size limit?
- what about OTS?
- what about CASM?
- what is the maximum size limit of each part (intro, variation I, variation II, ending) of each style?
- is it possible to revoice an existing style that is using GM voice in order to use the better-sounding panel voices instead?
Well, you got the line. It is style programming that I want to dig into. Although this cannot be done directly on the keyboard itself, there is plenty of software to do it on the computer, but I don't know where to begin...
Any hint will be helpful. Also, if you have already done some style tweaking for the PSR E403, E413 or E423, I think that the same parameters should more or less be applicable, at least to a certain extent, to the E433.
Thanks for helping,
Vinciane.
