10 New Converted Styles From Tyros 4/5 and MIDI with MP3 Demo

[✪epereirajle]

As we can see, PA5X doesn't need to have a flat sound. I believe most of the original styles are flat because they are planned to be played on external amplifier with desired mixing, but to play at home, it's nice to adjust the styles to sound more like Yamahas, which means more reverb...
When I saw some comparison on youtube of Genos and PA5X most people say that Genos sounds better, but to me, is mainly becaise the use more reverb on styles and sounds.
Of course some SA2 are very unique and smooth, but many of the DNC2 of Korg sound more realistic to me while some SA2 sound a bit artificial, although nice to hear.  Both are nice but I don't think I will ever return to Yamaha.

Well said.  I actually also added reverb on the drum, that can be removed if desired.
I will try doing as you said, adding ambience instead of reverb, and see the difference. Maybe I can get better results :)
I like to convert and adjust styles almost as much as I enjoy playing the songs.
I have many more "ongoing" conversions. Some sound very bad since the beggining and are more difficult. Also I intend to learn more about how to create guitar tracks or maybe hear the easest way is to hear many of the factory styles and select some suitable guitar tracks that can be "borrowed". St the moment I'm more focused on instrumental/cinematic styles.

Thanks for a VERY interesting comment about the Pa5X versus the Yamaha.
I absolutely agree with everything you say.
The Pa5X is mixed more neutrally, which makes it easy to mix, and the sound library consists mostly of neutral sounds, while the Yamaha has a significant amount of natural ambience (Genuine) in the sounds themselves, which makes mixing difficult, because the sounds' inherent amount of ambience interferes with effects that are added later.
In my opinion, the Yamaha often has a bit too much reverb, which is very difficult to reduce if desired, while a Korg style can be made absolutely DRY with ease, which is a great advantage for further precise mixing.
I always use the Drum Editor to add Genuine Ambience to drums, and usually remove any artificial reverb if present.
Genos uses artificial reverb in addition, which many people think sounds good, but I am convinced that the Pa5X with Genuine Ambience on drums and artificial reverb on other sounds sounds much more natural.
Of the Yamahas I prefer the 9000 Pro, Tyros 4 and DGX-670, which have a more natural soundstage than other Yamahas.
The 9000 Pro has an open soundstage that even the Pa5X cannot match.
But all in all I will probably never go back to Yamaha, and will soon get my new Grandstage X - KORG FOREVER !

That is impressive. Your mp3 demos of the styles sound great. I have SX900 so I know all of these styles, but I went ahead and downloaded your conversions in case I wind up getting the PA5X.

Thank you Rich! Most of these styles I remember more or less how they sounded in my old Tyros that I sold almost 2 years ago, but I don't try to clone exactly how they sound in the Yamahas, instead I try to find best suitable sounds in the PA5X that works well with the style, so the style may be similar but with different instruments. But styles with special drumkit and with megavoices, they are more difficult. Fortunately I'm more interested in instrumental styles.
