Style Old Format Converter is a software program for converting YAMAHA keyboard style files (SFF1 style format).
Download Page - Program Help - Technical Problems - Compatibility Issues
This program will convert SFF1 format styles for newer/bigger keyboards to run at older/smaller keyboards.
To convert SFF2 format styles (used in Tyros 3 and newer models) use Style Format 2 Converter.
Read about style format differences and how to convert between models at Style File Features.
The program can be run in 2 modes:
• Convert a single style file
• Convert all style files in a folder
NOTE:
During the years the Mega Voices have got more complex, and the number has increased dramatically.
This means that the conversion of Mega Voices in some cases is rather problematic; and hence an individual revoicing of the style might be required.
After conversion the style might need some tweaking:
• To revoice the style: Use the Style Creator at your keyboard or my Style Revoicer software.
• To edit the OTS data: Use the Style Creator at your keyboard or my OTS Editor software.
• To edit the MIDI data: Use the Style Creator at your keyboard or your sequencer program.
• To edit the CASM data: Use my CASM Editor software.
