Title: MY SONGS played on Tyros 4
Post by: Gerard on February 12, 2012, 06:36:56 PM
I may be getting a Tyros 4 to play around with and use as a backup.
Question:
Can the songs I made and saved in vArranger MY SONGS be copied to the Tyros 4 and played there?
I know only Yahama styles would be eligible not the Ketron styles.
This way, once a song is saved in vArranger, I would be able to play it also on the Tyros 4.

You can only copy the yamaha styles files from your song folder to the Tyros 4.

No changes are saved into the style, but into another file (.Sty2...) close to the style

Gerard,
I own a Tyros 4 and can tell you the Tyros 4 does not mix well with vArranger.  You can play all the styles from the Tyros 4 in vArranger but you can not create songs in vArranger and transfer them to the Tyros 4.  Neither does the Tyros 4 make a good controller for vArranger.  I am told that is because Yamaha has a "different" way of implementing midi controls.

If I transposed a song down -3 in vArranger and saved it in MY SONGS, copied the .sty to Tyros 4, And played the .sty on Tyros 4, would the .sty come up transposed -3.

So, all the changes are in the Sty2 file?

Yes. I wanted to never make changes to the source files, so you can always recover in case of mistake. Just delete the .sty2, and you will be again at beginning.
