Yamaha uses a lot of internal data formats; and only documents and publishes very few. Mainly only the MIDI related data.
This means that I have to spend many hours of revealing the internal data; and where and how this information is stored in files. In front of a particular keyboard.
Luckily a number of volunteers - having a diversity of keyboards at their disposal - have helped me in this tedious job. But still some data remains to be revealed.
This page describes how you can assist me in updating my software programs for use in YOUR keyboard model.
I need Multi Pad numbers; Harmony/Arpeggio numbers; and Style numbers for various models.
For use in OTS Editor and OTS Viewer software programs I miss the internal Multi Pad Numbers for Genos 2; Genos; PSR SX900; PSR SX700; PSR SX600; PSR S975; PSR S775; PSR S670; PSR A5000; PSR A3000; PSR A2000; PSR A350; and PSR OR700 keyboards. (Note: The internal Multi Pad Numbers are not the numbers in the manual.)
To get the internal numbers, go to the MultiPad data page in your Manual. You will see something like:
1. Now open a style (any will do)
2. Select One Touch Setting 1
3. Change the MultiPad to MultiPad number 1 in the manual data sheet (e.g. E.Gtr16BtCut1)
4. Select One Touch Setting 2
5. Change the MultiPad to MultiPad number 2 in the manual data sheet (e.g. E.Gtr16BtCut2)
6. Select One Touch Setting 3
7. Change the MultiPad to MultiPad number 3 in the manual data sheet (e.g. E.Gtr16BtCut3)
8. Select One Touch Setting 4
9. Change the MultiPad to MultiPad number 4 in the manual data sheet (e.g. FunkyGtr16Bt1)
10. Save the style as a user style as mp1-4.sty
11. Now repeat this sequence; but Change the MultiPad to MultiPad no 5, 6, 7 and 8
12. Save the style as a user style as mp5-8.sty
13. Now repeat this sequence; but Change the MultiPad to MultiPad no 9, 10, 11 and 12
14. Save the style as a user style as mp9-12.sty
15. etc.
16. Mail all the saved user styles to me. Find my address in the top menu of this page.

For use in OTS Editor software program I miss the internal Harmony/Arpeggio Numbers for Genos 2; Genos; PSR A5000; PSR A3000; CVP 809/805/709/705/701. (Note: The internal numbers are not the order numbers in the manual.)
