After a long slog, I’m happy to announce my first collection of Yamaha DJX styles converted for PSR and Genos. Have fun!
The ZIP file (link below) decompresses into a directory named “DJX_for_PSR_v1”. There are three subdirectories:
- Styles
- SFF1
- Readme
You will find styles for current and recent Yamaha arranger keyboards in the Styles subdirectory. These styles are in SFF2 format also known as Style File Format (SFF) Guitar Edition (GE). The SFF1 directory contains the same styles in the older SFF1 format. The Readme subdirectory contains helpful information about the original DJX styles (e.g., original tempo, key, scale, etc.)
DJX styles differ from conventional arranger styles. Many of the original DJX styles have chord progressions built in and respond to root note only. That is, they do not respond to chord type. If the style was programmed for minor (or major), it will always be minor (or major).
DJX styles have one INTRO, one ENDING and two MAIN variations (with fills). Please don’t get excited if you see only one INTRO and one ENDING! I added my own OTS buttons and choice of factory multipad. DJX styles have eight total tracks, four of which are rhythm (drum) tracks You can mute or enable individual drum parts in the Mixer.
Give AUTO FILL IN a try! You need to enable AUTO FILL IN manually on the front panel of your arranger. Cut between sections, mute/add style parts and remix on the fly in real-time. These styles are designed for interaction.
You are free to re-voice, edit and modify these styles in any way that you see fit. You will need to use computer-based software (Jørgen Sørensen’s tools, Mixmaster, etc.) if you want to re-voice the Kick and Snare parts. Yamaha’s Style Creator does not let you select a drum kit for any channel other than 9 and 10.

I am still working on conversions, but wanted to push out this preview release. I continue to learn about conversion and I am experimenting with styles that follow chord type (major/minor).
Haven’t heard a DJX (PSR-D1)? Check out the DJX shrine at Synthmania.
