Why do our keyboard styles sound so realistic?

A style is far more than just a technical pattern. Many off-the-shelf styles are created on a computer or directly in the keyboard – precise, but often lifeless and without any real groove.

Our styles from Keys Experts are different from all the others!
They are recorded live exclusively by experienced musicians and then programmed perfectly for your keyboard model by professionals. In this way, we make full use of all your instrument’s capabilities – and when you play, you can feel the difference: the unmistakable character of a real band.

• Drums & Percussion: Every groove is recorded live by a drummer and converted using drum-to-MIDI technology. The result: authentic beats, dynamic fill-ins, and natural flow.
• Guitars: With “Guitar-to-MIDI,” typical voicings and picking styles are created – it sounds as if a guitarist were playing right next to you.
• Brass: Thanks to the brass controller, crescendos, decrescendos, and subtle articulations are reproduced realistically – for lively melodic lines.
• Effects: Precisely matched insert effects give each instrument its characteristic sound, whether it’s a Ricky King guitar or a Kenny G saxophone.

Every style offers:

• 3 intros (from count-in to the original melodic song intro)
• 4 variations for verse, chorus & bridge
• 4 fill-ins
• 1 break
• 3 endings with fitting dramatic structure, including the original ending of the title

This lets you arrange songs flexibly – from universally usable to title-specific styles.
Important: To use them in OAX instruments, the “Yamaha Style Converter” activation is required.
