HELP: what is the correct procedure to listen to downloaded file styles on the CVP?

[ravishankar9992000]

PHIL WROTE:
To play the styles from the disk...

Press the D (Style) button

Press the NEXT button (top right of the screen) to scroll to the FLOPPY PAGE

From there you can select and play the styles on the floppy or copy and paste them to the user section.
Phil


RAVI ANSWER:
Thanks Phil for your suggestion but what you say I have already done.

The problem is that when finally I reach the floppy section on my CVP nothing at all appear!!!

It's quite a frustrating situation knowing that while other CVP users seem to easily download style files from the web and then play them on their CVP still I am not able in doing so.

Well, let me ask one thing first: is the .sty the correct extension for the CVP style files?

You see, actually the above mentioned file extension (.sty) belongs to style files ready for yamaha psr but somebody stated that these psr style files are good for the CVP as well?

The download page is the following:

http://psrtutorial.com/Files/F_Yama.../f_factory.html

Who knows, maybe I am searching inthe wrong web site...so, if it is the case why someone don't suggest me one good address in order to download nice style files for my CVP?

This is the third e-mail that I am posting but till now I could not solve my problem...hurry up guys, I'm waiting for your precious and experienced advices!

always yours

I'm puzzled.

Have you unzipped the files onto your floppy disk. It is easy in especially in Windows XP to read files from a floppy without realising they are in a zipped folder.

The link that you suppled was dead when I tried it. I have downloaded various files from the psrtutorial.com site without any problems.

Perhaps you should try downloading style files from different areas of the site.

Please keep us updated on how you are getting on.

The .sty extension is correct.
I was also going to ask if you had unzipped them first.
Check the files on your disk to see if the .sty extension appears on the files.
You should see the extension on your computer if you have File Explorer set for details.
Some of the file names may be truncated when viewed on the CVP.
Most, if not all of the styles from the PSR site will work.

Ravi,
I just downloaded the Tyros style files and tried them on my 207 and they do work. Give them a try.
They will almost fill 2 floppies when unzipped. Unzip them to a folder on your HD first, then copy as many as you can onto a floppy.

Dear brothers

I have done as you told me: the .sty files have been downloaded from the psr tutorial site, then unzipped and transferred on the same empty floppy provided me from yamaha at the time of purchasing the CVP.

I have checked in my computer if everything was alright and so it was!

I have created two folders in the floppy named respectively "FStyles 9k" and "FStyels 350" (these are the same name given from psr tutorial website).

Well, here is the point: the two folders are appearing on my CVP screen but as soon as I open them not a single style file is appearing!

I am confused as much as worried because this is happening from the very begining since i got my CVP 209 last year.

At the beginning I thought this problem was due to my fault but now I sart thinking that something wrong must be in the same CVP: what could it be?
The worst thing is that living in India I don't have any idea to whom I can contact for assistance and repairing.

Who knows, maybe the solution is simple but without your help I cannot mke it!

Yes, the CVP 209 has a lot of songs as much as styles but after an year or so of continuos using and listening them we can get bored, do you understand me, don't you? And now, knowing that although I can download any style from internet still I cannot use them nor I can get any kind of help from an hypotetical indian dealer well, you can immagine how I feell...!

I took five years to put apart the right amount in order to purchase this digital piano. I purchased it fron Holland trough an italian dealer for an enormous price, for me of course, to not to about the custom tax that I had to pay: it was the 60% on the CVP 209 original price!!! It was a very, very expensive task and what more...NO WARRANTY AT ALL!!!

I've been handling my CVP with utmost care and been a professional pianist I don't think I have done any mistake of any sort or whatsoever.
Yes, it's fantastic! The sound of the Grand Paino is warm, soft as much powerful and beautiful, for me it is like pure, fragrant, melting butter in my hand and so soon I was in love with it! But, of course, after some time you want to try each and every CVP capabilities and possibilities, and so I did and I was amazed!

One year has passed since I got my CVP but till now I could not prepare myself for any piano concert because soon my clavinova amplifier started emitting a very loud as much as strange sound and till now I did not find a yamaha dealer in India* who can handle the problem plus now I realize that I can never use any style downloaded from internet...I feel I have wasted my money as much as my time and energy!

*(you see everybody in India say "I am engineer of this, engineer of that" but the truth is that here people lack in professionality as much as honesty; as you know India is a very controversial country...what to do!...Om Namah Shivaya!!!)

Well, I'm sorry if I bothered you by wasting your precious time in order to narrate my little CVP story...anyway if anyone of you still is having an helpuful mood towards my CVP problems, please, your advices will be appreciated the most.

We never know, my CVP problems can be that of somebodyelse in the future and so your advices and problems solving suggestions will stay forever on this CVPUG archive has an helping hand for those less fortunate like me!

Thanks a lot

RAVI

I am far from an expert on your problem, but it sounds to me as if the files in your directory do not have the correct externsions on them, so your yamaha is not seeing them. They should have the same three letter name to the right as other music files.

[cowpast]

Ravi,
I have just followed the exact procedure that you have described below.
When I open the folders, the files all appear and they work.
I can't understand why you can see the folders but not the files on your CVP.

Assuming that...

1- you have done exactly what you have described.

and..
2- You have checked the disk that you created on your computer and the style files are indeed in your folders with the correct extension (.sty)

and...
3- You have tried another formatted floppy to insure you are not using a bad disk, then this procedure should have worked.

Can you play MIDI files from your floppy drive on your CVP??

[wesrahn2002]

Just had a thought!

Copy only your unzipped "FStyles9K" files to a floppy disk without using any folders on the floppy disk. You should have have 66 separate sytle files and no folders on the disk. Then follow the procedures already outlined on these different posts to access them. When you access the floppy drive there will be seven pages of styles to chose from indicated on your style screen. Pick one of the styles and it should work.

On a side issue. India has one of the best known technical universities in the world. There should be someone near you with the technical skills to provide some hands on help if your CVP is broken.
