Styles & Song Styles for Yamaha Arranger Keyboards – Complete Guide

Yamaha arranger keyboards are everywhere: home players, churches, live entertainers, studios…
Whether you use a compact PSR, a powerful Genos 2, a CVP Clavinova or the legendary QY modules, Yamaha styles are the core of your playing experience.
They turn simple left-hand chords into a full backing band: drums, bass, guitars, pads, brass – all reacting in real time to your chord changes.

PlanetKeyboard has been focused on Yamaha styles and song styles for a long time.
This page is your starting point to understand the Yamaha arranger universe and to choose the right styles or song styles packs for your keyboard.

Main Yamaha families we cover

PSR & PSR-E series

PSR and PSR-E keyboards are ideal for beginners and home players. They come with a decent selection of factory styles,
but external style packs can dramatically expand the repertoire: Ballads, Disco, Latin, Rock, Pop, EDM, Jazz, Ballroom, traditional music and more, from the 60s up to current charts.

PSR-S & PSR-SX series

PSR-S and PSR-SX (PSR-S950, PSR-S970, PSR-S975, PSR-SX920, PSR-SX900, PSR-SX720, PSR-SX600, etc.) are powerful mid / upper-mid range arrangers.
They are excellent for semi-pro and pro use.
Our packs for these models include a wide choice of genres and decades, with dedicated One Touch Settings (OTS) tailored to each target keyboard so you can instant enjoy new right hand settings.

Tyros & Genos / Genos 2

Tyros (1/2/3/4/5) and Genos / Genos 2 are Yamaha’s flagship arranger workstations. They are designed for demanding performers who need top sounds and flexible arrangements.
Our Yamaha packs for these instruments include:

  • large general-purpose collections,

  • song styles based on famous hits across many eras (60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, today),

  • dedicated OTS for the specific model listed in the product title.

CVP Clavinova, DGX and others

For CVP Clavinova and DGX models that support styles,
PlanetKeyboard offers carefully selected packs covering the styles that make the most sense for these instruments: Ballads, Easy listening, Jazz standards, Pop, Latin, Worship and more.

QY100 & QY700 – ultra-rare to find content for your QY : It’s here at PlanetKeyboard

PlanetKeyboard is the only place in the world where you will find dedicated style content for Yamaha QY100 and QY700.
These iconic arrangers/sequencers modules are still used by many musicians, and we provide unique style material specifically prepared for them.

Pack types: Premium vs Budget

To match different needs and budgets, our style catalogue for Yamaha keyboards is organised into two main “stylepack type” of packs:

  • Premium packs

    • fewer styles per pack,

    • more complex / complete programming,

    • carefully curated selection,

    • ideal when you want maximum quality and depth for live use or recording.

  • Budget-oriented packs

    • larger number of styles per pack,

    • still musical and usable, but slightly less complex / detailed,

    • perfect if you mainly need a huge repertoire to cover many situations at a very reasonable price.

In both cases, each pack clearly states the supported Yamaha models and, where applicable, includes dedicated OTS for those models.
If the detailed style list is not present on the page you’ll have a form that you can fill and we will be happy to send it to you.

Delivery & installation (Yamaha specifics)

All Yamaha style packs from PlanetKeyboard are delivered by download as standard.
Optionally, you can order delivery on USB key as an extra service, it includes the transfer of your purchased style(s) pack(s) on USB stick and wordwide shipping.

  • To enjoy download delivered styles packs on modern Yamaha keyboards, you simply:

    1. Download the ZIP file,

    2. Unzip it on your computer,

    3. Copy the styles to a USB stick,

    4. Load them from the [USER] / [USB] sections of your keyboard.

  • For older Yamaha models with floppy disks (or floppy-drive emulators):

    • You may need to transfer styles to floppy disks,

    • or to a special USB stick used by your floppy-drive emulator.

    • In that case, you must use your computer and the software supplied with your emulator and an additional usb stick of your own to copy our styles onto your emulator’s formated USB stick.

    • PlanetKeyboard’s optional USB delivery cannot be used directly inside a floppy emulator because of model-specific formatting: you always need to transfer the files from our USB to your emulator formated USB first.
