Hi everyone anyone has suggetsions on free repositories for extra patterns for QY100 (or 70)? AFAIK, there are those (paid) available from planet keyboard, anc the free ones by JayB (thanks).

Any other pointers?

...and my best wishes for 2022! :)

you could find one of those midi file megazips with millions of popular tunes,
then drop a *.mid onto a DAW such as Cubase to split it to individual parts, which can then be edited and exported as separate *.mid files.
had some fun doing this in Orion years ago.

so how to then get it onto the QY - is it the Datafiler that can import single track *.mids? somehow it isn't via the memory card slot, as i recall. that only handles full 'Style' files.

and a Style is a kind of MIDI file: basically it's the 6 (or fewer) sections, concatenated into a single file, with headers for each section - is that it? i looked at software for this and discovered the term CASM -it actually covers many different instrument 'style' formats. so here were some of the candidates, and there seem to be some new links:
jososoft CASM editor (and much else) :


there's another called CASMedit ( i have versions 2.00 and 2.4)
info here:




most seem to prioritise PSR keyboards and others (Tyros?) but should be able to do QY.

don't know if any others/better candidates.

Thanks everyone for the answers! I already record stuff either on the Senior brother (QY700) or in a DAW (Reaper user here, since ages), and then send 4/8 tracks to the 100. I admit it, I'm under a laziness attack, and would prefer reducong edit time... The suggestion Eric made above is a thing worth trying, looks a promising effort. As many of you would suspect, I have several of those MIDI megazips... they faithfully modev in years from floppies to tape tp CDROM to the home server... wonder if they still work, and that's a second suggestion (thanks QYedit!).

And thanks to Kaltar and Eric to have reacter to my stirring and revived the files section!

;)

was also overcome with laziness ultimately: that interface looks too daunting.
we should petition jososoft to do a QY70/100 style creator :-D

consider: each 'section' of a style is 8 'phrases' - single channel/track midi files.
(is that covered by the jososoft Casmeditor? tbh it's awkward opening both of those, and i can't see how i'd make a style efficiently that way)
personally, if i was going to do this now, i would want to take single lines from midi files and save them as individual *.mid files, then loading them as phrases, so there would need to be a phrase 'pool', separating melodic and rhythmic, and you chuck anything you want in there, can audition it with a click, once or looping, and then drag from there onto track slots in 'sections' (as 'phrases', which is what we do with QYs) - and you get your style like that, and can audition it with your computer XG/GM soundset (or XG Gold or something like that) before saving it and transferring to your QY.

(i found it easier and more immediate to import bits of midi files to instrument patterns in Orion. mainly using snippets of midi breakbeats, but also tried nicking well-known basslines, taking bits of latin percussion etc - chuck it in DAW, split to separate tracks, get the bit you want, export a new *.mid. import that to a pattern slot assigned to a VST instrument, and done.)
