Part 1: Understanding the Compatibility Wall

Before diving into the conversion process, it’s crucial to understand why a Yamaha style won’t work immediately on an AKX10.

Yamaha SFF (Style File Format): Yamaha uses SFF1 (older models like PSR-740) and SFF2 (PSR-S series, Tyros). These contain CASM (Chord Assistant Module) data that dictates how notes transpose with chords.
Medeli AKX10 Format: Medeli OS v1.3 and later natively reads .STY files, but it expects a specific MIDI note mapping for drum kits (usually GM or Medeli’s own mapping) and different marker positions (Main A, Fill BA, etc.).

Bottom line: A direct copy-paste rarely works. You’ll get “Unsupported Format” errors or garbled drum sounds. But with the right tools, you can bypass this.

Step 2: Open Style Converter Utility

Launch the program.
In the Input Format dropdown, select Yamaha SFF1 (most older styles) or SFF2 (Tyros/Genos styles). Note: The AKX10 prefers SFF1; some SFF2 elements may be lost.
In the Output Format dropdown, select Medeli (if listed). If not listed, select GM/GS as a generic output, but you will then need to manually assign drum maps.
