There are a lot of Yamaha styles for sale at http://www.yamahamusicsoft.com/en/home. You have to select the desired Yamaha keyboard model first.

You may also be able to find free style files for Yamaha keyboards by searching for "free Yamaha style files" or something like that-- you might want to include the type of style you're looking for, such as "free tabla styles for Yamaha," or "free jazz styles for Yamaha."

Generally speaking, free style files aren't going to sound as good as ones you have to pay for, but you also have to watch out for people who will be only too happy to sell you collections of style files that they found for free on the internet.

I've never looked much, because I don't have a Casio that can load additional rhythms... but here are some I've found:

https://www.keyboardforums.com/threads/163-free-extra-rhythms-for-casio-ctk-5000.22540/
http://www.casio-europe.com/euro/emi/rhythmsspecial/
http://www.casiomusicforums.com/index.php?/topic/4473-50-free-new-rhythm-styles-to-download/ (same as above but with instructions for loading)
http://music.casio.com/e/671/rhythm.html (not sure if these are duplicates of above; probably are)
(shows how to create your own rhythms on a Casio that has a rhythm editor)

There may be more, but searching for "free casio rhythms" yields numerous false hits from shareware and freeware sites that list any programs with "free," "casio," or "rhythms" in their descriptions.

I don't know of any style files that are specifically created for the PSR-I425 or I455, and no dumps of their built-in styles. They use XGlite, not XG, so they can't use all of the voices and features that are available to full-XG keyboards. They're also limited as far as the style sections they can use (A and B only, plus fill-ins, intro, and ending), as well as the maximum style file size they can load. But other than that, they should be able to play many XG-compatible styles-- although some may need to be revoiced for the best results-- so you can search for "free Yamaha styles" or "free XG styles."

Here is a set of 5/4, 5/8, 7/8, 8/8, and 12/8 rhythms from the old WK-3XXX boards. I have already converted them to the new AC7 format. This is not much, but it is all that I have and all that I know about in the way of odd time signatures. I am certain that they will not be exactly what you are looking for, but if you have a CTK/WK-7XXX, it may give you something to edit and build on. If you have one of the CTK/WK-6XXX models, then you will be somewhat limited in the edits you can make. If you are looking for eastern or mid-eastern rhythms, then they will need extensive re-voicing.

Look here for Yamaha styles:

You will need to search manually through the various "Collections" to find what you are looking for.

Good luck !
