Creating Your Own Styles

The Concert Performer contains 150 built-in Styles covering a wide variety of musical genres. There are two powerful features that allow you to edit any of these Styles to better suit your musical tastes, or even create your own Style entirely from scratch! These are the Conductor and the Style Maker.

The Conductor allows you to edit the Style data and personalize it to your taste.

The Style Maker allows you to create Styles of your own.

There are three ways of using this feature: Make a New Style, Edit an Existing Style, and Phrase Combination.

Conductor

The Conductor is used to edit Preset data.

Easy Style Edit

This is an easy way to edit the Style data. The CP built-in styles are comprised

 

three different types, Full, Intimate, and Solo Piano Styles. A Full Style

 

consists of six instrument tracks called Sections. These are the Drums,

 

Bass, and four Accompaniment tracks. The Intimate Styles have four

 

Sections, Drum, Bass, And Two Accompaniment tracks. The Solo piano

 

Styles have two Accompaniment Tracks (Right and Left hand) and no Drum

 

or Bass tracks.

 

When you play a Style, each of these sections plays a musical Phrase

 

composed for that type of instrument. Each section can play one of four

 

different musical phrases, one for each of the four variations within a Style.

 

Easy Edit lets you assign which of these four Phrases will be played by each

 

section for each of the four variations within the style. This means you can

 

mix and match the different phrases for each section to create your own

 

unique arrangements. Once you are satisfied with your edits, you can save

 

your Easy Style edits to the PRESET STYLE.
