Custom style parameter list

“Custom Style 1/2” page

“Tempo” cell: Specify the tempo of the rhythm style. This is adjustable in a range of 40–240.

“Damper Enable” check box: For each key- board part, you can specify whether or not the damper pedal will apply to the sounds played from the keyboard.

Upp1: Sound of the Upper1 if [LAYER] switch or [SPLIT] switch are on, or sound of the key- board if [LAYER] switch and [SPLIT] switch are off

Low/Upp2: The left-hand sound for [SPLIT], or the sound layered on “Upp1” for [LAYER].

“Custom Style 2/2” page

Automatic accompaniment

You can make the settings listed below for

 

each accompaniment part: Drum, Perc, Bass,

 

Acc1, Acc2, Acc3, Upp1, Upp2, and Low.

 

“Part” cell: To change the part, use the cells “”, “” or the dial, [VALUE] switches.

For the Upp1, Upp2, and Low parts, it is not possible to set the “Prog.” cell, “Reverb” cell, and “Chorus” cell.

“Wrap Around” cell: This can be specified for the Bass, Acc1, Acc2, and Acc3 parts. This allows the pitch to be shifted upward (or downward) by one octave if the accompani- ment of that part becomes unnaturally low (or high). The range of settings is “Org, 1– 12.” With a setting of “Org,” the style will use its original setting.

For example based on a C chord, a Wrap- Around setting of “1” would cause the accompaniment to be shifted downward one octave when a C# chord was specified. With a setting of “2,” the accompaniment would be shifted downward one octave when a “D” chord was specified.

With setting “1”

C chord Bass pattern 1

C# chord 1 by a semitone and lower by an octave 2

D chord 1 by a semitone and lower by an octave 3
