Roland 2 Creating a User Style

Before you compose a Style

Broadly speaking, you can create a user style in either of the

following two ways.

Editing an existing style

You can create a new User Style by changing the Tones used

in a previously saved Style, adjusting the volume balance

between parts, or adjusting the settings of dedicated Style

effects.

Creating a new style

You can initialize a new Style and then use realtime or step

recording to create the performance data for each division.

The performance data you create can be edited using the

various editing functions or the Microscope function.

You can create performance data for all divisions of a single

chord, and then use the EZ Convert function to easily create

division data for the remaining chords.
