Creating an Original Style (User Style)

The KF-90 has built-in Music Styles in a variety of genres, but you can also create your own original styles.

An original style is called a “User Style.”

You can use either of the two methods described below to create a User Style with the KF-90.

Style Composer

This method combines the KF-90’s onboard styles to create a new style.

You can create a new style just by selecting from among the Rhythm, Bass, Accompaniment 1, Accompaniment 2, and Accompaniment 3 parts from different styles.

Style Converter (p. 134)

This method extracts the portions you need from songs composed with the 16-track sequencer to create a new style. When you’re composing a song, there’s no need to specify all the chords. You can specify just some of the chords, and working on that, the KF-90 automatically extrapolates the other chords, and arranges the style.

The Style Converter has an “Auto Mode” for creating Music Styles simply from a song with a single chord, and a “Manual Mode” for creating a Music Style from a song of three chords (major, minor, and diminished seventh).
