Yamaha CVP-201 Using Style Files

86 CVP-201
You can load and pla y style files created in the Style File Format
either from optional Yamaha “Style File” disks, or from disks
containing custom style files you’ve created yourself.
Using Style Files
The Style File Format is Yamaha’s original auto-accompaniment for-
mat, which has evolved through years of development and refinement.
The Style File Format features a unique conversion system that allows
you to play exceptionally high-quality accompaniments with a variety of
chord types. In addition to the internal styles, the Style File Format lets
you use other sophisticated styles from optional Style File disks, as well
as styles that were created and saved to disk in the Custom Style mode.

About the Yamaha Style File Format
Style files created for Clavinova models
prior to the CVP-201 may have slightly
different formats. If you try loading such
files, the data may not play back as
expected. (This also applies to the use of
CVP-201 style data by earlier-model
Clavinovas.)
Loading Styles from a Disk
ZInsert a disk............................................................................................................
If a disk containing both song data and
style files is inserted, the SONG PLAY
display will automatically appear. If this
happens, press the [SONG] button or the
[EXIT] button to return to the main dis-
play, then press the [DISK/CUSTOM]
button.
Insert a disk containing style files into the disk drive. The [DISK IN
USE] lamp will light briefly while the Clavinova reads and identifies the
disk. When a Style File disk is inserted, the STYLE FILE LOAD display
(see step 2 below) will appear automatically.
If the disk is already inserted and the STYLE FILE LOAD display is
not showing, press the [DISK/CUSTOM] button to open the DISK/
CUSTOM STYLE display, then press the LOAD SINGLE button.
DISK IN USE
To load a set of four style files that was created by selecting ALL as
the memory number when the files were saved in Custom Style mode (see
page 82), press the ALL LOAD LCD button rather than the LOAD SIN-
GLE button.
