Stylele Creator

Custom Style Recording via an External Sequence Recorder

You can create custom styles for the 9000Pro using an external sequencer (or personal computer with sequencing software), instead of using the 9000Pro’s STYLE CREATOR function.

■Connections

•Connect the 9000Pro MIDI OUT to the sequencer MIDI IN, and the sequencer MIDI OUT to the 9000Pro MIDI IN.

■Creating the Data

•Record all sections and parts using a CM7 (C major sev- enth) chord.

•Record the parts on the MIDI channels listed below, using the 9000Pro’s internal tone generator. Optimum compati- bility with other instruments which are both XG and SFF (Style File Format) compatible can be achieved by using only the XG voices.

•Record the sections in the order listed below, with a Marker Meta-event at the top of each section. Enter the Marker Meta-events exactly as shown (including upper/ lower case characters and spaces).

•Also include an “SFF1” Marker Meta-event, “SInt” Marker Meta-event and style name Meta-event at 11000 (the top of the sequence track), and the GM on Sys/Ex message (F0, 7E, 7F, 09, 01, F7). (“Timing” in the chart is based on 480 clocks per quarter note. “11000” is clock “0” of the first beat of the first measure).

•The data from 11000 through 14479 is the “Initial Setup”, and 21000 through the end of Ending B is the “Source Pattern”.

•The timing of the Fill In AA and subsequent Marker Meta- events will depend on the length of each section.

•Make sure that the sequencer “ECHO” function is ON, and the 9000Pro LOCAL ON/OFF (page 175) is turned OFF.
