■ Style File (Auto Accompaniment) Format
The Style File Format (SFF) is a compilation of all of Y amaha’s auto
accompaniment know-how into a single unified format.
Since the PSR-730/630 supports the SFF format, you can enjoy
many styles in addition to the 100 preset SFF styles. Just insert a disk
with SFF styles on it into the disk drive and you can load them into the
PSR-730/630.
By using the user style function, you can take advantage of the power
of the SFF format and freely create your own user styles.
With the Auto Accompaniment function, chord changes (transposi-
tions) are applied to the source pattern that forms the basis for the
accompaniment. The “Note Transposition Rule” and “Note Transpo-
sition Table” that are set for each track are used for this. After the
transposition is made, the transposed notes are checked to see if
they can be correctly played within the range of the instrument, then
the accompaniment is played.
The following SFF settings can be executed only after recording each
track (still in the Record Ready Mode or Rehearsal Mode).
NTR (Note Transposition Rule) Setting
C Note Transposition rule setting
Set the transposition rule for using the transposition table (see
item 4 below) when transposing. There are two types of rules.
Root Transposition Rule
This rule maintains the mutual relationship in pitch between
each note when transposing. Set this for tracks that contain
melody-like phrases.
Root Fixed Rule
To the extent possible, this rule maintains the pitch of each note
in the source pattern. Set it for piano-type or guitar-type chord
picking tracks.
After finishing recording, with the recorded track selected, select
“NTR” from the sub menu and use the [–] and [+] buttons or the
Data Dial to select the transposition rule.
