Style Creator (Digital Recording)

The powerful Style Creator feature lets you create your own original styles, which can then be used for style playback

— just as with the preset styles.

Each style is made up of ﬁfteen sections (Intro I - III,

Main A - D, Fill In A - D, Break, Ending I - III) as

rhythm pattern variations. Each of these ﬁfteen sec-

tions in turn has eight different parts (channels), made

up of MIDI sequence data — making a total of 120

separate sets of MIDI data contained in a single style.

With the Style Creator feature, you can create a style

by separately recording the necessary MIDI data, or

by importing pattern data from other existing styles.

● Using Preset Styles

As shown in the chart at right, when you select the

internal preset style that is the closest to the type

of style you wish to create and call up the Style

Creator display, the preset style data will be cop-

ied to a special memory location for creating. You

can create an original style by adding, deleting, or

replacing data from this memory location.

● Recording and Assembling

The Style Creator provides two basic ways to cre-

ate MIDI sequence data of each part: Recording,

which allows you to record parts from the key-

board (using Realtime or Step Recording), and

Assembly, which lets you bring various pattern

data together by copying from other styles. Both

methods, Recording and Assembly, replace the

original data with the new data.

In the case of chart shown at right, for example,

INTRO I and MAIN A are created by recording

the new data to all the parts, and MAIN B is cre-

ated by assembling the pattern data for all parts

from the other styles. INTRO III and ENDING A

- C are created by keeping and using the original

data. MAIN C and FILL IN A are created via three

ways: Recording, Assembly, and using the origi-

nal data.

Each style contains 120 MIDI data sequences (15 Sections x 8 Parts)

For these parts containing preset data, new material can be over-

dubbed (recorded).

For these parts containing preset data, new material cannot be over-

Preset Style data

Internal memory for

Copy

• The DSP1 effect settings (page 136) cannot be stored in

the User style data, and as such cannot be edited in the

Style Creator function. This means that any DSP1 effect

settings in the Preset style (such as changing speeds of

the rotary speaker effect) will be deleted from the copied

Preset style data, and be unavailable for creating a style.
