Styles

Styles are a collection of musical patterns repre-
senting many types of music, ranging from rock
and pop to traditional, Latin and Oriental music
The automatic accompaniments of the Styles are
triggered by the chord information received from
the PS/GPS keyboard; the accompaniment pat-
terns change to suit the current chord.

ABOUT THE PS/GPS ROM STYLES

The PS/GPS has 192 auto accompaniment ROM
Styles arranged in 12 Style Groups, each con-
taining 2 banks of 8 Styles each.
To select a Style, press one of the STYLE
GROUPS buttons, (8 Beat, 16 Beat, etc) and se-
lect a Style from the Bank 1 selection window
with the corresponding soft buttons. To select
Bank 2 Styles, press the +/– Page/Bank button.

THE STYLE ARRANGER SECTION

This section houses a set of functions which de-
termine how the Styles play.
ARRANGE ON/OFF
When this button is on, all the accompaniment
parts of a Style are enabled. If it is not on, you
will only hear the Drum track when you press
Start/Stop to start the Style.
ARRANGE MODE
Pressing this button gains access to the chord
recognition modes for the accompaniments.
Refer to the "Arrange mode" paragraph on page
5.3 for more information.
MEMORY
When this button is on, the accompaniment con-
tinues to play after releasing the left hand from
the keyboard. When off, releasing your left hand
causes the accompaniment to stop.
LOWER MEMORY
If this is on, the notes of the track assigned to the
left hand (Upper&Lower and Multi modes) are
held even if the left hand is taken away from the
keys.
The Lower Memory function is useful for holding
on 'background' sounds without having to use a
Damper pedal (which may be of more use with
the upper sounds).
In the Upper&Lower and Multi modes, the func-
tion is used to keep the Drum part playing even
when you have taken your hand off the keys.
