Creating a Style from a Song
You Composed Yourself (Style
Converter)
You can take a song you've composed yourself and extract
the portions you need to create your own original Style.
Note that when you're composing a song, there's no need to
specify all the chords. You can specify just some of the
chords, and working on that, the KF-90 automatically
extrapolates the other chords, and arranges the style.
The Style Converter has an "Auto Mode" for creating Music
Styles simply from a song with a single chord, and a
"Manual Mode" for creating a Music Style from a song of
three chords (major, minor, and diminished seventh).
When you're creating a song for User Style, think about the
structure of the style.
The Makeup of a Style
A Music Style is made up of five performance parts:
"Rhythm," "Bass," "Accompaniment 1," "Accompaniment
2," and "Accompaniment 3."
Also, a song progresses in a sequence, such as intro, melody
A, melody B, bridge, and ending.
With the KF-90, such changes in songs are allocated to the
following six performance states. The six performance states
are called "Divisions" for Style.
Division Performance division
Intro The intro is played at the start of a song.
Ending This is played at the end of a song.
Original This is a basic accompaniment pattern.
Variation This is a developmental
accompaniment pattern.
Fill In To Variation This is a one-measure phrase inserted
at a juncture where the mood changes.
It is used to make a song more lively.
Fill In To Original This is a one-measure phrase inserted
at a juncture where the mood changes.
It is used to make a song more sedate.
You can make a song more lively or more restrained by
increasing or reducing performance parts by Divisions. You
can also modify a song by changing the tone of the
performance parts by Divisions.
