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.
Style Data Structure — Creating 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.
G 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.
• 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.
G 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.
