Styles provide automatic accompaniments based on the system of chords. In particular, the Major, Minor and Seventh chords
trigger three completely different arrangement patterns. There are 4 Variations of the Major, minor and 7th chords and
each Variation breaks down into several different sections: basic, Intro, Fill, Ending. These four sections form the basis of a
structure consisting of 48 short sequences, or "Riffs", for each Style
WHAT IS A RIFF?
A Riff is a musical motif capable of repetition (looping). It can also be expressed as a "phrase" or "lick", but it is important
to understand that the Riff must be capable of repetition. In fact, when you play with Styles, you will note that the patterns are
short repeating sequences. The table shown on this page lists all the Riffs that make up a Style. The basic Riff is the principal
pattern of the Style which repeats continually until stopped, or until it is "broken" by a Fill, Intro or Ending pattern. The Fills,
Intros and Endings are triggered by pressing the relative FILL, INTRO, or ENDING buttons. A Riff can vary in length from one
to sixteen measures long. Each Riff consists of up to 8 Style tracks: Drum, Bass, Acc1, Acc2, Acc3, Acc4, Acc5, Acc6.

NOTE:
Using Genesys xp in realtime with
the styles the dsp effect has a fix
configuration in which the 8 to 1
parts assigned to be controlled by the
preset are assigned the the GROUP A
dsp. The parts from 9 to 16 drived by
the styles are assigned to the GROUP
B dsp. In this way each section has an
independent couple of effects (reverb
and modulation).
