9) Making a Style with Get Phrase from Recorder

This is the most flexible way to create a new Style.
You can take music that you have recorded using the CP's own Recorder and convert it into Style data. Or, you
can use an external MIDI device or a personal computer to create the musical phrases, then load the data into
the CP's Recorder and convert those.
Configuration of a Style
A complete Style consists of the following patterns:
5
To create a Style:
Step 1
From the recorder screen, touch the ADVANCED RECORDER button.
Step 2
In the Advanced Recorder menu, touch Style Maker.
The LCD screen will display the first Style Maker screen.
Basic pattern 4 patterns (Variation 1-4)
Fill-in 4 patterns (Fill-In 1-4)
Intro Major 2 pattern
Intro Minor 2 pattern
Ending Major 2 pattern
Ending Minor 2 pattern
Count Intro 2 pattern
Count Ending 2 pattern
Each of these are made of six Sections: Drum, Bass, ACC1, ACC2, ACC3 and ACC4. However you don't necessarily have
to have all of them to create a Style. For example, you may not need to use some Variations or Sections to accomplish
your musical idea. These unused sections may be left blank, or filled with Section data copied from the initial source
Style that you were asked to choose at the beginning of the Style Maker process.
The different Sections can be of varying bar lengths as long as they stay within the limit. Having them all the same length
may make the Style easier to use in a song, but you may find that having uneven bar lengths among the Sections can
create interesting musical results.
Before you can generate a Style from these phrases, you have to have them loaded into the Recorder, keeping in mind
which tracks in the Recorder are going hold data for which Sections in the new Style.
The source recording in the CP's Recorder can be in any key. However, you need to know what key that is, because you
will have to specify that as part of generating a new Style. For simplicity's sake it is advisable to record in C if you are
planning on using the recording with the Style Maker.
The LCD screen will display the Advanced Recorder menu.
