Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator); Basic Procedure For Creating A Style - Yamaha PSR-S670 Reference Manual

Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)

A Style is made up of the different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has separate
channels (rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, multi pad, or phrase, each of which is referred to as a
"Source Pattern"). With the Style Creator function, you can create an original Style by separately recording
the channels, or by copying pattern data from other existing Styles.

Basic Procedure for Creating a Style

1
Select the desired Style to be used as the basis for the new Style.
2
Call up the Style Creator display.
[FUNCTION]  TAB [F] MENU 2  Cursor buttons [][][E][F] STYLE CREATOR  [ENTER]

A message appears asking if you want to edit the selected style or create a new one.

Press one of the [5 ]/[6 ] (CURRENT STYLE) buttons to edit the selected Style,
or press one of the [7 ]/[8 ](NEW STYLE) buttons to create a new Style.
When one of the [7 ]/[8 ] buttons is pressed, a blank Style (named "NewStyle") for recording is
automatically created.

From the BASIC page, select a Section.
(If the REC CHANNEL display is shown in the lower half section of the display, press the [EXIT] button.)
Use the cursor buttons [][] to select "1 SECTION," then use the [3 ]/[4 ] buttons to select a
Section.
Carry out the following operations as necessary.
• For the current Section, select the pattern length via the [5 ]/[6 ] buttons. After selecting, press
the [ENTER] button to actually enter the specified length.
• For the entire current Style, use the Cursor buttons [][] to select "2 TEMPO/BEAT," then set the
Tempo via the [3 ]/[4 ] buttons, and the Time Signature (BEAT) via the [5 ]/[6 ]
buttons.
Even when you are editing an existing Style, changing the Time Signature (BEAT) clears the data from all sections, and you will need to create the Style
