Playing the Styles

What is a Style?

Styles are collections of musical patterns in a particular music genre – or

'musical style' – offering an eight-parts automatic Accompaniment, sim-

ilar to an eight-member band playing with you. Chords you play on the

keyboard will be recognized and will adapt the patterns to suit the music.

Different sections can be selected to let you create a complete song in

Accompaniment parts are like the members of a band. With Havian 30

you get five pitched instrument players (for example: guitar, piano, strings,

synthesizers), a bass player, a percussion player, and a drum player.

Accompaniment patterns are repeating musical sequences (like a bass

groove, a guitar riff or a piano chord progression) that are dynamically

adapted to match the recognized chords. They may vary depending on the

type of chord (like C Maj, C min, or 7th).

Songs are made of different sections (Intro, Verse 1, Bridge, Chorus 1 and

so on). There are different patters for each song section, and they are col-

lected under the Style Element buttons (INTRO, VARIATION, AUTOFILL,

BREAK, ENDING). While the name of the Intro, Fill, Break and Ending are

the same as the name of the corresponding song section, Variations can

be used either for Verse, Bridge, Chorus or Special sections. The arrange-

ment becomes denser the higher the element numbers go.

Havian 30 automatically matches each Variation with a Fill having the

same number. When the

indicator is on, going from a Variation

to a different one means that the Fill having the same number of the

first Variation is automatically selected. For example, when going from

Variation 2 to Variation 3, Fill 2 is automatically selected.
