Creating Music Styles - Roland KR105 Owner's Manual

8. Creating Music Styles

Creating Original Styles
(User Styles)
Although the KR105 features a variety of internal Music
Styles, you can also create your own. These original Styles
are called "User Styles."
You can use either of the two methods described below to
create a User Style.
Style Composer
With this method, you combine internal Music Styles to
create new Styles. You can create a new Style by selecting
from among the Rhythm, Bass, Accompaniment 1,
Accompaniment 2, and Accompaniment 3 parts in different
styles.
Style Converter (p. 118)
Create a new Style by extracting the portions you need from
songs composed with the 16-track sequencer.
When you're composing a song, there's no need to specify all
the chords. You can specify just some of the chords, and the
KR105 automatically chooses the other chords and arranges
the Style.
Style Converter features an "Auto mode" that allows you to
easily create Styles from songs with a single chord, and a
"Manual mode," in which you create Styles from songs with
three kinds of chords–major, minor, and seventh chords.
