Style Editor–Arranger; Style Editor–Style Sections - KETRON SD9 Manual

The top portion of this screen (section 1) highlighted in Fig. 111 (as is the case with most displays of the SD9 Pro) is
dedicated to showing the current style and voice information in real time, so you are always aware of where you are
within the SD9 Pro. The bottom section of the screen highlighted (section 2) is the STYLE EDITOR which
provides the current style elements to the left and various editable parameters to the right of the screen as expressed
in Fig. 112. Using examples where applicable, we will go through the various editable parameters shown so you
clearly understand how the STYLE EDITOR works.
[ARR.A]:- This icon shows you what arranger section you are currently working with. To change to another part of
the style, touch this icon to display the various Style sections from which you can determine which part of the style
you want to work on (Arranger A, B, C, D, Fill in, Ending ... etc) as shown below in Fig. 113 and Fig. 114.
Fig. 113. Style Editor – Arranger
Fig. 114 shows 5 columns in the SELECT SECTION area of the screen (ARRANGE, FILL, BREAK, INTRO,
ENDING) and below each column, all the relevant parts of the sections. You can now select the part you want to
work on by touching it. The screen will automatically return to (Fig. 113) and display the style section you selected
in Fig. 114 ([ARR.A] in this case). So, if you had touched "1" under the INTRO column (INTRO1), then INTRO1
will now be displayed in the Style Editor Arrange Page (Fig. 113) – where you now have [ARR.A] and any
recording or editing performed will impact just the style elements or tracks of INTRO 1.
Let's take a closer look at the functions shown in Fig. 114 and understand how to use them when recording style
tracks:-
•
CLICK:- Turn this on (yellow) if you want to hear a metronome/Click when you press RECORD to
record a style part. This metronome guides you while you record to keep you in beat. Note that the
metronome itself is not recorded in your track!
•
SOLO:- Turn this on (yellow) if you want to isolate the current track you are working on (mute all
other tracks). This is sometimes needed especially when you are trying to record subtle or complex
notes and the other style elements (tracks) are getting in the way. You can later touch SOLO again (to
turn off/un mute all the other tracks) and listen to the entire mix.
•
Style measure [1/8]:- Shows you how many measures are in the style section you are about to record.
This value is set under the PARAMETER controls in the style editor screen (Fig. 114). In the
example above, this part [ARR.A] is 8 measures long. Each Arranger section can now have different
style measure lengths, so Arranger 8 can be 8 measures long while Arranger B (of the same style) can
be 16 measures long. The maximum length is 128! NB:- With the capability to record up to 128
measures in each section, this means that you could technically use the STYLE EDITOR as a
