Chapter 7 Creating Music Styles

Creating Original Styles
(User Styles)
Although the KR-7/5 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 (KR-7)
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. 136)
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
KR-7/5 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.
