The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha's auto
accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single
unified format. By using the Style Creator, you can take
advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create
your own Styles.
The chart shown at left indicates the process by which the
Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm
track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator
feature.
• Source Pattern
There are a variety of possibilities for Style playback
notes, depending on the particular root note and chord
type that are selected. The Style data is appropriately con-
verted depending on the chord changes you make during
your performance. This basic Style data that you create
with the Style Creator is referred to as the "Source Pat-
tern."
• Note Transposition
This parameter group features two parameters that deter-
mine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be con-
verted in response to chord changes.
• Other Settings
Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how
Style playback responds to the chords you play. For exam-
ple, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the
Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by shift-
ing the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no
notes sound outside the natural range of the actual instru-
ment (e.g., very low notes of a piccolo sound).
Editing of Style File Format data
is related only to note conver-
sion. Editing the rhythm chan-
nels has no effect.
