Saving And Loading The Sequence Data; Refining The Style - Yamaha PortaTone PSR-8000 Owner's Manual

Saving and Loading the Sequence Data

Save the completed sequence data to a 2DD or 2HD
DOS format floppy disk (or use a disk formatted by the
PSR-8000).
Use a file name consisting of no more than 8 charac-
ters, and add a ".STY" suffix.
Save the file using Standard MIDI File Format 0.

Refining the Style

Once the new style has been loaded, use the PSR-8000
STYLE CREATOR to refine it as required.
Set up the NOTE LIMIT, NTT, and NTR parameters to
ensure that the style plays properly with the widest
possible range of chords.

The Custom Style Creator
...........................................................................................................
Insert the disk into the PSR-8000 floppy drive, and load
the file as a custom style (page 140).
If the file won't load properly, check the following:
Is the file name correct (up to 8 characters + .STY)?
Is "SFF1" properly recorded at 1|1|000?
Is the GM on Sys/Ex properly recorded at 1|1|000?
Set the RTR parameter for the smoothest chord
changes.
If any changes need to be made to the sequence data
itself, use the sequencer to make the changes then
reload the data into the PSR-8000.
