Style File Format

The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha's auto accompaniment know-how into a single
unified format.
By using the Parameter Edit function, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely
create your own styles.
The chart below indicates the process by which the accompaniment is played back. (This does not
apply to the rhythm track.)
The source pattern in the chart is the original style data. As explained on page 110, in style recording
this source pattern is recorded.
As shown in the chart below, the actual output of the accompaniment is determined by various parame-
ter settings and chord changes (playing chords in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard)
entered to this source pattern.

Accompaniment
Since newly created style data is stored to Flash ROM, any pre-programmed data in the selected style location will be erased
and replaced by your new settings. This includes the factory programmed Flash style data (Flash styles I through VIII). If
you've deleted the factory-set data, you can use the Restore function (page 130) to load a copy of it from the included disks
(page 6).
