Making Style File Format Settings - Yamaha Tyros3 Reference Manual

Making Style File Format Settings

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 below 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, in the PARAMETER Page.
Source Pattern settings—SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD
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 converted depending on the chord changes you make during
your performance. This basic Style data that you create with the Style Cre-
ator is referred to as the "Source Pattern."
Chord change via the chord section of the keyboard.
Note Transposition settings—NTR and NTT
This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the
notes of the Source Pattern are to be converted in response to chord
changes.
Other settings—HIGH KEY, NOTE LIMIT and RTR
Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback
responds to the chords you play. For example, the Note Limit parameter
allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by
shifting the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no notes sound out-
side the natural range of the actual instrument (e.g., high bass sounds or
low piccolo sounds).
The Tyros3's Styles are compatible with SFF GE—an enhanced format of the original
SFF with especially rich, expressive guitar parts.
