Copying on a Chord Variation with a different
length
You can copy a Chord Element on a different Chord
Element with a different length. Just keep in mind the
following:
• If the source length is a divider of the target length,
the source Chord Variation will be multiplied to fit
the target Chord Variation. For example, if the
source is 4‐measures long, and the target 8‐mea‐
sures, the source will be copied two times.
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
• If the source length is not a divider of the target
length, the source Chord Variation will be copied
for as many measures as can fit the target Chord
Variation. For example, if the source is 6‐measures
long, and the target 8‐measures, the source will be
copied once, then the fist 2 measures will be cop‐
ied to fit the remaining 2 measures.
1 2 3 4
1 2 3 4 5 6 1 2
Note: Avoid copying on a Chord Variation with a different
meter, for example a 4/4 Chord Variation onto a 3/4 one.

PROGRAMS
In this page you can assign a different Program to each
track of the selected Style Element. Each Style Element
can have different Programs; after saving the new
Style, please don't forget to set the "Prog" parameter to
"Original" (see "Prog (Program)" on page 49), to let the
Style select the Program bypassing the Style Perfor‐
mance settings.
When in this page, press the corresponding button on
the control panel to select a Style Element
(VARIATION1 ... ENDING2).
To copy the settings of this page to another Style Ele‐
ment, keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press the
button of the target Style Element.
Program
Use the PROGRAM/PERFORMANCE section to assign
a Program to the selected track.

EXPRESSION
In this page you can modify the Expression (CC#11)
value for each of the Style tracks. This lets you reduce
the relative level of a track in a single Style Element,
without reducing the overall Volume of the Style.
This is a very useful control, when you have different
Programs assigned to the same track in different Style
Elements, and the internal level of these Programs is
different.
When in this page, press the corresponding button on
the control panel to select a Style Element
(VARIATION1 ... ENDING2).
To copy the settings of this page to another Style Ele‐
ment, keep the SHIFT button pressed, and press the
button of the target Style Element.
Value
Use this parameter to set the Expression value for the
corresponding track.

KEYBOARD RANGE
The Keyboard Range automatically transposes any pat‐
tern note that would otherwise play too high or too low
in pitch, compared to the original acoustic instrument,
when transposed by the arranger. This will result in a
more natural sound for each accompaniment instru‐
ment.
For example, the lower limit for a guitar is E2. If you
play a chord under the E2, the transposed pattern
could exceed this limit, and sound unnatural. A Bottom
limit set to E2 for the guitar track will solve the prob‐
lem.

Note: The Keyboard Range is ignored while recording. The
selected track can play on the full range of the keyboard.
When in this page, press the corresponding button on
the control panel to select a Style Element
(VARIATION1 ... ENDING2).
