ABOUT SONG/STYLES
(See also the Song/Styles chapter 8, User Guide).
If you record what you play when you play with
Styles, the result is a Song/Style.
Song/Styles record the chords that trigger the
Style arrangements and up to 3 keyboard tracks.
The Chords are captured on the CHORDS track.
If you use the Pads, the events are recorded to
the Pads track.
Song/Styles offer an excellent means of prepar-
ing backings for a soloist. For example, you can
record two keyboard tracks (Upper2 & Lower) with
accompaniments, then use Upper 1 to play the
melody in real time with the Song/Style in play-
back.
Song/Styles record all panel interventions, includ-
ing changes of Style, use of the Intro, Fills, End-
ings, Fade In/Out, Reverbs/Effects activation/
deactivation, Harmony On/Off and more. The
events generated by the panel interventions are
recorded in the COMMON track. The COMMON/
CHORDS track activates automatically when you
enter Song/Style Record mode.
Up to 7 Song/Styles can be recorded, or loaded
into memory from disk using the Load All proce-
dure. Song/Styles are saved to disk using the
Save All method (see the Disk chapter 6, User
Guide). Song/Styles cannot be saved as MIDI
Files.
THE SONG/STYLE PERFORMANCE
The Song/Style Performance corresponds exactly
to the Performance recalled by the Style (Rom
or User) that is exploited to create the Song/Style.
If you select a Free location in the Song/Style
Group, the Performance recalled corresponds to
the current default Style Performance which is
configured as follows:
Default Song/Style Performance configuration
Track Sound
Drum Stand1
Bass Finger
Acc1 Piano1
Acc2 St-Guitar
Acc3 String
Lower 2 SlowString 6
Upper 2 String
Upper 1 Piano
You can programme the Song/Style Performance
before starting the recording as you would a Real
Time Perf or Song Performance. A Song/Per-
formance can be copied to any of the 7 Song/
Style locations in the Song/Style Group. This is
a useful feature because it allows you to pro-
gramme a single Song/Style Performance which
can be the basis of up to 6 other Performances,
each of which can be independently modified with
respect to the original.
How to program the Song/Style Performance is
discussed towards the end of this chapter.
