Using a Style
8) Conductor
The Conductor is used to edit Preset or User Style data.
There are two editing methods offered by the Conductor.
Easy Style Edit This is an easy way to edit the Style data. The CP built-in styles are comprised three different
types, Full, Intimate, and Solo Piano Styles. A Full Style consists of six instrument tracks called
Sections. These are the Drums, Bass, and four Accompaniment tracks. The Intimate Styles
have four Sections, Drum, Bass, And Two Accompaniment tracks. The Solo piano Styles
have two Accompaniment Tracks (Right and Left hand) and no Drum or Bass tracks.
When you play a Style, each of these sections plays a musical Phrase composed for that
type of instrument. Each section can play one of four different musical phrases, one for
each of the four variations within a Style.
Easy Edit lets you assign which of these four Phrases will be played by each section for
each of the four variations within the style. This means you can mix and match the different
phrases for each section to create your own unique arrangements. Once you are satisfied
with your edits, you can save your Easy Style edits to the PRESET STYLE.
Advanced Style Edit This allows you to edit the finer details within a Style. You have control over each Section’s
Sound Assignment, volume level, panning, chorus, and reverb settings. Once you are satisfied
with your edits, you can save your Advanced Style edits to the USER CONDUCTOR.
