II. Creating a User Style
The following procedure describes how to create a User Style from scratch. This
is useful when the PSR1000/2000 does not have a built-in Style which fits the
style of music that the user wants to play. Creating a User Style from scratch is
also useful to create custom drum accompaniments.
A Style can be created completely from scratch by first selecting 'NEW STYLE'
from the 'BASIC' section of 'STYLE CREATOR', then recording to the 8 Auto
Accompaniment Channels (Tracks) for the Style.
NOTE: Yamaha Style Disks (Auto Accompaniments) are available for purchase
online at www.yamahamusicsoft.com. To order by phone, call Music Dispatch at
(800) 637-2852. Ask for the Hal Leonard Music Software Catalog.
