Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator
This powerful feature lets you create your own original styles, which can then be used for auto accompaniment — just
as with the preset styles.
About Creating Accompaniment Styles
The chart at right shows the basic parts (or “channels”) that make up each section
of an accompaniment style. To create an accompaniment style, record patterns to
the various channels one by one, for each of the sections you want to create.
■
Realtime Recording (page 113)
You can record accompaniment styles by simply playing the parts from the
keyboard in real time. However, you don’t have to record every part yourself
— you can choose an existing preset accompaniment style that is close to the
style you want, then add or replace parts in that style as needed to create your
own custom style.
Realtime Recording Characteristics
• Loop recording
Since auto accompaniment playback repeats the accompaniment patterns of several measures in a “loop,” you can
also record patterns in a loop. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two
measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next loop (repetition), letting you
record new material while hearing the parts you previously recorded.
• Overdub recording
This feature lets you record new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the
original data. In style recording, the recorded data remains intact, unless you specifically delete it yourself. For
example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeated. As you record
notes to each pass of the loop (repetition), those notes play back from the next loop, letting you overdub new
material while hearing the previous parts.
■
Step Recording (page 114)
This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows
you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This is
ideal for making precise recordings, or for recording parts that are
difficult to play.
■
Assembling an Accompaniment Style (page 115)
This convenient feature lets you create composite styles by combining
various patterns from the internal preset accompaniment styles. For
example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat style, you
could take rhythm patterns from the “8 Beat 1” style, use the bass
pattern from “8 Beat 2,” and import the chord patterns from the “60’s 8
Beat” style — combining the various elements to create one
accompaniment style.
■
Editing the created Accompaniment Style (page 116)
With the editing features, you can custom edit the styles you’ve
created by real time recording, step recording, and assembling from other styles.
