Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator

Style File Format
The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of
Yamaha’s auto accompaniment know-how into
a single unified format. By using the edit
functions, you can take full advantage of the
SFF format and freely create your own styles.
The chart at right indicates the process by
which the accompaniment is played back.
(This does not apply to the rhythm tracks.)The
basic or “source” pattern in the chart is the
original style data. This source pattern is
recorded using accompaniment style
recording (see below).
As shown in the chart at right, the actual
output of the accompaniment is determined by
various parameter settings and chord changes
(played in Auto Accompaniment area of the
keyboard) entered to this source pattern.
Source Pattern
1
Source Root (root note of basic chord)
2
Source Chord (type of basic chord)
Pitch Conversion
3
NTR (Note Transposition Rule)
4
NTT (Note Transposition Table)
Other Settings
5
High Key (threshold of the pitch
conversion)
6
Note Limit (soundable range)
7
RTR (Retrigger Rule; how the pitches of
the chord change)
Output
These are the patterns
recorded to the
accompaniment styles
(page 107).
This data is created by
chords played in the
Auto Accompaniment
area of the keyboard
(page 59).
These settings are
edited from the
PARAMETER display.
These parameters
determine how the
pitch of the source
pattern is converted
when you play chords
in the Auto
Accompaniment area
of the keyboard.
