Style Characteristics
The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated above the Preset Style name.
•
Pro:
These Styles provide professional and exciting arrangements combined with perfect playability. The
resulting accompaniment exactly follows the chords of the player. As a result, your chord changes and col-
orful harmonies are instantly transformed into lifelike musical accompaniment.
•
Session:
These Styles provide even greater realism and authentic backing by mixing in original chord types
and changes, as well as special riffs with chord changes, with the Main sections. These have been pro-
grammed to add “spice” and a professional touch to your performances of certain songs and in certain
genres. Keep in mind, however, that the Styles may not necessarily be appropriate—or even harmonically
correct—for all songs and for all chord playing. In some cases for example, playing a simple major triad
for a country song may result in a “jazzy” seventh chord, or playing an on-bass chord may result in inap-
propriate or unexpected accompaniment.
•
Free Play:
These Styles are characterized by rubato performance. You can perform freely with remarkably
expressive accompaniment, without being constrained by a strict tempo.
Style file compatibility
The Tyros4 uses the SFF GE file format (page 9). The Tyros4 can play back existing SFF files, but they will be
saved in the SFF GE format when the file is saved (or pasted) in the Tyros4. Please keep in mind that the saved
file can only be played back on instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format.
