Converting Styles to MIDI Patterns
If you have found an acoustic or a percussion style that you want to use on your pad, but want to
edit it further in the Pattern editor, you must convert it to a MIDI pattern rst.
PREREQUISITE
●
In the pad section on the left, the pad that contains the style is active.
●
You have set up the style on the Agent page so that it plays the way you want it.
PROCEDURE
● Click Convert Style to MIDI Pattern on the Agent page to convert the current style into a
MIDI pattern.
NOTE
The conversion takes into account all the settings in the Performance section, with one
exception: If you convert a percussion style, Random Complexity is not taken into account.
If you convert an acoustic style, only the active part of the style, that is, the selected main, ll,
intro, or ending is converted.
RESULT
The style is converted and the Agent page automatically switches to the MIDI Player. The
Pattern editor becomes available, allowing you to modify the pattern.
NOTE
Once a style is converted to a MIDI pattern, it can no longer be opened in the style player.
Modifying MIDI Patterns in the Pattern Editor
In the Pattern editor, you can modify patterns by adding or deleting notes, by replacing a drum
sound with another, etc.
PROCEDURE
1. Click the Pattern tab in the edit display to open the Pattern editor.
2. Edit the pattern. You can for example insert new notes for an existing or for a new drum
sound, delete notes or move notes.
