When the base note is changed, the pitch of the keyboard is transposed, yet maintains the original pitch relationship between the notes. [3 ▲▼]– [5 ▲▼] TUNE Select the desired note to be tuned by using the [3 ▲▼] buttons and tune it in cents by using the [4 ▲▼]/[5 ▲▼] buttons. NOTE In musical terms a “cent” is 1/100th of a semitone. (100 cents equal one semitone.
Editing Voices (Voice Set) The instrument has a Voice Set feature that allows you to create your own Voices by editing some parameters of the existing Voices. Once you’ve created a Voice, you can save it as a User Voice to the USER drive or external devices for future recall. Select the desired Voice (other than an Organ Flutes Voice). The editing method is different for the ORGAN FLUTES Voices compared to other Voices. For instructions on editing the ORGAN FLUTES Voices, see page 15.
Editable Parameters in the VOICE SET Displays The Voice Set parameters are organized into six different displays. The parameters in each display are described separately, below. NOTE The available parameters differ depending on the Voice. ■ PIANO Page This display is available only when the Natural! piano Voice (page 3) is selected. 2 Voices – Playing the Keyboard – [1 ▲▼]/ [2 ▲▼] TUNING CURVE Determines the tuning curve.
[4 ▲▼]/ [5 ▲▼] PART OCTAVE Shifts the octave range of the edited Voice up or down in octaves. When the edited Voice is used as any of the RIGHT 1–2 parts, the R1/R2 parameter is available; when the edited Voice is used as the LEFT part, the LEFT parameter is available. [6 ▲▼] MONO/POLY Determines whether the edited Voice is played monophonically or polyphonically. [7 ▲▼] PORTAMENTO TIME Sets the portamento time (pitch transition time) when the edited Voice is set to “MONO” above.
■ SOUND Page FILTER Filter is a processor that changes the timbre or tone of a sound by either blocking or passing a specific frequency range. The parameters below determine the overall timbre of the sound by boosting or cutting a certain frequency range. In addition to making the sound either brighter or mellower, Filter can be used to produce electronic, synthesizer-like effects. [1 ▲▼] BRIGHT.

Chord Fingering Types Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-seventh chords by pressing a minimum number of keys on the Chord section of the keyboard. This type is available only for Style playback. The abbreviated chord fingerings described below are used: C C7 For a major chord, press the root key only. Cm For a minor chord, simultaneously press the root key and a black key to its left.
Style Playback Related Settings The instrument has a variety of Style playback functions which can be accessed in the display below. 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB [E][F] STYLE SETTING 2 Use the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons for each setting.
[2 ▲▼] OTS LINK TIMING This applies to the OTS Link function. This parameter determines the timing in which the One Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A]–[D] change.

The two Split Point settings (below) are specified as note names. Split Point (S) Chord section 3 Split Point (L) Voice RIGHT 1–2 Voice LEFT 1 Call up the operation display. [FUNCTION] → [C] STYLE SETTING/SPLIT POINT/CHORD FINGERING → TAB [E][F] SPLIT POINT 2 Set the Split Point.
Memorizing the Original One Touch Setting You can create your own One Touch Setting setups. 1 Select the desired Style to memorize your One Touch Setting. 2 Set up the panel controls (such as Voice, effects, and so on) as desired. 3 Press the [MEMORY] button. 4 4 Press one of the ONE TOUCH SETTING [1]–[4] buttons. A message appears in the display prompting you to save the panel settings. 5 Press [F] (YES) button to call up the Style Selection display and save the panel settings as a Style file.
Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) Styles are made up of fifteen different sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each section has eight separate channels. With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the channels, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles. Sections Channels You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Style can also be edited.
Realtime Recording In the BASIC Page, you can create a single Style by recording the individual channels one-by-one, using realtime recording. Realtime Recording Characteristics—Loop Recording and Overdub Recording • Loop Recording Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure MAIN section, the two measures are repeatedly recorded.
5 Use the [5 ▲▼]/[6 ▲▼] buttons to determine the length (number of measures) of the selected section, then press the [D] (EXECUTE) button to actually enter the specified length. 6 Specify the channel to be recorded by simultaneously holding down the [F] (REC CH) button and pressing the appropriate numbered button, [1 ▼]–[8 ▼]. To cancel the selection, press the corresponding [1 ▼]–[8 ▼] button again.
9 Start recording by pressing the STYLE CONTROL [START/STOP] button. Playback of the specified section starts. Since the accompaniment pattern plays back repeatedly in a loop, you can record individual sounds one by one, listening to the previous sounds as they play. For information on recording to channels other than the rhythm channels (RHY1, 2), refer to the section “Rules when recording non-rhythm channels” below.
Step Recording In the EDIT Page, you can record notes with absolutely precise timing. This Step Recording procedure is essentially the same as that for Song Recording (page 45) with the exception of the points listed below: • In the Song Creator, the End Mark position can be changed freely; in the Style Creator, it cannot be changed. This is because the length of the Style is automatically fixed, depending on the selected section.
Select the channel for which you wish to replace the pattern by using the [A]–[D] and [F]–[I] buttons. Call up the Style Selection display by pressing the same button again. Select the Style containing the pattern you want to replace in the Style Selection display. To return to the previous screen, press the [EXIT] button after selecting the Style. [A]–[D], [F]–[I] buttons 4 5 6 5 Select the desired section of the newly imported Style (chosen in step 4) by using the [2 ▲▼]/[3 ▲▼] (SECTION) buttons.
Editing the Rhythmic Feel 1 3 2 1 1 3 In the GROOVE Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu, then edit the data by using the [1 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – 1 GROOVE This lets you add swing to the music or change the “feel” of the beat by making subtle shifts in the timing (clock) of the Style. The Groove settings are applied to all channels of the selected Style.
2 DYNAMICS This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings are applied to each channel or all channels of the selected Style. CHANNEL Selects the desired channel (part) to which Dynamics is to be applied. [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] ACCENT TYPE Determines the type of accent applied—in other words, which notes in the part(s) are emphasized with the Dynamics settings. [6 ▲▼] STRENGTH Determines how strongly the selected Accent Type (above) will be applied.
Editing Data for Each Channel 1 5 4 2 1 3 3 In the CHANNEL Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu. 1 QUANTIZE Same as in the Song Creator (page 55), with the exception of the two additional available parameters below. Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment – Eighth notes with swing Sixteenth notes with swing 2 VELOCITY CHANGE Boosts or cuts the velocity of all notes in the specified channel, according to the percentage specified here.
Making Style File Format Settings The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single unified format. By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create your own Styles. The chart shown below indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm track.) These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature, in the PARAMETER Page.
2 Use the [1 ▲▼]/[2 ▲▼] (CHANNEL) buttons to select the channel to be edited. The selected channel is shown at the upper left of the display. 3 Use the [3 ▲▼]–[8 ▲▼] buttons to edit the data. For details on editable parameters, see pages 32–35. 4 Press the [I] (SAVE) button to execute the Save operation. CAUTION The edited Style will be lost if you change to another Style or turn the power to the instrument off without executing the Save operation.
2 NTR/NTT [3 ▲▼]/ [4 ▲▼] NTR (Note Transposition Rule) Determines the relative position of the root note in the chord, when converted from the Source Pattern in response to chord changes. Refer to the list below. [5 ▲▼]– [7 ▲▼] NTT (Note Transposition Table) Sets the note transposition table for the source pattern. Refer to the list below. [8 ▲▼] NTT BASS ON/ OFF The channel for which this is set to ON will be played back by the bass root note, when the on-bass chord is recognized by the instrument.
3 HARMONIC MINOR 5th In addition to the Harmonic Minor transposition above, augmented and diminished chords affect the 5th note of the Source pattern. NATURAL MINOR When the played chord changes from a major to a minor chord, this table lowers the third, sixth and seventh intervals in the scale by a semitone. When the chord changes from a minor to a major chord, the minor third, flatted sixth and flatted seventh intervals are raised by a semitone. Other notes are not changed.
4 RTR (Retrigger Rule) These settings determine whether notes stop sounding or not and how they change pitch in response to chord changes. STOP The notes stop sounding. PITCH SHIFT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the type of the new chord. PITCH SHIFT TO ROOT The pitch of the note will bend without a new attack to match the root of the new chord. RETRIGGER The note is retriggered with a new attack at a new pitch corresponding to the next chord.
