Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)

The Style Creator function lets you create an original Style by recording the rhythm pattern via the keyboard performance

and using the already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want to create, then

record the rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, or phrase (referred to as “Source Pattern” in the Style Creator) for

each channel of each Section. Like the Song, two Recording methods are available: Realtime Recording and Step

Recording (page 49).

 Style Data Structure – Consisting of Source Patterns

A Style is made up of different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate channels, each of

which is referred to as a “Source Pattern.” With the Style Creator feature, you can create a Style by separately recording the

Source Pattern for each channel, or by importing pattern data from other existing Styles.

Limitations on the Audio part (CVP-709 only):

• If you select a preset Audio Style as starting data, the Audio part will be used as is. The Audio part cannot be

deleted, edited or created from scratch.

• The created Style containing the Audio part can be used only via an instrument that supports Audio Styles as well

as the SFF GE format.

• The Audio part cannot be copied from another Style or Section in the “Assembly” display (page 54). If you want to

use a specific Audio part, make sure to select the corresponding Audio Style before calling up the Style Creator

display.
