Adjusting the Parameters of Each Part—Mixer
You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style or a MIDI Song by selectively turning channels on/off.
1 In the Mixer display, touch the [Style] tab or [Song] tab.
2 Touch the Channel which you want to turn on/off.
If you want to play back only one particular channel (solo playback), touch and
hold the desired channel until the number is highlighted in purple. To cancel solo,
simply touch the (purple) channel number again.
3 As necessary, make other settings, and then save them as a
Style file or Song file (step 5 on page 84).

Style Channels
Each Style contains the channels listed below.
• Rhythm 1/2: These are the basic parts of the Style, containing the drum and percussion rhythm patterns.
• Bass: The bass part uses various appropriate instrument sounds to match the Style.
• Chord 1/2: These comprise the rhythmic chord backing, commonly consisting of piano or guitar Voices.
• Pad: This part is used for sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir, etc.
• Phrase 1/2: These parts are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accom-
paniment more interesting.
