Style Creator The PSR-9000 lets you create original styles which can be used for auto accompaniment in the same way as the preset styles. Guidelines for Style Creating When creating a song (page 88), you record your keyboard performance to the PSR9000 as MIDI data. Creating of styles, however, is done in a different way. The Style Creator provides two basic ways: assembling and recording. s Assembling styles ....... Page 107 The Style Creator provides two basic ways to assemble styles: q Easy Edit This method lets you assemble styles based on the preset/flash style that is most similar to the style you wish to create.

For example, in creating your own 8-beat style, you could take the rhythm pattern from the "8 Beat 1" style, use the bass pattern from the "8 Beat 2" style, and take the chord pattern from the "Pop Rock" style - combining the various elements to create one style. 8Beat 1 Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 8Beat 2 Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Pop Rock Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 Store as Custom Style to Flash ROM s Recording styles (Full Edit ....... page 110) When recording a song, you record your keyboard performance to the PSR-9000 as MIDI data. Recording styles, however, is done in a different way. Here are some of the aspects in which style recording differs from song recording: q Using Preset Styles As shown in the chart at right, when you select the preset/flash style that is the closest to the type of style you wish to create, the preset style data will be copied to a special memory location for recording. You create (record) your new, original style by adding or deleting data from the memory location. All parts (with the exception of the rhythm track) of preset styles must be cleared before recording (page 111). q Loop Recording Auto accompaniment repeats the accompaniment 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. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing previously recorded material.

In style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as Clear and Drum Cancel (page 110). For example, if you start recording with a two-measure main section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. 104 Reference q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q q 102
