Style Creator Style Creator You can create your own styles-recording them by yourself or by combining the internal Style data. The created Styles can be edited. Style Structure Styles are made up of fifteen different sections 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. Four different Fill-ins are available. Style Section Channel Using, Creating and Editing the Auto Accompaniment Styles Creating a Style You can use one of the three different methods described below to create a Style. The created Styles can also be edited (page 124). ■ Realtime Recording ➤ See page 119 This method lets you record the Style by simply playing the instrument. You can select an internal Style that most closely matches your image of the Style you want to create and then re-record parts of the Style as desired, or you can create a new Style from scratch. ■ Step Recording ➤ See page 122 This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This allows you to create a Style without having to play the parts on the instrument, since you can enter each event manually. ■ Style Assembly ➤ See page 123 This convenient feature lets you create composite Styles by combining various pat- terns from the internal preset Styles. For example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat Style, you could take rhythm patterns from the "70's 8Beat" Style, use the bass pattern from "60's Rock1" Style and import the chord patterns from the "Cool8Beat" Style-combining the various elements to create one Style. 70's 8Beat Cool8Beat 60's Rock1 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 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 2 118 PSR-S900/S700 Owner's Manual
