Yamaha 9000Pro Owner's Manual - Page 138

Initial Setup Style Creator Custom Style Recording via an External Sequence Recorder You can create custom styles for the 9000Pro using an external sequencer (or personal computer with sequencing software), instead of using the 9000Pro's STYLE CREATOR function. I Connections • Connect the 9000Pro MIDI OUT to the sequencer MIDI IN, and the sequencer MIDI OUT to the 9000Pro MIDI IN. • Make sure that the sequencer "ECHO" function is ON, and the 9000Pro LOCAL ON/OFF (page 175) is turned OFF. I Creating the Data • Record all sections and parts using a CM7 (C major seventh) chord. • Record the parts on the MIDI channels listed below, using the 9000Pro's internal tone generator. Optimum compatibility with other instruments which are both XG and SFF (Style File Format) compatible can be achieved by using only the XG voices. Part Rhythm1 Rhythm2 Bass Chord1 Chord2 Pad Phrase1 Phrase2 MIDI Ch. 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 • Record the sections in the order listed below, with a Marker Meta-event at the top of each section. Enter the Marker Meta-events exactly as shown (including upper/ lower case characters and spaces). • Also include an "SFF1" Marker Meta-event, "SInt" Marker Meta-event and style name Meta-event at 1|1|000 (the top of the sequence track), and the GM on Sys/Ex message (F0, 7E, 7F, 09, 01, F7). ("Timing" in the chart is based on 480 clocks per quarter note. "1|1|000" is clock "0" of the first beat of the first measure). • The data from 1|1|000 through 1|4|479 is the "Initial Setup", and 2|1|000 through the end of Ending B is the "Source Pattern". • The timing of the Fill In AA and subsequent Marker Metaevents will depend on the length of each section.
