Making Style File Format Settings (Parameter) The instructions below apply to step 6 of the Basic Procedure on page 27. The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha's auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single unified format. Setting the SFF related parameters determines how the original notes are converted to the actual sounded notes based on the chord you specify in the Chord area of the keyboard. The conversion flow is shown below. Source Pattern settings • Source Root • Source Chord Determines what key and what chord type are used for playing. Set these parameters before recording. Chord changes during normal performance Note Conversion from the Source Pattern • NTR (Conversion via Chord Root change) ... page 38 • NTT (Conversion via Chord Type change) ... page 38 3 Styles Octave Setting of the Converted Notes • High Key (Upper octave limit of Note Transposition) • Note Limit (Note range between the highest and lowest notes) Set these parameters after recording. Others • RTR (How the note pitch changes in response to chord changes) Actual Sounded Notes The parameters shown above can be set in the Parameter page.
