To create an accompaniment style, record patterns to the various channels one by one, for each of the sections you want to create. Section INTRO A - D Channel I Realtime Recording (page 108) You can record accompaniment styles by simply playing the parts from the MAIN A - D FILL IN A - D BREAK RHYTHM 1, RHYTHM 2, BASS, CHORD 1, CHORD 2, PAD, PHRASE 1, PHRASE 2 keyboard in real time. However, you don't have to record every part yourself ENDING A - D - you can choose an existing preset accompaniment style that is close to the style you want, then add or replace parts in that style as needed to create your own custom style. For information on the part structure of accompaniment Realtime Recording Characteristics styles, see page 92. • Loop recording Since auto accompaniment playback repeats the accompaniment patterns of several measures in a "loop," you can also record patterns in a loop. 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 loop (repetition), letting you record new material while hearing the parts you previously recorded. • Overdub recording This feature lets you record new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data. In style recording, the recorded data remains intact, unless you speciﬁcally delete it yourself. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeated. As you record notes to each pass of the loop (repetition), those notes play back from the next loop, letting you overdub new material while hearing the previous parts. I Step Recording (page 109) This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This is ideal for making precise recordings, or for recording parts that are difﬁcult to play. I Assembling an Accompaniment Style (page 110) This convenient feature lets you create composite styles by combining various patterns from the internal preset accompaniment styles. For example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat style, you could take rhythm patterns from the "8 Beat 1" style, use the bass pattern from "8 Beat 2," and import the chord patterns from the "60's 8 Beat" style - combining the various elements to create one accompaniment style. I Editing the created Accompaniment Style (page 111) With the editing features, you can custom edit the styles you've created by real time recording, step recording, and assembling from other styles. 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 60's 8 Beat Rhythm 1 Rhythm 2 Bass Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad Phrase 1 Phrase 2 106 PF-1000

Creating Accompaniment Styles — Style Creator

This powerful feature lets you create your own original styles, which can then be used for auto accompaniment — just

as with the preset styles.

About Creating Accompaniment Styles

The chart at right shows the basic parts (or “channels”) that make up each section

of an accompaniment style. To create an accompaniment style, record patterns to

the various channels one by one, for each of the sections you want to create.

■

Realtime Recording (page 108)

You can record accompaniment styles by simply playing the parts from the

keyboard in real time. However, you don’t have to record every part yourself

— you can choose an existing preset accompaniment style that is close to the

style you want, then add or replace parts in that style as needed to create your

own custom style.

Realtime Recording Characteristics

•

Loop recording

Since auto accompaniment playback repeats the accompaniment patterns of several measures in a “loop,” you can

also record patterns in a loop. 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 loop (repetition), letting you

record new material while hearing the parts you previously recorded.

•

Overdub recording

This feature lets you record new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the

original data. In style recording, the recorded data remains intact, unless you speciﬁcally delete it yourself. For

example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeated. As you record

notes to each pass of the loop (repetition), those notes play back from the next loop, letting you overdub new

material while hearing the previous parts.

■

Step Recording (page 109)

This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows you to enter each note or individually, and

specify its length. This is ideal for making precise recordings, or for recording parts that are difﬁcult to play.

■

Assembling an Accompaniment Style (page 110)

This convenient feature lets you create composite styles by combining

various patterns from the internal preset accompaniment styles. For

example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat style, you

could take rhythm patterns from the “8 Beat 1” style, use the bass

pattern from “8 Beat 2,” and import the chord patterns from the “60’s 8

Beat” style — combining the various elements to create one

accompaniment style.

■

Editing the created Accompaniment Style (page 111)

With the editing features, you can custom edit the styles you’ve

created by real time recording, step recording, and assembling from

other styles.
