These contain their own special chord progressions, so you can add chord changes to your performance simply by changing the root key. The Multi Pad (page 76) data in the "DJ Phrase" folder are specially created for these Styles. You can call up the suitable Multi Pads by using the One Touch Setting function (page 53). NOTE You cannot specify the chord type, such as major and minor, when using the DJ Styles. • Audio Styles (PSR-S970) The audio Styles (+Audio) have been specially produced by adding audio recordings of studio musicians playing in various recording studios worldwide. This adds all the natural feel, ambience and warmth to the drums and percussion of the Style, giving your performance greater expressive potential. Specifically, it retains the subtle nuances and grooves that are difficult to reproduce using the preset drum/percussion kit. Yamaha Time Stretch Technology allows the audio to follow your tempo changes without changing pitch, so everything stays in perfect sync. NOTE • If the tempo is set to over 160% of the default, the audio part is muted. The maximum tempo (at which the audio part can be played) is shown in brackets at the upper right corner of the Style name. • Keep in mind that the audio Styles may take more time to load than others, and that they may have certain restrictions and differ in the specific functions that can be handled.

This instrument can play back existing SFF files, but they will be saved in the SFF GE format when the file is saved (or pasted) in this instrument. Please keep in mind that the saved file can only be played back on instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format. PSR-S970/S770 Owner's Manual 49
