Styles – Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment –
Making Style File Format Settings
The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha’s auto accompaniment (Style playback) know-how into a single
unified format. By using the Style Creator, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF format and freely create your
own Styles.
The chart shown below indicates the process by which the Style is played back. (This does not apply to the rhythm track.)
These parameters can be set via the Style Creator feature, in the PARAMETER Page.
Chord change via the chord section of the keyboard.
Output
The Tyros4’s Styles are compatible with SFF GE—an enhanced format of the original SFF
with especially rich, expressive guitar parts.

In the PARAMETER Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the
edit menu.
For details of the edit menu, see
page 50
.
Source Pattern settings
—SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD (
page 50
)
The Style data is appropriately converted depending on chord changes you make during your performance.
You can create the “Source Pattern” with the Style Creator, which determines how the played chord will be
converted. Here the “Source Chord” (
page 50
) can be set, allowing you to record accompaniment channels.
Note Transposition settings
—NTR and NTT (
page 51
)
This parameter group features two parameters that determine how the notes of the Source Pattern are to be
converted in response to chord changes,
Other settings
—HIGH KEY, NOTE LIMIT and RTR (
page 52
)
Using the parameters of this group, you can fine-tune how Style playback responds to the chords you play. For
example, the Note Limit parameter allows you to have the Voices of the Style sound as realistic as possible by
shifting the pitch to an authentic range—ensuring that no notes sound outside the natural range of the actual
instrument (e.g., high bass sounds or low piccolo sounds).
The Style files created on the Tyros4 can
only be played back on instruments
which are compatible with SFF GE.
