[. . . ] For example, when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to "8 Beat" and BEAT CONVERTER is set to "12, " all 8th notes in the section are shifted to 8th-note triplet timing. The "16A" and "16B" Beat Converter which appear when ORIGINAL BEAT is set to "12 Beat" are variations on a basic 16th-note setting. Produces a "swing" feel by shifting the timing of the back beats, depending on the ORIGINAL BEAT parameter above. For example, if the specified ORIGINAL BEAT value is "8 Beat", the Swing parameter will selectively delay the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th beats of each measure to create a swing feel. The settings "A" through "E" produce different degrees of swing, with "A" being the most subtle and "E" being the most pronounced. Selects a variety of Groove "templates" to be applied to the selected section. The "PUSH" settings cause certain beats to be played early, while "HEAVY" settings delay the timing of certain beats. The numbered settings (2, 3, 4, 5) determine which beats are to be affected. All beats up to the specified beat--but not including the first beat--will be played early or delayed (for example, the 2nd and 3rd beats, if "3" is selected). In all cases, "A" types produce minimum effect, "B" types produce medium effect, and "C" types produce maximum effect. [5 ]/ [6 ] SWING [7 ]/ [8 ] FINE E5ARE Owner's Manual 125 2 DYNAMICS This changes the velocity/volume (or accent) of certain notes in the Style playback. The Dynamics settings are applied to each channel or all channels of the selected Style. 1 QUANTIZE Same as in the Song Creator (page 151), with the exception of the two additional available parameters below. 2 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. Source Pattern settings--SOURCE (PLAY) ROOT/CHORD (page 129) 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 129) can be set, allowing you to record accompaniment channels. 2 Styles ­ Playing Rhythm and Accompaniment ­ Chord change via the chord section of the keyboard. Note Transposition settings--NTR and NTT (page 130) 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 131) 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). Output The E5ARE's Styles are compatible with SFF GE--an enhanced format of the original SFF with especially rich, expressive guitar parts. NOTE The Style files created on the E5ARE can only be played back on instruments which are compatible with SFF GE. 1 In the PARAMETER Page, use the [A]/[B] buttons to select the edit menu.
