Editing the rhythm channels has no effect. Source Pattern SOURCE ROOT (Chord Root setting of a Source Pattern) SOURCE CHORD (Chord Type setting of a Source Pattern) Chord change via the chord section of the keybaord. Note Transposition NTR (Note Transposition Rule applied to the Chord Root change) NTT (Note Transposition Table applied to the Chord Type change) 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 at left 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. · Source Pattern There are a variety of possibilities for Style playback notes, depending on the particular root note and chord type that are selected. The Style data is appropriately converted depending on the chord changes you make during your performance. This basic Style data that you create with the Style Creator is referred to as the "Source Pattern. " · Note Transposition 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 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. , very low notes of a piccolo sound).
