I Style File Format
The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of Yamaha's auto accompaniment know-how into a single uni-
fied format. By using the Parameter Edit function, you can take advantage of the power of the SFF for-
mat and freely create your own styles.
The chart below indicates the process by which the accompaniment is played back. (This does not apply
to the rhythm track.)
The source pattern in the chart is the original style data. As explained on page 132, in style recording this
source pattern is recorded.
As shown in the chart below, the actual output of the accompaniment is determined by various parameter
settings and chord changes (playing chords in the auto accompaniment section of the keyboard) entered
to this source pattern.

Accompaniment
Since newly created style data is stored to Flash ROM, any pre-programmed data in the selected style location will be erased and
replaced by your new settings. This includes the factory programmed Flash style data (Flash styles I through VIII). If you've deleted
the factory-set data, you can use the Restore function (page 154) to load a copy of it from the included disks (page 6).
