Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator); Basic Procedure For Creating A Style - Yamaha DGX-670 Reference Manual

Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)

The Style Creator function lets you create original Styles by recording rhythm patterns from the keyboard
and using already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want to
create, and then record the rhythm pattern, bass line, chord backing, or phrase (referred to as "Source
Pattern" in the Style Creator) for each channel of each Section.
 Style Data Structure — Source Patterns
A Style is made up of the different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate
channels, each of which is referred to as "Source Pattern." With the Style Creator feature, you can create a
Style by separately recording the Source Pattern for each channel, or by importing pattern data from other
existing Styles.
