Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator) - Yamaha Clavinova CVP-609 Reference Manual

Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)

The Style Creator function lets you create your original Style by recording the rhythm pattern via the keyboard
performance and using the already-recorded Style data. Basically, select a preset Style that is closest to the type you want
to create, 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. Like the Song, two Recording methods are available: Realtime Recording and
Step Recording (page 48).
 Style Data Structure – Consisting of 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.
