Style Types (Characteristics)

Free Play

DJ

+Audio (PSR-SX900) The Audio Styles (+Audio) have been specially produced by adding audio recordings of studio

musicians playing in various recording studios worldwide. This adds exceptionally natural feel,

ambience and warmth to the drums and percussion of the Style, giving your performance greater

expressive potential. Specifically, it retains the subtle nuances and grooves that are difficult to

reproduce using the preset drum/percussion kit. Yamaha Time Stretch Technology allows the audio

to follow your tempo changes without changing pitch, so everything stays in perfect sync.

Audio Styles can be played back and controlled by this instrument; however, by default the data is

not included on this instrument. Audio Styles or Expansion Packs that contain Audio Styles may be

available at the Yamaha website.

• If the tempo is set to over 160% of the default, the audio part is muted.

• Keep in mind that the Audio Styles may take more time to load than others, and that they may have certain restrictions and

differ in the specific functions that can be handled.

The Chord Fingering type determines how chords are specified for Style Playback. You can select the desired type on

the display called up via [MENU]  [Split & Fingering].

Changing the Chord Fingering Type

Single Finger Makes it simple to produce orchestrated accompaniment using major, seventh, minor and minor-

seventh chords by pressing only one, two or three keys on the Chord section of the keyboard.

Multi Finger Automatically detects Single Finger or Fingered chord fingerings, so you can use either type of fin-

gering without having to switch fingering types.

Fingered Lets you specify the chord by pressing the notes making up a chord in the left hand section of the

keyboard when ACMP is turned on or the Left part is turned on. For information on which notes to

press for each chord, refer to the Data List (Chord Types Recognized in the Fingered Mode) down-

loadable from Yamaha Manual Library, or use the Chord Tutor function as described in the next

section.

Fingered On Bass Accepts the same fingerings as Fingered; however, the lowest note played in the Chord section of

the keyboard is used as the bass note, allowing you to play “on bass” chords. (In the Fingered type,

the root of the chord is always used as the bass note.)

Full Keyboard Detects chords in the entire key range. Chords are detected in a way similar to Fingered, even if you

split the notes between your left and right hands—for example, playing a bass note with your left

hand and a chord with your right, or by playing a chord with your left hand and a melody note with

your right.

AI Fingered Basically the same as Fingered, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to indi-

cate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.).

AI Full Keyboard This type is similar to Full Keyboard, with the exception that less than three notes can be played to

indicate the chords (based on the previously played chord, etc.). 9th, 11th and 13th chords cannot

be played.

• “AI” stands for “Artificial Intelligence.”

• When the chord detection area is set to “Upper,” only “Fingered*” is available. This type is basically same as “Fingered,” except that “1+5,” “1+8” and Chord Cancel are

not available.

The Chord Tutor function lets you can see which notes to press for specifying the chord. If you know a chord name but

don’t know how to play it, use this function.

This function can be used on the display called up via [MENU]  [Chord Tutor].

The notes you need to play are shown in the display.

Using the Chord Tutor Function

Root Lets you select the desired chord root.

Type Lets you select the desired chord type.

• Although this function shows how to play a chord only in case of “Fingered,” the indication is useful also when a type other than “Single Finger” is selected.

• Depending on the chord, some notes will be omitted.

NOTE

Styles

You can add variations and change the feeling of a Style by selectively turning channels on/off as the Style plays.

Style channels can be turned on or off on the display called up via [MENU]  [Channel On/Off].

If you want to play back only one particular channel (solo playback), touch and hold the desired channel name until it

turns purple. To cancel solo, simply touch the (purple) channel name again.

Turning Each Channel of the Style On/Off

Style channels

Each Style contains the channels listed below.

• Rhythm 1/2: These are the basic parts of the Style, containing the drum and percussion rhythm patterns.

• Bass: The bass part uses various appropriate instrument sounds to match the Style.

• Chord 1/2: These parts are for rhythmic chord backing, commonly consisting of piano or guitar Voices.

• Pad: This part is used for sustained instruments such as strings, organ, choir, etc.

• Phrase 1/2: These parts are used for punchy brass stabs, arpeggiated chords, and other extras that make the accom-

paniment more interesting.

(PSR-SX900)

• Audio: This is an audio part of the Audio Style.

You can also turn the channels on/off on the Mixer display.

To change the Voice for each channel:

Touch the instrument icon below the desired channel to call up the Voice Selection display, then select the desired

Voice.

You can save the settings here to Registration Memory. For details, refer to the Owner’s Manual.

NOTE

(PSR-SX900) The Voice of the Audio part of the Audio Style cannot be changed.

NOTE

12 PSR-SX900/SX700 Reference Manual

You can make a variety of settings for Style Playback, on the display called up via [MENU]  [Style Setting].

Setting

Style Playback Related Settings

Dynamics Control This determines how the Style playback volume changes depending on the playing strength.

• Off: The volume is kept the same regardless of playing strength.

• Narrow: The volume changes over a narrow range.

• Medium: The volume changes over a medium range.

• Wide: The volume changes over a wide range.

Display Tempo Turns the tempo indication on or off for each Style on the Style Selection display.

Stop ACMP When the [ACMP] button is turned on and the [SYNC START] button is off, you can play chords in

the chord section of the keyboard with the Style stopped, and still hear the accompaniment chord.

In this condition—called “Stop Accompaniment”—any valid chord fingerings are recognized and

the chord root/type are shown in the Style area of the Home display. Here, you can determine

whether the chord played in the chord section will sound or not in the Stop Accompaniment status.

• Off: The chord played in the chord section will not sound.

• Style: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the Voices for the Pad channel and the

Bass channel of the selected Style.

• Fixed: The chord played in the chord section will sound via the specified Pad/Bass channels’

Voices, regardless of the selected Style.

OTS Link Timing This applies to the OTS Link function. This parameter determines the timing in which the One

Touch Settings change with the MAIN VARIATION [A]–[D] change. (The [OTS LINK] button

must be on.)

• Real Time: One Touch Setting is immediately called up when you press a MAIN VARIATION

button.

• Next Bar: One Touch Setting is called up at the next measure, after you press a MAIN VARIA-

TION button.

Synchro Stop Window This determines how long you can hold a chord before the Synchro Stop function is automatically

cancelled. When the [SYNC STOP] button is turned on and this is set to a value other than “Off,”

the Synchro Stop function is automatically cancelled if you hold a chord for longer than the time set

here. This conveniently resets Style playback control to normal, letting you release the keys and

still have the Style play. In other words, if you release the keys more quickly than the time set here,

the Synchro Stop function works.

When the selected Style contains MegaVoices, unexpected sounds may result when this is set to “Style.”

NOTE

When you record a Song, the chord detected by playing the Stop Accompaniment can be recorded regardless of the setting

here. Please note that both the sounding Voice and chord data is recorded when set to “Style,” and only the chord data is

recorded when set to “Off” or “Fixed.”

Determines whether or not the repeat playback of a Multi Pad stops when Style playback is

stopped.

Multi Pad Synchro Stop

(Style Ending)

Determines whether or not the repeat playback of a Multi Pad stops when the Ending section of

Style is played back.

Section Set Determines the default section that is automatically called up when selecting different Styles (when

Style playback is stopped). When set to “Off” and Style playback is stopped, the active section is

maintained even if a different Style is selected. When any of the MAIN A–D sections are not

included in the Style data, the nearest section is automatically selected. For example, when MAIN

D is not contained in the selected Style, MAIN C will be called up.

Tempo This determines whether the tempo changes or not when you change the Style.

• Lock: Regardless of playback status, the tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained.

• Hold: While the Style is playing back, the tempo setting of the previous Style is maintained.

While the Style is stopped, the tempo changes to that of the default tempo of the selected Style.

• Reset: Regardless of playback status, the tempo changes to that of the default tempo for the

18 PSR-SX900/SX700 Reference Manual

The Style Creator function lets you create your original Style by recording the rhythm pattern via the keyboard and

using 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.

Style Data Structure—Consisting of Source Patterns

A Style is made up of different Sections (Intro, Main, Ending, etc.) and each Section has eight separate channels, each

of which is referred to as a “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.

Creating/Editing Styles (Style Creator)

(PSR-SX900) Limitations on the Audio part:

• If you select an Audio Style as starting data, the Audio part will be used as is. The Audio part cannot be deleted,

edited or created from scratch.

• The created Style containing the Audio part can be used only via an instrument that supports Audio Styles as well

as the SFF GE format.

• The Audio part cannot be copied from another Style or Section in the “Assembly” display (page 24). If you want to

use a specific Audio part, make sure to select the corresponding Audio Style before calling up the Style Creator

display.

Basic Procedure for Creating a Style

1 Select the desired Style to be used as the basis for the new Style.

2 Call up the Style Creator display via [MENU]  [Style Creator].

3 On the “Basic” display, select the desired Section.

As necessary, make the following settings.

• If you want to create a Style entirely from scratch, touch [Initialize Style] to make the current Style empty.

• If you initialize the Style, set the “Pattern Length” (measure amount of the Source Pattern). After inputting the

value, touch [Execute] to actually enter the changes.

• Set the overall parameters such as “Tempo” and “Time Signature.” The settings here commonly applies to all

Sections. After setting the Time Signature, touch [Execute] to actually enter the changes.

4 Create the Source Pattern for each channel.

• Realtime Recording (page 20)

Lets you record the Style by simply playing the keyboard.

• Step Recording (page 23)

Lets you enter each note individually.

•Style Assembly (page 24)

Lets you copy various patterns from other preset Styles or Styles you have already created.

5 Edit the already recorded channel data.

• Channel Edit (page 24)

Lets you edit the MIDI data of the already recorded channels.

•SFF Edit (page 26)

Lets you edit the SFF (Style File Format) related parameters of already recorded channels other than Rhythm

channels.

• Drum Setup (page 30)

Lets you edit the rhythm part of the Style, such as changing the sounds of the individual instruments.

6 Repeat steps 3–5 as desired.

7 Touch (Save) to save the created Style.

You can also select the Section by pressing one of the corresponding STYLE CONTROL buttons on the panel.

(PSR-SX900) If an Audio Style is selected as starting data, changing the pattern length deletes the corresponding Audio part.

NOTE

The created Style will be lost if

you change to another Style or

turn off the power to the instru-

ment without carrying out the

Save operation.

Realtime Recording

The explanations here apply to step 4 of the Basic Procedure on page 19. In the “Rec Channel” display, you can create

the channel data via Realtime Recording.

 Recording Rhythm Channels 1–2

1 On the “Rec Channel” display, touch and hold the desired channel until it turns red.

The selected channel becomes the Recording target no matter whether the channel already contains data or not. If

recorded data is already included, you should record the additional notes to the selected channel as Overdub

Recording.

2 If necessary, select a Voice, and then practice the rhythm pattern to be recorded.

Touch the instrument icon (illustration) to call up the Voice Selection display then select the desired Voice such as

a Drum Kit. After selecting, close the Voice Selection display to return to the Style Creator display. With the

selected Voice, practice the rhythm pattern to be recorded.

Realtime Recording Characteristics in the Style Creator

• Loop Recording

Style playback repeats the rhythm patterns of several measures in a “loop,” and Style recording is also done using

loops. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeatedly

recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next repetition (loop), letting you record while hearing

previously recorded material.

• Overdub Recording

This method records new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the original data.

In Style recording, the recorded data is not deleted, except when using functions such as “Clear Drum Inst”

(page 21) “Delete” (pages 21, 23) and “Remove Event” (page 25). For example, if you start recording with a two-

measure Main section, the two measures are repeated many times. Notes that you record will play back from the

next repetition, letting you overdub new material to the loop while hearing previously recorded material. When

creating a Style based on an existing internal Style, overdub recording is applied only to the rhythm channels. For

all other channels (except rhythm), you need to delete the original data before recording.

(PSR-SX900) If you select an Audio Style as starting data:

Playback of the Audio part can be turned on or off, but it cannot be edited or deleted. Note that the rhythm pattern of

this part will be used in the new Style you intend to create. If you want to create a rhythm phrase in addition to the

Audio part, follow the steps below.
