Recording Styles and Pads
By entering the Style/Pad Record mode, you can create your own
Styles or Pads, or edit an existing Style or Pad.
Recording Styles and Pads
Styles and Pads share most of the same structure and recording/
editing operations. Here is how they are made.
The Style’s structure
The term “Style” relates with music sequences automatically
played by the arranger of the Pa900. A Style consists of a pre-
defined number of Style Elements (E) (Pa900 features fifteen
different Style Elements: Variation 1-4, Intro 1-3, Fill 1-4, Break,
Ending 1-3). When playing, most of these Style Elements can be
directly selected by using the corresponding buttons on the con-
trol panel.
To explain the Style structure, we can use a tree structure, as
shown in the following diagram:
Each Style Element is made up of smaller units, called Chord
Variations (CV), but not all of them have the same number of
CVs. Variations 1-4 have up to 6 CVs each, while the other Style
Elements have only up to 2 CVs.
When you play in the chord recognition area (Lower, Upper
or
Full, depending on the On or Off status of the SPLIT button), the
arranger scans the keyboard and determines which chord you
are playing. Then, depending on the selected Style Element, it
determines which Chord Variation (CV) should be played for
the scanned chord. Which Chord Variation corresponds to each
scanned chord is a setting of the Style: the Chord Variation
Tabl e. Each Style Element contains a Chord Variation Table,
whose prototype is the following:
After deciding what CV to play, the arranger triggers the right
sequence for each track. Since each sequence is written in a par-
ticular key (for example, CMajor, GMajor or Emin), the arranger
transposes it according to the scanned chord. Notes in the
sequence are carefully transposed, to make them work fine with
all recognized chords.
Going deeper into the Style structure, we can see that each
Chord Variation is made up of Track Sequences, and the Pa900
supports 8 different tracks. DRUM and PERC are used for drum
and percussion sequences, BASS for bass and ACC1-5 are for
