Recording Styles and Pads

Reference

accompaniment sequences (string, guitar, piano or other accom-

paniment instruments).

Just to summarize, when you play a chord on the chord recogni-

tion area, the arranger determines which Style Element is used,

then determines which Chord Variation should be used for the

played chord, then Style sequences for every track of that Chord

Variation are transposed from the original chord to the recog-

nized chord, and so on every time you play a chord.

The Pad’s structure

A Pad is basically a single-track Style. Most of what applies to

Style recording also applies to Pad recording.

There are two different categories of Pads:

•“Hit” Pads. While they are

mostly used as non-transpos-

ing events, they can also be

transposing notes or chords.

Basically, they are single-note

or single-chord Sequences

(see below).

• “Sequence” Pads, i.e., complex

single-track patterns, that can

be transposed by playing dif-

ferent chords on the keyboard

– exactly as a Style track. They

are roughly equivalent to sin-

gle-element, single-track,

multi-chord variation Styles

(see illustration).

Each Pad is made up of up to six smaller units, called Chord

Variation s (CV ) . Each Chord Variation is made of a single track

(the Pad track).

Exactly as with the Styles, when playing a chord in the chord rec-

ognition area, the corresponding Chord Variation is recalled.

Recognized chords are associated to a Chord Variation by means

of the Chord Variation Table. Each Pad contains a Chord Varia-

tion Table.

As with the Styles, the Note Transposition Tables (NTT) applies

to the Pads.

The same differences between the different types of tracks

applies (see “Track Type” on page 155).

Ordinary, Guitar and Drum tracks

There are different types of tracks (see “Track Type” on

page 156), and each of them is treated in a different way by the

arranger;

• Acc (Accompaniment) and Bass tracks: When a chord is

recognized, the programmed chord notes are transposed to

a suitable scale, according to the Note Transposition

Tables (NTT) The NTT allows you to record just some

Chord Variations, and have all the notes play in the right

place, avoiding dissonances and transposing the pattern

notes to the notes of the recognized chord.

• Drum & and Perc (Percussion) tracks: No transposition is

applied.The original pattern plays always.

• Gtr (Guitar) tracks: When a chord is recognized, the

arranger triggers single notes, strumming and arpeggios on

a “virtual guitar”, keeping care of the way notes are played

on the guitar keyboard. Note that inside a Guitar track you

can also have some parts typical of an Acc track - a useful

addition for short “free-form” passages.

What to record in a Style

Recording a Style means recording tracks, inside a series of

Chord Variations, inside a series of Style Elements, inside the

Style itself.

You don’t have to record all Chord Variations for all Style Ele-

ments. It is often only needed to record a single Chord Variation

for each Style Element. Exceptions are the Intro 1 and Ending 1,

where we suggest to record both a Major and minor Chord Vari-

ations.

What to record in a Pad

Recording a Pad is a matter of recording a single track, inside a

series of Chord Variations, inside the Pad itself.

You don’t need to record all Chord Variations. It is often only

needed to record just a Chord Variation.

Pattern data vs. track data

While the Style/Pad Record mode is where you can create or edit

the music patterns, track parameters (like Volume, Pan, Octave

Transpose, FX settings…) are to be edited in Style Play mode.

• After having created or edited music patterns in Style/Pad

Record mode, save them by selecting the “Write Style” or

“Write Pad” command from the page menu of the Style

Record mode (see “Write Style/Pad dialog box” on

page 162).

• After having edited track parameters in Style Play mode,

save them to the Style Settings by selecting the “Write Cur-

rent Style Settings” command from the page menu of the

Style Play mode (see “Write Current Style Settings dialog

box” on page 129).

Sounds

There are two ways of assigning Sounds to the Style tracks.

• While in Style Record mode you can assign different

Sounds to each Style Element in the “Style Element Track

Controls: Sound/Expression” page (see “Sounds area” on

page 137). You can assign a Sound to the Pad in the same

page of the Pad Record mode.

• While in Style Play mode, you can assign a single Sound to

the Style Settings (together with the other track parame-

ters), that remains the same for all Style Elements.

Which Sounds are used by the Style tracks depends on the status

of the “Original Style Sounds” parameter (see page 110).

Note: When assigning a Sound in Style Play mode, the “Original

Style Sounds” parameter is automatically turned off.
