Programming Styles (Style Composer)

r
E-60/E-50 Music Workstation
In Style Composer mode, the metronome sounds
during recording, unless you switch it off using the
TEMPO [METRONOME] button. If you also need the
metronome when listening to what you have just
recorded, select another metronome mode. See
“Metronome settings” on p. 59.
Note: Save your Style before trying it out with the Arranger.
If the Style stops unexpectedly during playback in
Arranger mode, try different chords. Chances are that
you only programmed the major pattern, so that the
Arranger selects an empty pattern when you play a
minor or seventh chord. Remember to set the Mode
parameter to “M= m=7” until you have come to grips
with the possibilities of the E-60/E-50’s Arranger.
That way, those three patterns will sound alike, but at
least you are sure that the Arranger does not stop
when you play a minor or seventh chord.
Using existing Styles
Another way of programming Styles is to use parts
from other Styles. The E-60/E-50 allows you to:
• Select the desired Style (to copy it to the Style RAM
memory) and edit it.
• Copy one or all tracks of the selected Division.
• Copy just a few notes of an existing part.
• Copy tracks or notes between Divisions.
This allows you to create new Styles by assembling
tracks from different existing Styles.
Note: You cannot copy an AccDrums track to another track
(AccBass~Acc6). Likewise, the bass part can only be copied to
an ABass track. Accomp tracks, however, can be copied to
whichever Accomp track you like.
Note: If the Style RAM memory already contains new data,
save it before copying. The E-60/E-50 has no Undo function.
Saving a Style before copying allows you to revert to the previ-
ous version if something goes wrong. See “Saving your Style”
on page 157.
Starting with all tracks of an existing Style
The easiest way to do this is by selecting a factory Style
and edit it.
(1) Select the Style you want to work with (see p. 25).
(2) Press the [MENU] button.
The display changes to:
(3) Press the [STYLE¥COMPOSER] field.
(4) Change the Style data to your liking.
