Creating

Your Own Styles

The Conductor allows you to edit the Style data and personalize it

to your taste.

The Style Maker allows you to create Styles of your own.

There are three ways of using this feature: Make a New Style, Edit

an Existing Style, and Phrase Combination.

The Concert Performer contains 182 built-in Styles covering a wide

variety of musical genres. There are two powerful features that

allow you to edit any of these Styles to better suit your musical

tastes, or even create your own Style entirely from scratch! These

are the Conductor and the Style Maker.

Conductor

The Conductor is used to edit Preset data.

Easy Style Edit

This is an easy way to edit the Style data. The CP built-in styles are comprised

three different types, Full, Intimate, and Solo Piano Styles. A Full Style

consists of six instrument tracks called Sections. These are the Drums,

Bass, and four Accompaniment tracks. The Intimate Styles have four

Sections, Drum, Bass, And T wo Accompaniment tracks. The Solo piano

Styles have two Accompaniment Tracks (Right and Left hand) and no Drum

or Bass tracks.

When you play a Style, each of these sections plays a musical Phrase

composed for that type of instrument. Each section can play one of four

different musical phrases, one for each of the four variations within a Style.

Easy Edit lets you assign which of these four Phrases will be played by each

section for each of the four variations within the style. This means you can

mix and match the different phrases for each section to create your own

unique arrangements. Once you are satisfied with your edits, you can save

your Easy Style edits to the PRESET STYLE.
