■ Creating a Style from a Song
You Composed Yourself
(Style Converter)
You can take a song you’ve composed yourself and extract
the portions you need to create your own original Style.
When you’re composing a song, there’s no need to specify all
the chords. You can specify some of the chords, and the KR
automatically chooses the other chords and arranges the
style. This function is called the “Style Converter.”
Style Converter features an “Auto mode” that allows you to
easily create Styles from songs with a single chord, and a
“Manual mode,” in which you create Styles from songs with
three kinds of chords–major, minor, and seventh chords.
When creating a song in order to create an music style, it’s
good practice to consider the arrangement of the music style.
Style Arrangements
A Music Style is made up of five performance parts:
“Rhythm,” “Bass,” “Accompaniment 1,” “Accompaniment
2” and “Accompaniment 3.”
A song progresses in predictable a sequence, such as intro,
melody A, melody B, bridge and ending.
With the KR, such changes in songs are allocated to the
following six performance states. We call these six parts of a
song “Divisions.”
You can make a song more lively or more restrained by
increasing or reducing played parts by Divisions. You can
also modify a song by changing the Tone of the parts in the
Divisions.
