When I use style assembly, I select all sections, choose it and walk through all sections and set the right section. I also copy all needed source styles into the same folder.

[@pedromseleuterio]

Ok. It’s ok to do that too. You don’t need to copy all source styles to the same folder, but it’s easier to select inside assembly. Nice tip.

[@rcjwhiting]

Outstanding tutorial on an important feature of these keyboards. The manuals don’t cover this feature adequately. Thank you! Obrigado!

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello. Thank you for your comment. You're right, it's not easy to use it and to create new styles. I have more two tutorials (the third in portuguese) - turn the english subtitles on and take a look. Please, subscribe to my channel and take a look at my other videos. I sell my styles at www.styles4k.com. Take a look. Regards from Brazil, Pedro

Hi Pedro that's its fantastic, I wanted to learn how to use the style creator and incredibly time after time was the song I had in mind! I will have to watch your video a few times as you going a little too fast for me when playing the notes and also the copy and paste in assembly but thank you so much for showing. I hope that you will do more videos like this (not too complicated songs I hope). Felix Natal!

[@gerardmanse5076]

Pedro: Excellent tutorial. I have a PSR S975 and can adapt your tutorial to the style creator on that keyboard. Of course, a little easier if I had a touch screen, but I think I can do it regardless. You have a very good way of explaining a very cumbersome part of mastering the keyboard.

Excellent Tutorial, Pedro. Thank you so much for the effort you have made. May a suggest, just for future videos, your pronunciation of "chords" should be like "Kords". No offense meant, I know English is not your language. Otherwise, an excellent work!

Thanks for the video, very helpful. How do you choose whether to record parts on Chord 1 Chord 2 Pad, Phrase etc...? Is there a reason for particular type of parts to choose one over the other?

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello, MC. Thanks for your comment. Take a look at my other style creator tutorials and songs, and subscribe to the channel. Well, about your question, it's kind a yamaha tradition to put the main style struments on CHORD1/CHORD2 (like pianos/guitars), the chord pads, chord voices and chord strings on PAD, brass, synths and other specific riffs to PHRASE1/2. You may keep in mind, it's possible to use the live control knobs (like I used during "Without You" song - take a look), which the position of the tracks is important to use that controls... Hope I answered. Regards from Brazil, Pedro

Hello my friend. How would you create the latin music for salsa rythm and Merengue plus bachata rhythms

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello, David. Well, it's possible to create every kind of styles, including latin music and merengue. For these styles, I think the hardest thing will be to create the drums and percussion beats. Regards from Brazil, Pedro

[@bobn1944]

High Pedro. Since my last comment I have followed your video & created this same style for my SX900, ( although it didn't turn out as good as yours ). I have a question for you. In style creator, when I play the song back, pad & guitar voices are too high pitch. Chords C & Dm are ok but G & Em are pitch too high. I'm sure there is a way to correct this but not sure how. Any ideas please. I'm attempting to create a style for 'Live to Tell' now. I think we have the same taste in music. Best wishes Bob

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello, Bob. Thanks. If G and Em are too high, just go to style creator, select the part you want, go to SFF, there is a "High Note" option there. Just increase it to A or B, must solve the problem. Take a look at my second and third tutorials, I'm sure I talked about it. Regards from Brazil, Pedro. You may know I have my styles available at www.styles4k.com, so you can buy them if you want to.

una prengunta amigo cuando grabo por ejemplo un string o violin quiero q se que quede sonando el sonido q se mantenga como lo hago un muy bien sigue asi y espro tu respuesta o me ayudrias con un video es sobre una cancion orchestral algo relacionado

[@pedromseleuterio]

Well. I don't know if I understand right your question. But, if you want to some style part (violin) be fixed, doesn't changing when chord changes, you must set the style part with "bypass". This way, it will sound exactly you've recorded, no matter what chord you do... Regards, Pedro

[@brokerhc]

It is a pity your great styles are not compatible with my PSR 770. I also need a custom style for a midi file that I have been trying to covert for months but because of my old age it has been difficult.

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello. Thanks for your comment. Now, all my styles are compatible with genos, sx900 and sx700 (also psr-S970/975). Sorry, they aren’t compatible with 770. Best wishes. Pedro

[@wimschiphorst8541]

A good video too. But some remarks. Style Creating is not so easy. One of the things you mentioned is doing it in C. But actually you must do it in CMaj7 Also mentioned in the manual. That's in your video where you do an apreggio C E G C. You must do C E G B. Does not sound correct if you play it by making the style but after saving it it sounds OK. This is for playing minished and seventh chord in your left hand and makes that sounds correct. The guitar part you do is OK but the professional styles use the notes for a Rhythm Guitar as an example F2 G2 A2 B2 or octav higher. For longer sounding chords D2 E2 F2 F2 A2 and B2 This sounds really ugcly. But again after saving and playing it 's sounds OK. And than we have the NTR NTT High and Low Key, Source Root and Chord. But that's only for the professional. As I said before the instruction is OK. Maybe you try next time the CMaj7 and experiment with that also for guitar parts. Greetings Wim

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello, Wim. Thank you very much for your hints. I always use the C scale. The CMaj7 chord I agree, sometimes you may insert the Maj7 (B) - thanks. To that music (time after time), I thought C E G C sound very close to the original. I will try C E G B next time for sure. About the guitar chord, I play in a band too and to create the style, I always think about what notes my rhythm guitar player friend will gonna play. To a C chord, for sure he'll play the notes C E G C E in the five strings of the rhythm guitar, because for C, the first string (E) is not played. That's the reason I recorded this way. Of course I will try your combinations for rhythm guitar next time - thank you for your pro tips. For sure, it will help me and all other users to create their own styles. Besides that, I do like the result I achieved at all, the other video I play the song (kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKnWgIljp71skNk) and it is very close to the original - a lot of people asked about the style I used and how I created, so I recorded the tuturial just to help them. Once again, thank you very much, it's very nice to exchange experiences about that - really few people know what to do in these keyboard menus. Regards, Pedro.

[@wimschiphorst8541]

@@pedromseleuterio thx fot your answer. That Cmaj7 is if you want to play with let's difficult chords. All combis are possible than. There is a site. www.heidruns-musikerseiten.de. is german but some tutorials are in engish to. Or put in google translate. Under Keyboard you find them there also one about making style. The concept is explaned there. An other option is. If you have an arrangement. Say. Drum, bass etc. You can put that exactly in the creator. But than you must follow the chords written in that score. I go look for the guitar explanation. Is from a book called "Styles and Pattern" is a german book. I shall try to make a copy off that part. So if you send your email. Greetings Wim

[@pedromseleuterio]

@@wimschiphorst8541 I understood about complex chords - thanks. If you could find the book, it will help a lot. As I said before, few people can really understand the secrets inside Style Creator. Thank you, please subscribe, share to your frieds and keep listening to the channel. Regards, Pedro

Wim, It is very easy to use Guitar mode. Such an accompaniment will play properly on all types of chords and without the use of CM7. Watch the video in which I explained it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHubhJymZZqSaJY Activate eng subtitle.

Hi Pedro, really really great tutorial, a learned so much, thank you!! One question, from 11:20, about the volume setting i lost you. On my Genos all volumes from each variation stays the same when switching between them. What am i missing?

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello, Pianoles. Thank you very much. To the volume adjust works you must be inside Style Creator, select the part to adjust (A, B, C, D, Intro) and change the slides to the volume you want. After that, don't forget to save the style. Make sure to do that. Check my other two tutorials, I do that in those too.. Regards, Pedro

[@robfriedrich2822]

I would play a E-Minor, because the style editor needs a C Major 7

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello. You can program the style in any key. However, CM7 is the default and easier mode. Once programmed, you can play any chord and the style will follow you. Best regards. Pedro

[@michaelkoy]

Great tutorial and it helped me to give it a try though not perfect. I am very pleased but I am stuck as when I play back the style I cant hear the 7th Chord ...grateful if you could advise. Michael

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello, Michael. Thank you so much. To hear the 7th chord, you may use the CM7 chord inside Style Creator, which is the B key. If you record a PAD using C E G B, you'll be able to hear the 7th or any other variation. Make a try. Regards, Pedro

there is an Audio button in the channel record, for which purpose is it possible to make a demonstration with the Audio style?

[@pedromseleuterio]

Hello J Geo. I believe that button is to put audio (wav) inside a style, Like an effect or something. Maybe you can use as an audio style, but I had neve done this. To put some FX, I prefer to do it with Multipad. Thank you for your comment. Keep listening to my channel. Regards from Brazil.
