You've got the style sounding just the way you want it.  However, if you turn your arranger off, all your work is GONE forever.  You have to SAVE your settings so that you can access this setup again whenever you want. You can save your adjustments in a REGISTRATION file or in a new version of the STYLE itself.  If you were adjusting an internal preset style and you wanted to save your settings, you could save them in a registration button and then save the registration file.  When you load that registration file and press the appropriate registration memory button, you would LOAD the style and all the settings would be adjusted automatically by the registration file to be just the way they were when you saved them to the registration button.  However, for a style on a floppy disk, you will have to save the new settings in the style itself.  Here is a simple six-step process to do that.

Step 1. When you have the style volumes set just the way you want, press the [DIGITAL RECORD] button. This opens up the DIGITAL REC MENU. Press the [B] button to select the STYLE CREATOR.

Step 2. The STYLE CREATOR screen has six tabs.  You will be looking at the BASIC tab when you first open it up. Notice in this view you can see the various instruments in the style.  The REC mode is turned on for the RHY2 track.  But you are not going to do any digital recording right now.  In fact, you want to skip right over this screen by pressing the [NEXT] button to move to the second tab, which shows the ASSEMBLY screen.

Step 3. Notice the SAVE option on this ASSEMBLY page.  It is by the [J] button.. Press the [J] button to SAVE this style.  Note that you have not really used anything in the STYLE CREATOR to create or modify the basic components of the style. You are accepting the instruments and everything they are playing in each variation. But you HAVE changed the volume settings. You may also have changed some of the instruments.  When you SAVE the style now, you will be saving those volume (and instrument) changes in the style itself.  In later lessons, we'll talk about how to use some of the other features found in this style creator function.  For now, all you are doing is going into the STYLE CREATOR, switching to the ASSEMBLY page, and choosing the SAVE option.

Step 4. After you press the style SAVE button, you are shown the standard STYLE file screen, which shows the PRESET, USER, and FLOPPY DISK tabs for styles.  If you have a PSR3000 or Tyros1/2, instead of the FLOPPY DISK option, you will see the CARD and/or USB option. You cannot save your adjusted style in the PRESET area. This is where all the styles that came with your keyboard are stored and you can not overwrite or change anything here.  But you can save your new style in one of the areas where you can create files (USER, FLOPPY DISK, CARD, or USB).  You will be looking at USER, press the [NEXT] button to switch to FLOPPY DISK if you want to save it on the floppy disk (or USB to save it on a flash drive.). When you are positioned correctly (either in USER area or FLOPPY DISK/CARD/USB), you need to push the [7-B] button to select the SAVE file option visible on the bottom row of the screen.

Step 5. You're not done yet.  The STYLE screen, just as it does whenever you want to save a style, will open up a little SAVE screen at the bottom of the main screen.  It will have the current name of the style showing.  You can accept this name or change it.  You might want to change it a bit, say by adding a number at the end, to distinguish it from the original style.  If you are tuning a preset style, you can't hurt the original style since that is always in your keyboard. However, you may be tuning an external file that you downloaded from the internet and you may want to keep the original version in tact. By saving under a new name, if you made any big blunder, you haven't impacted the original style at all; it will still exist as it was before you started adjusting.  Of course, if you are happy with your new style, you can always go to the STYLE file screen and delete the old style anytime you want.

Step 6. When you have completed the SAVE operation, you will find yourself back in the STYLE CREATOR ASSEMBLY page.  Press [EXIT] to exit the STYLE CREATOR.  Now you are back in the DIGITAL REC MENU.  Press [EXIT] again to leave Digital Recording.  Finally, you are back at the MAIN screen.

Well, there you have it.  You now know how to adjust the volumes of any style you have and save your adjustments in a style tuned to your own liking.  By the way, here is a tuned version of the Beguine, but you don't necessarily have to download it -- you've already tuned your version to match this.

In the Variation Tuning lesson, we'll show you how you can adjust the accompaniment volumes (instruments) for each individual section (A, B, C, or D) of the style.  Then, the next lesson discusses how to add your own One-Touch Settings to this style so you will have a final, finished style, that includes the soloists you want to use when playing that style.
