Creating A Style From A Midi Song File
- StyleMaker performs the necessary style-making chores and passes a working file to/from the operator’s sequencer program that is used to enter/edit/record notes, program changes, effect-pan-tempo, etc., and audition the result.
- StyleMaker records commands such as miscellaneous setup sysex, effects types and markers that must occur in setup measures or are inconvenient or confusing to enter in a sequencer.
- The sequencer is used to make the part markers, cut and paste musical clips and other operations that benefit from the sequencer’s real-time and graphical editing functions.
Editing An Existing Style File
- StyleMaker allows you to edit a style, add new sections to an existing style, or to create a new style from an older one without destroying the CASM.
- Making Styles In Other Time Signatures
- The PSR/Tyros is limited in the time signatures that can be created in the instrument. StyleMaker allows you to also create styles in 5/8, 7/8, 9/8, 5/4 and 6/8 time signatures.
Creating A Style From A Band In The Box Style
- Using BIAB in conjunction with StyleMaker templates, you can create Yamaha styles similar to those in BIAB
Using MegaEnhancer With Style Files
- Yamaha's MegaEnhancer is only designed for midi files, and if loaded with a style, it will destroy the CASM, OTS and Music Finder sections. StyleMaker allows you to pass a style to MegaEnhancer, convert selected voices to megavoices, and restore the existing style’s Casm/OTS/MF. StyleMaker also enables MegaEnhancer to do conversions on voices that do not have an exact MegaVoice version.
