Yamaha PSR-2100 Manual Do Utilizador

This powerful feature lets you create your own original styles, which can then be used for auto accompaniment — just 
as with the preset styles.

The chart at right shows the basic parts (or “channels”) that make up each section 
of an accompaniment style. To create an accompaniment style, record patterns to 
the various channels one by one, for each of the sections you want to create.

■ Realtime Recording (page 113)

You can record accompaniment styles by simply playing the parts from the 
keyboard in real time. However, you don’t have to record every part yourself 
— you can choose an existing preset accompaniment style that is close to the 
style you want, then add or replace parts in that style as needed to create your 
own custom style.

Since auto accompaniment playback repeats the accompaniment patterns of several measures in a “loop,” you can 
also record patterns in a loop. For example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two 
measures are repeatedly recorded. Notes that you record will play back from the next loop (repetition), letting you 
record new material while hearing the parts you previously recorded.

This feature lets you record new material to a channel already containing recorded data, without deleting the 
original data. In style recording, the recorded data remains intact, unless you specifically delete it yourself. For 
example, if you start recording with a two-measure Main section, the two measures are repeated. As you record 
notes to each pass of the loop (repetition), those notes play back from the next loop, letting you overdub new 
material while hearing the previous parts.

■ Step Recording (page 114)

This method is like writing music notation on paper, since it allows 
you to enter each note or individually, and specify its length. This is 
ideal for making precise recordings, or for recording parts that are 
difficult to play.

■ Assembling an Accompaniment Style (page 115)

This convenient feature lets you create composite styles by combining 
various patterns from the internal preset accompaniment styles. For 
example, if you want to create your own original 8-beat style, you 
could take rhythm patterns from the “8 Beat 1” style, use the bass 
pattern from “8 Beat 2,” and import the chord patterns from the “60’s 8 
Beat” style — combining the various elements to create one 
accompaniment style.

■ Editing the created Accompaniment Style (page 116)

With the editing features, you can custom edit the styles you’ve 
created by real time recording, step recording, and assembling from other styles.
