Even though I am NOT a 'jazz player', I like to play the song "Green Dolphin Street" which starts in a Latin style and in the bridge goes to a swing style ... on my technics kn6000 I was able to do this using Panel Memory buttons ... is there a way to do this on the PA600?

Hi Tony

Link the performance's to a style and set up two performances with different styles. "Style change button"

Col

Col ... I don't really follow what you are saying ... ... remember, I am TOTALLY new to KORG ...
What I want to accomplish is to switch from a Latin style to a swing style (bebop) with the press of a button - like STS ...

The easiest way I think is combining the latin and swing into a whole new style using the copy and paste function. In the manual you can find how to use these functions.

Actually it's easiest to do it in songbook.You create a song with style 1 and style two.

mirza ... I did that, but the timing of switching from one to another in between measures is very tricky ... the best solution so far has been to create two styles adjacent to each other in the user section and just press the one I want as needed ...




Frans ... I didn't realize that you could copy and paste one style into another ... I will look into that ...

thanks all ...

Tony try to set up two different variations with two styles

Huh?? I answered this already ... my post never showed up. hmmmmm.
Oh well, I repeat:
It's pretty easy to copy and paste sections from one style to another, so take the directions from pg. 62
and simply copy the latin beat from one style and paste it into a variation of the swing beat that you like. I use the bebop pattern and replace var.2 with var 3 - then copy in a bossa style you like from whatever pattern suits you.
So, my bebop variations are:
1-simple swing with hi hat
2-standard swing with ride cymb
3-bossa with ride cymb
4-swing trading 4s (drum solo every 4 measures)

I set up a similar patch on my s950 - maybe Donny can share that with the Yamahites.
If I figure out how to copy a style and upload it, I will!

Start with the keyboard in style play mode. You may be using a funky style lets say in the 'dance style tabs group' but there is too much going on in it . Perhaps you like the drums but the bass is too busy or the guitar too much in your face. You may prefer the strumming pattern from another style lets say in the '16 beat style group'
and the brass from one of the Gospel styles.

Make a note of the tracks you want to change ie drums,percusion, bass Acc2 Acc3 Acc4 acc5 etc

Make a note of the tracks you want to copy and the groups they are from ie '16 beat group groove style accomp 2 wah wah guitar or whatever

You should now have noted what you want to change and what you want to change it to.

We will start to edit the style that you feel most fits what you want but needs some editing so press record. Its the big red button on tyhe PA1X dont know for the PA800.... This will take you to a screen that asks you what you want to edit

1 select record/edit current style(that should be selected by the instrument as a default)and press ok
2. It will take you to the style record page press the reel(looks like a film reel) icon for recording lets say the bass. We dont need to record anything as we are going to delete the bass sound.
3 Press the menu button
4. select style edit . Press the delete all tab at the bottome of the screen .Make sure that you delete all. In practise you could just delete some of the pattern say from bars 1-4 but thats more advanced than i want to deal with right now !

5 Press execute and then press. Now press the copy from style tab at the bottom of the screen.

6. then press the select button as this will then show you all the styles in the group your original style is from. There are tabs to the left of the screen so you can quickly select the style that you want to copy from ( remember the styles you noted down at the begining. Then simply select the style you want to copy from, select the element of the style ie Acc 1,2,3,4 drums bass etc and select the element you will be copying too ie Acc 1,2,3 etc . In this example it will be the bass sound from which ever style you prefer . Press execute and voila it will be in the style. You can press the delete tab and delete the other elements that you wanted to change pressing execute after each change

7. choose another style from the copy from style tab lets say the 6 string guitar style from the 8 beat group of styles because you liked the guitar .

8 Select the element that you want to copy from and move to etc. You can do this repeated from this page remembering to press execute after each change.

9 When you have finished making changes press menu again and you will be on style record page again. Press the drop down tab at the top right of the page and save the newly composed style and you can even overwrite the factory style rather than save it as a user style. Press the big red record button off screen and it will then ask warn you that you can lose what you have edited unless you save it. Press yes to save and then you are back in style play mode. Select your edited style and enjoy !!!

I think Saswick already said it. With those two styles you create two performances.Make sure tempo and everything else is good.Just make sure you have on style change on with this song.You can do it in style mix too but this is much easier and faster.Style shange button is the last on the right next to performance buttons.
