Hi,
Finally got Tyros 5 loving it to bits. One question? In the backing parts of styles sometimes to my liking i want to change the octave of style parts & even the bass, how do you do this?

Thanks

This can all be done in the mixing console...

It's truly a new year! DNJ opened an owner's manual!!

Actually Don I knew this answer BUT to show someone I thought it better to show the picture....

What's a Owners Manual? Lloyd

Just for your info. What you showed from the manual does not show octave for "STYLE" parts. Only "VOICE" parts. And that's because, THERE ISN'T THAT ABILITY IN MIXING CONSOLE!

You might be able to go to style creator and over there change the octave, through step editor, but that would be really really time consuming...

I hope "Jorgen" (or whatever his name is) or the other guy has a software program that has the functionality you desire.

Good luck.

Where has Donny got the manual from anyway, I know he is the SZ roving reporter and a mind of information.

Just curious. What is the difference between a 'keyboard part' (as described in the manual) and a 'style part'? What constitutes a 'keyboard part'? A 'voice part'? A 'style part'?

Chas, Simple.
There are 3 "melody/right hand" parts or voices, and then there are the 8 "tracks" of voices that make up the style. The OP asked how to change the octave of one (some) of those 8 tracks which make up a style.

It's pretty simple stuff if you use an arranger keyboard...

Wrong section of the keyboard Donny - it can't be done there. You can change the octave of the entire style there, but not a single style component. You can also change the octave of a right hand voice there as well.

This would have to be done in the onboard Style Creator program, but I have not done this in so long I forgot how to do it - that among other things I probably should not mention.

I stand corrected gary....

Doing this on a Roland is a snap. No need to use the Style Creator. Makeup Tools puts all the commonest style editing needs in one simple place.

Adjust Tone, effects, octave, dynamics (both Volume AND Velocity) for every Style Tone (not just the Style Part, for styles with different sounds on the same Part), and then store them as either offsets (so the original data remains intact, or 'freeze' them to those values... And you can do the same editing to every single sound in a drum Part, too!

TBH, the Makeup Tools are still one of the primary reasons I choose Roland's over others. They make tweaking styles and SMF's easier and more comprehensive than any other make.

You can do the same on the Yamaha's as well using the mixing console, but for some strange reason, you cannot change the octaves - weird!

Ok thanks all for your replies, sad that there is not an easy way to do this, and i'm not even sure re the style creator. So i would like to ask those wonderful people at Yamaha to come up with a firmware/software change to enable this. I know they generally get most things right, but it's a user preference re the octave selection for style parts.

Thanks in anticipation

Rob, I think there is a program on Jorgen's site.

Rob, I think this may be the program you are looking for. Style Magic

Gary

Another program that you may find beneficial is Jorgen Sorensens Style Revoicer .

No cost for this great program.

Gary

Thanks to you Trav easy,

Much appreciated

Glad I could help.

Gary

Maybe you can change the LOW note limit of the track in the style creator?
