• 4 The Styles
You can enjoy playing the keyboard sounds in real time while PK7/PK5 takes care of the accompaniment, as if
you were playing with a band of musicians. The automatic arrangements are provided by the PK7/PK5 Styles.
This chapter describes the automatic arrangements of the Styles, how to select them and how to store them to
the Performances.
The tracks contain several programmable parameters:: sound, volume, pan, transpose, detune, reverb, cho-
rus, pitch bend , pedal volume and damper.
The arrangement patterns are fixed for the ROM Styles; in the USER Style locations (96-103) [PK7 only], it is
possible to load disk-based Styles in the following formats: PK7, WK3 and CD.
ABOUT PK7/PK5 STYLES
Styles are a collection of musical patterns representing many types of music, ranging from rock and pop to
traditional and latin music.
Each PK7 Style has 4 Variations, 4 Intros, 4 Fills and 4 Endings. A Style, therefore, provides a complete range
of musical structures with which you can create an entire song.
PK5 Styles have 2 Variations, 2 Intros, 2 Fills and 2 Endings.
Styles provide automatic accompaniments triggered by chord information received from the PK7/PK5 key-
board and the accompaniment patterns change to suit the current chord.
Each Style consists of 8 tracks: the first 5 are engaged by the sequencer for the auto accompaniments, and the
remaining 3 belong to the real time keyboard sections (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower). The 5 accompaniment tracks
are divided as follows: track 1 Drums (drum sets), track 2 BASS, tracks 3,4 and 5 correspond to ACC1, ACC2,
ACC3 respectively (accompaniments 1 2 and 3).
PK7/PK5 contains 96 permanent Styles in ROM and PK7 has the possibility of loading an additional 8 USER
Styles in RAM.
The Styles are arranged in groups of 8, as shown in the Style tables on the top of the instrument panel (STYLE
/ SONG).
