10.1 More about Style Progres-
sion
The Style Progression field in the display keeps you
posted about the currently selected Style Progression
level.
The levels are roughly divided into two groups (which
we shall call Advanced and Basic for those familiar
with previous Roland keyboards). Levels 4—6 repre-
sent different versions of the Advanced group, whilc
levels 1-3 are Basic versions. That is why the most
striking difference (except for the fact that some
instruments arc missing or added) will be between
levels 3 (most complete Basic version) and 4 (simplest
Advanced version). That transition may indeed
involve the use of an altogether different Division pat-
tern.
Please note that these are only guidelines that are cer-
tainly true of the EM-50/30's internal Styles. But since
you can load new Styles into the Custom memories,
the Style Progression behavior of these new Styles may
vary somewhat.
There are 6 complexity levels to choose from. The last
Style Progression setting will be written to a User Pro-
gram (see page 43). So be sure to select the desired
Style Progression level before saving your settings.

10.2 Style Morphing details
Style Morphing uses a display system that provides at-
a-glance information about the current status of the
Style Morphing function. Except for the possibility to
use Style “A” or “B” in its entirety, there are 6 morph-
ing levels. Here is what the indications in the STYLE
MORPHING field mean:

Note: When you select a new Music Style with the MUSIC
STYLE/USER PROGRAM buttons, the Style Morphing
function is reset to the “A only" status (“0” in the above
illustrations). The Style Morphing setting can, however, be
written to a User Program.
10.3 Selecting another "B" Style
As stated earlier, the "B" Style is prepared automatical-
ly whenever you select an “A” Style, so that the Style
Morphing function is ready whenever you are.
If you do not agree with this preset selection (or want
to experiment with other Styles), hold down the
STYLE MORPHING [B] (A) button and select the
