• 6 Song Styles
A Song Style is an 8-track (5+3) Song created by recording a Style with the keyboard
tracks (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower). Song Styles capture the chords that trigger the Style
accompaniment patterns (5 tracks) on a “Chords track” and you can choose to record one
or more keyboard tracks according to your requirements. During the recording, you can
exploit the Intro, Fill and Ending patterns and change Style at will. In practice, what you
normally do in real time with a Style is captured by the sequencer in Song Style Record
mode to create a Song Style.
The 8 tracks that are engaged by the Sequencer to record a Song Style break down as
follows: 5 associated to the accompaniment patterns (Drum, Bass, Acc3, Acc2, Acc1)
and 3 to the keyboard tracks (Upper 1, Upper 2, Lower).
PK5 Oriental can transmit and receive RAM data (Song Styles and Performances) to
and from external MIDI device via a MIDI Dump (see MIDI/GENERAL chapter).
A Song Style cannot be saved as a MIDI file.
SONG STYLE PERFORMANCES
A Song Style is governed by a single associated Song Style Performance, which deter-
mines how the Song Style plays. This simplifies Song Style recording, because all the
information necessary to record and playback are housed in the Song Style Performance
without having to set parameters while recording. When you record a Song Style, it is
best to programme the associated Song Style Performance beforehand.
Song Style Recording
Song Styles offer an excellent means of preparing backings for a soloist. For example,
you can record two keyboard tracks (Upper 2 & Lower) with accompaniments, then use
Upper 1 to play the melody in real time with the Song Style in playback.
Song Styles record all panel interventions made during the recording: changes of Style,
use of the Intro, Fills, Endings, activation/deactivation of the effects, selection of Arabic
Scales, Harmony On/Off and more. The events generated by the panel interventions are
recorded in the COMMON track.
The COMMON and CHORDS tracks activate automatically when you enter Song Style
Record mode.
ENTERING THE SONG STYLE RECORD MODE
1. Press the RECORD button.
The first free Song Style location is automatically set up for the recording.
At this point, if you press PLAY/STOP the sequencer starts to record and allows you
to record the real time tracks without the accompaniment.
While you play, the PK5 Oriental records the panel situation and all the operations
that you carry out.
The CHORD track is automatically activated only if empty. The keyboard tracks are
recorded only if their relative indicators are shown on in the display.
You can decide to start without or with the auto accompaniment.
