Customizing how styles are used: Mode page
In the bar at the bottom of the screen, the MODE command opens the configuration page
of the current style.
The changes you make are effective immediately, but you must save them in the style if
these settings need to be used in the future associated with the style. Factory styles cannot
be edited, but should you start off with a factory style, you can then save the modified style
in the USER STYLE area. There is no actual limit to the number of custom styles you can
create and store since these styles are stored as files in the internal SSD drive, so the
limitation is really set by the size of the SSD drive.

• BALANCE: represents the volume of the arranger section, which is a value between 16
(low) and 63 (high) and relates to the position of the style volume slider on the panel.
• TEMPO -+:
o o If you leave GLOBAL CHANGE (the default), the time change of a style
is relative to all arranger sections.
o o If you set SECTION CHANGE, the change is for only the selected
change. In Section Change mode, styles that do not have tempo
variations between sections continue to behave as in Global Change.
The function is global and is saved in CUSTOM STARTUP.
• LOCK REAL: allows you to "freeze" the chord of the audio tracks of the style, while the
MIDI CHORD track follows the chord changes according to what is played by the
keyboard. This lends itself to being useful in certain Funky and Dance contexts; you
can set which parts (REAL BASS and / or REAL CHORD) are locked here.Once this is
active, now to apply the ‘lock/freeze’ in real time, simply press the LOCK BASS
(search) or LOCK CHORD (GM) button on the front panel next to the musical tempo
buttons.
• VARIATION: When the VARI LED is on, the operation of the Variation is enabled if this
is available within the LIVE DRUMS, or the chords or on the three Grooves (subtle
