Note: LIVERPOOL STYLES cannot be edited.
THE STYLE’S STRUCTURE
The term “Style” relates with music sequences auto-
matically played by the arranger of the Liverpool. A
Style consists of a predefined number of Style Ele-
ments (E) (Liverpool features ten different Style Ele-
ments: Variation 1–4, Intro 1–2, Fill 1–2, Ending 1–2).
When playing, these Style Elements can be selected
directly from the control panel, using the correspond-
ing buttons.
To explain the Style structure, we can use a tree-struc-
ture, as shown in the following diagram:
Each Style Element is made up of smaller units, called
Chord Variations (CV), but not all of them have the
same number of CVs. Variations 1–4 have up to 6 CVs
each, while the other Style Elements have only up to 2
CVs.
When you play on the chord recognition area (Lower,
Upper or Full, depending on the Chord Scanning sec-
tion on the control panel), the arranger scans the key-
board and determines which chord you are playing.
Then, depending on the selected Style Element, it
determines which Chord Variation (CV) should be
played for the scanned chord. Which Chord Variation
corresponds to each scanned chord is a setting of the
Style: the Chord Variation Table. Each Style Element
contains a Chord Variation Table, whose prototype is
the following:
After deciding what CV to play, the arranger triggers
the right sequence for each track. Since each sequence
is written in a particular key (for example, CMajor,
GMajor or Emin), the arranger transposes it according
to the scanned chord. Notes in the sequence are care-
fully transposed according to the Note Transposition
Tables (NTT), to make them work fine with all recog-
nized chords. The NTT allows you to record just some
Chord Variations, and have all the notes play in the
right place, avoiding dissonances and transposing the
pattern notes to the notes of the recognized chord.
