THE STYLE’S STRUCTURE
The term “Style” relates with music sequences auto‐
matically played by the arranger of the microAR‐
RANGER. A Style consists of apre
defined number of
StyleElements(E)(microARRANGERfeat
urestendif‐
ferentStyleElements:Variation 1– 4,Intro1–2,Fill1–2
,
Ending 1–2). When playing, these Style Elements can
be selected directly from the control panel, using the
correspondingbuttons.

,called
Chord Var i ati o ns (CV), but not all of them have the
samenumberofCVs.Variations1–4haveupto6CVs

CVs.
Whenyo
u play on the chord recognitionarea(Lower,
Upperor
Full, dependingon the Chord Scanning sec‐
tiononthe control panel), thearranger
scans the key‐
board and determines which chord you are playing.
Then, dependi
ng on the selected Style Element, it
determines which Chord Variation (CV) should be
playedfor the scanned chord. Which Chord Variation
corresponds to each scanned chord is a setting of the
Style: the Chord Variation Table. Ea ch Style Element
contains a Chor
d Variati

thefollowing:
After deci
ding what CV to play, the arranger trig

is written in a particular key (for example, CMajor,
