What is a Style?
Styles are collections of musical patterns in a particular music genre – or
‘musical style’ – offering an eight-parts automatic accompaniment, sim-
ilar to an eight-member band playing with you. Chords you play on the
keyboard will be recognized and will adapt the patterns to suit the music.
Different sections can be selected to let you create a complete song in
realtime.
Accompaniment parts
Accompaniment parts are like the members of a band. With Pa1000 you
get five pitched instrument players (for example: guitar, piano, strings,
synthesizers), a bass player, a percussion player, and a drum player.
Chords and patterns
Accompaniment patterns are repeating musical sequences (like a bass
groove, a guitar riff or a piano chord progression) that are dynamically
adapted to match the recognized chords. They may vary depending on the
type of chord (like C Major, C minor, or 7th).
Sections
Songs are made of different sections (Intro, Verse 1, Bridge, Chorus 1 and
so on). There are different patterns for each song section, and they are
collected under the Style Element buttons (INTRO, VARIATION, AUTO FILL,
BREAK, ENDING). While the name of the Intro, Fill, Break and Ending are
the same as the name of the corresponding song section, Variations can
be used either for Verse, Bridge, Chorus or Special sections. The arrange-
ment becomes denser the higher the element numbers go.
Verse Fill Chorus Break / Verse Fill Chorus Ending
Intro 1 Fill 1 Fill 2
Break
Variation 1 Variation 2 Variation 3 Variation 4
Auto Fill
Pa1000 can automatically play a matching fill before each Variation. When
the AUTO FILL indicator is on, when going from a Variation to a different
one a Fill is automatically selected.
