The Style and its Elements
Styles are collections of musical patterns in a particular music genre – or ‘mu-
sical style’ – oering an eight-parts automatic accompaniment, similar 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. Dierent sections can
be selected to let you create a complete song in real time.
Accompaniment parts
Accompaniment parts are like the members of a band. With Pa5X you get ve
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 patterns (like a bass groove, a
guitar ri 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 and Style Elements
Songs are made of dierent sections (Intro, Verse 1, Bridge, Chorus 1 and so
on). There are dierent patterns for each song section, and they are collected
under the Style Element buttons (INTRO, VARIATION, 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 arrangement becomes denser the higher the
element numbers go.
Intro Verse Fill Chorus Break / Verse Fill Chorus Ending
Intro 1 Fill 1 Fill 3 Ending 3Break
Variation 1 Variation 2 Variation 3 Variation 4
Auto Fill
Pa5X can automatically match each Variation with a Fill. When the AUTO FILL
indicator is on, when going from a Variation to a dierent one a Fill is automati-
cally selected, without having to press one of the FILL buttons.
