SFF Edit—Making Style File Format Settings
The explanations here apply to step 5 of the Basic Procedure on page 21. The Style File Format (SFF) combines all of
Yamaha’s Style playback know-how into a single unified format. Setting the SFF related parameters determines how
the original notes are converted to the actual sounded notes based on the chord you specify in the Chord area of the
keyboard. The conversion flow is shown below.
The parameters shown above can be set in the “SFF Edit” display.
If you select an Audio Style as starting data, the Audio part will be used as is. The Audio part cannot be deleted, edited or created from scratch.
Set these parameters
before recording.
Set these parameters
