• Transitions, rolls, etc., should be converted to Fill-Ins. The intro should be converted to an Intro pattern. 147 Using the 16-track sequencer E-60/E-50 Music Workstation Using the 16-track sequencer E-60/E-50 Music Workstation r • For a really professional result, you will also have to take advantage of the E-60/E-50’s Style Composer to ensure that your new Style also “works” for minor and seventh chords. See “Programming Styles (Style Composer)” on p. 151. • Though pattern length (and memory capacity) is no issue, try to work in small but meaningful units. Here’s an example: most songs rely on a structure based on 4-measure blocks. Converting 6 measures is thus a bit odd (though perfectly possible). • Prepare a simple pattern for MAIN [1] and increasingly complex accompaniments for the remaining patterns. • Always set the correct KEY (page 150). Only then will the Style really work as expected when used with the E-60/E-50’s Arranger. • Your new Style resides in the E-60/E-50 Style RAM memory. Do not forget to save it before selecting another Style (in Arranger mode) or switching off the E-60/E-50. Commercially available Standard MIDI Files are protected by a copyright. Please note that the Style Converter should only be used to create Music Styles for private use. Roland assumes no responsibility for copyright infringements that may result from the use of the Style Converter. Using the Style Converter (1) Select and load a (different) song. This is not necessary if you want to use the song you have just recorded or played back. Otherwise, see “Working with the Song Finder” on p. 110 (or page 35) for how to load a song. In any case, you should listen to it and try to isolate the eight tracks whose parts should be included in your new Music Style. (2) Press the RECORDER [16-TRK.SEQ.] button. 16-TRK SEQ. The display changes to: (3) Press the [STYLE.CONVERTER] field in the right column. (4) You may also have to press the [SETUP] button icon to select the page shown above (if “CONVERT” is currently active). This page allows you to select the song tracks that should become Style tracks. Remember that a song may contain up to 16 tracks, while a Music Style “only” provides eight. The default assignments of song tracks to the Style tracks (see the illustration above, last column in the list) are made automatically. Though based on common sense, they may not yield the desired accompaniment pattern. As a rule, you should always listen carefully. (5) To correct one or several of the default assignments, proceed as follows: • Press one of the display fields to select the Style track. Those are the tracks that make up your Music style to be. • Next, use the [DATA.ENTRY] dial or the [DEC]/[INC] buttons to select a song track in the list to the left. Note: See “Arranger parts” on p. 60 if you’re not sure what the abbreviations in the “Trk” fields stand for. Note: If you assign several song tracks to the same Style track, a bullet (“”) appears next to the Style track name in the table to indicate that the Style track in question is already assigned to another song track. (Though this is perfectly possible, the result is usually not convincing.) If necessary, press the [INIT.VALUE] field to return to the default assignments if that produces the best result after all. Auditioning the tracks Press the [Jump.to.1st.note] field to jump to the first note of the selected song track (the one that appears on a dark background). Playback starts automatically from that point and you will hear all song tracks. Press the RECORDER [PLAY.STOP.®..] button to stop playback (or to start it again). Note: If the selected track contains no data at all, playback is started from the very first song measure. Muting tracks Sometimes, it may be necessary to mute certain parts so as to concentrate on what the other tracks do, and to decide which tracks should be converted into a Music Style. To do so, press the [MUTE] field and then the lines of the song tracks you don’t want to hear. Such tracks are flagged with an “M”. 148 Style ConverterE-60/E-50 Music Workstation r Style ConverterE-60/E-50 Music Workstation r Press the [MUTE] field again to switch off the function of the same name. Solo To listen to one track in isolation, press the [SOLO] field and the field of the track you want to solo, then start playback. This mutes all other tracks, while the selected track is flagged with an “S”. Press the [SOLO] field again to switch off the function of the same name. (6) Press the [CONVERT] field to jump to the following page. Here, you can listen to the selected tracks, specify which excerpt should be extracted and set the patterns that should contain the selected data. The most logical order for proceeding is as follows: (7) Press the RECORDER [TOP.|v] button, followed by [PLAY.STOP.®..] to start song playback. [FWD] and [BWD] are also available for rewinding and fast-forwarding. (8) While listening to the song, press the [MARK.A] field at the begi...
