A Style generally consists of eight parts (channels): rhythm, bass, etc., although Audio Styles (CVP-709
only) consist of nine parts, including an additional Audio part. You can add variations and change the
feeling of a Style by selectively turning channels on/off or by changing the Voices (page 93).
Style File Compatibility
This instrument uses the SFF GE file format (page 8) and can play back existing SFF files; however, they will be saved in the SFF GE
format when the file is saved (or loaded) in this instrument. Please keep in mind that the saved file can only be played back on
instruments that are compatible with the SFF GE format.
To do this, use the on-screen buttons called up by touching [] in the Style area of the Home display, or use
the STYLE CONTROL buttons.
NOTE
For instructions on adjusting the tempo, refer to page 40.
[ACMP ON/OFF], [AUTO FILL IN] and [SYNC STOP] can be controlled only by using the panel buttons.
Style Characteristics
The Style type and its defining characteristics are indicated on the Preset
Style icon, such as Audio (CVP-709 only) and Pro. There are various
Style characteristics; however, only Audio Styles are covered here.
For details about the other icons, refer to the Reference Manual on the website (page 9).
• : Audio Style (CVP-709 only)
The Audio Styles have been specially produced by adding audio recordings of studio musicians playing in various
recording studios worldwide. This adds all the natural feel, ambience and warmth to the drums and percussion of
the Style, giving your performance greater expressive potential. Specifically, it retains the subtle nuances and
grooves that are difficult to reproduce using the preset drum/percussion kit. Yamaha Time Stretch Technology
allows the audio to follow your tempo changes without changing pitch, so everything stays in perfect sync.
NOTE
• Audio Styles may take more time to load than others.
• If the tempo is set to over 160% of the default, the audio part is muted.
• Audio Styles cannot be copied to USB flash drive. (Audio Styles can be copied only to User memory of the instrument.)
• You can record your performance using an Audio Style when the method of Audio recording is in WAV format, it cannot be
recorded when in MP3 format. Also, if you record the song using MIDI recording, the audio part cannot be recorded. Refer to
page 75 for details. However, only in the Piano Room, the audio part can be recorded by using MIDI recording (page 47).
