Style Controls: Drum Map
In this page you can select various general parameters for the
Style.
Drum Mapping (Var.1…Var.4)
The Drum Mapping lets you select an alternative arrangement of
percussive instruments for the selected Drum Kit, without any
additional programming. Just select a Drum Map, and some per-
cussive instruments will be replaced with different instruments.
Off Standard mapping.
Drum Mapping 1…7
Drum Map number. Mapping 1 is “soft-sound-
ing”, while mapping 7 is “loud-sounding”.
Kick and Snare Designation
The Kick Designation replaces the original Kick (Bass Drum)
sound with a different Kick of the same Drum Kit, while the
Snare Designation replaces the original Snare Drum sound with
a different Snare of the same Drum Kit.
Hint: Select different Designations while listening to the Style, and
see how they affect the Style. When you like the result, save your
setting to a Performance or Style Settings.
Off Original Kick or Snare.
Type 1…3 Kick or Snare replacing the original one.

Wrap Around
In this page you can program the Wrap Around point, and turn
on/off the Keyboard Range included in each Style tracks.
Keyboard Range On/Off
This parameter is an on/off switch for the Key Range parameter
memorized inside each Style Element track.
On The Keyboard Range is considered (see “Style
Element Track Controls: Keyboard Range” on
page 218 in Style Record mode). When a track
goes over the lower or higher Keyboard Range
point, it is automatically transposed, to stay in the
programmed range.
Off No Keyboard Range used.
Wrap Around
The wrap-around point is the highest key range limit for the
backing track. The accompaniment patterns will be transposed
according to the detected chord. If the chord is too high, the
Style tracks might play in a range that is too high, and therefore
unnatural. If, however, it reaches the wrap-around point, it will
be automatically transposed an octave lower.
The wrap-around point can be individually set for each track in
semitone steps up to a maximum of 12 semitones, relative to the
chord root set in Style Record mode (see “Key/Chord” on
page 199).
It is advisable to set different Wrap Around points for each track,
to avoid all tracks “jump” to a different octave at the same time.
We suggest to consider the actual range of the real instrument.
1…12 Maximum transposition (in semitones) of the
track, referred to the original key of the Style pat-
tern.
