In that case, the tempo value stored for that Style is used (see also page 19). Now go back to “Basic Music Style operations” on page 13 to try your newly selected Music Style. Note: To check which Music Style is currently selected, press MENU AY to place the arrow () next to the “STYLE” message and press I ENTER]. Selecting Custom Styles The EM-50/30 provides eight additional memories whose contents can be replaced by other Music Styles (see page 57). These memories are called Custom Style memories. When the EM-50/30 is shipped, they already contain Music Styles, however. Here is how to select a Custom Style: 1. Make sure the User Program function (see page 43) is not currently active. 2. Press the [CUSTOM/HOLD] button. The message area of the display now reads C-, signalling that you need to select a memory. 3. Press a MUSIC STYLE/USER PROGRAM number button [l]~[8j to select the desired Custom Style memory. Note: To select yet another Custom Style, you must once again press [CUSTOM/HOLD! because the “Custom" function of that button only applies to one selection sequence.

SYN LEAD SYNPAfl SVNSFX ETHNIC WUVIJIVE SFX 4.4 Style Progression and Style Morphing The EM-50/30 provides two exciting features that allow you to further refine the accompaniments played by the Arranger. These functions are called Style Progression and Style Morphing. Style Progression ("orchestration") The [STYLE PROGRESSION] buttons allow you to further refine and vary the accompaniment patterns played by the Arranger. This is a bit like orchestrating the accompaniment because you can leave out parts, thin out the drum part, or even use a totally different accompaniment. This can be done in realtime (i.e. while you are playing). See “More about Style Progression” on page 40 for a detailed discussion of this function. Press STYLE PROGRESSION A to select a higher level, and STYLE PROGRESSION T to select a simpler version. Watch the STYLE PROGRESSION field in the display. See page 40 for details about this field.

Once on a lower level, you can, however, work your way up again using STYLE PROGRESSION A. Style Progression is great fun and a wonderful way of using the full potential of Roland’s acclaimed Arranger/Music Style expertise. Style Morphing Style Morphing is a totally new concept of working with Music Styles. This function allows you to use one or several accompaniment parts of one Music Style and the others of a second Music Style. If you’re not sure what is meant by parts, go back to “About the Arranger” on page 13. See “Style Morphing details” on page 40 for more information about the Style Morphing function. Every time you select a Music Style, the EM-50/30 automatically prepares a second Style in the background. The Style you select is called “A”. The “covert” Style is called “B”. If you do not change the Style Mor- 16 EM-50B0 piling setting, you won’t even notice there is a second Style waiting to supply the requested accompaniment part(s). The link between “A” and “B” Styles is preset. This allows the EM-50/30 to automate the selection process and to prepare a suitable “B" Style. Feel free, however, to assign another Music Style to “B” if you want to explore new morphing combinations (see “Selecting another “B" Style” on page 40). Press STYLE MORPHING [B] to use one (or yet another) accompaniment part from Style B. Watch the STYLE MORPHING field in the display. See page 40 for details about this field. Press STYLE MORPHING [A] to use one more part from Style “A”. Note: When you select a new Music Style with the MUSIC STYLE/USER PROGRAM buttons, the Style Morphing function is reset to the "Style A only” status. The Style Morphing setting can, however, be written to a User Program. As soon as you morph in one part from Style B (stages 1 ~6), the HHflm icon appears below the ■MffJI ¡con jn the upper right-hand corner of the display. If you are only using Style B parts, only the ■WITH jcon remains in the display. 4.5 Other useful Music Style functions Bass Inversion Press the [BASS INVERSION! button (the icon appears) to change the way the Arranger reads the chords you play. If the icon is not displayed, the Accompaniment Bass part plays the root of the chords that feed the Arranger. If you play a C (or C chord), the bass thus sounds a C; if you play an A minor chord (or if you press A and the C to its right), the bass sounds and A, etc. Activating Bass Inversion gives you more artistic license because you specify the note played by the Accompaniment Bass part (the lowest note ...
