looking for slow 3/4 styles

[feivi18]

Hi everyone,

I'm loving and still learning how to use my psr970, but am in need of slow, ballad-type 3/4 styles, and have found that there are very few 3/4 styles in the keyboard. Does anyone have a suggestion how I can find styles like that and add them? Alternatively, is there a way to change 4/4 styles into 3/4 styles in the keyboard itself?

Thanks in advance!

Philip

Hi Philip!
I'm in kind of the same situation, so I'm afraid I can't help but I just write here to be able to follow the tread.
In my case I primarily want them for gospel/soul type of ballads like "Peace in the valley", "Amazing grace" etc.
Maybe sometimes it is 6/8 or 9/8 that could be useful. There is a style called "Gospel Sisters 6/8" that is not so far from what I am looking for.

Best regards Marcus

Phillip,
Just find the ones you like and slow them down.

Hi Deane,

Slowing them down doesn't work, because the songs I'm using them for have a different beat (i.e. 3/4 rather than 4/4).

There are not that many waltz styles out there as you have found.

As I have run into this problem with not only waltz styles but also finding styles to use in order to play songs from the last 10-20 years. I got so frustrated, I finally resorted to creating my own styles by "cutting and pasting" different parts of all the waltz styles to create something totally new.

I started off making small changes at first, like changing the BREAK used in the style and the Phr1 & Phr2 patterns. Then maybe just change the the instrument voice of the Phr. Just easy changes like that made a new style.   

Now a days I totally change dang near everything when I make a song style, but I first just tinkered around a little bit with the styles.

Regards

I only found three 3/4 styles that I have modified for s750 and two of them are not even slow 
There is a button on your keyboard called Music Finder and search all the preset 3/4 styles that your Psr has in all sections.
Also search for 6/8 styles or 9/8 styles as Marcus said.

If you try to change a style from 4/4 to 3/4 in style creator all the parts of the style will be deleted.

Dean means find a 3/4 style you like then slow it down to the tempo.
While there are few 3/4 styles in a way you don't need many because there isn't too much variation between 3/4 accompaniments and I have always found starting with one of the panel 3/4 styles like country waltz and making a couple of edits (what Drake calls tinkering rather than full fledged style creation) works for most 3/4 songs. Sometimes it's as little as the tempo.
It can be a bit more difficult for things like heavy rock waltz rhythms like say Leo Sayers 'when I need you' - never did find a style I really liked for that.But I never had any any trouble with simple stuff like Amazing Grace.
Making a good 3/4 style would require more than just changing the time signature on a 4/4 style so I would not go that route.

By the way I will put the links of how 2 of 3 styles that I have attached above sound like.

"Honor him" is from Gladiator soundtrack and probably I have used a preset style with not much modification or none at all.

For "Conquest of Paradise" soundtrack the styles that I found didn't sound good on my psr so I have done some editing and mixing between 2 styles to sound better,at least to my ears.
I have used the preset multipad called Gong&Chimes.
