Length of Style variations

Hi,
I discovered, by chance while trying to make a song style on a DAW from a midi file, that we could make a variation of a superior length to 32 measures on all the variation except on the Fill and the Break. From what I saw, we can go up to 128 measures,  maybe more (to check). I do not know yet what it could be used for, perhaps to make series of song styles, but it may be of interest to some who like to hack a bit. If you have interesting uses, do not hesitate to share them. I suppose, moreover, that it must be the same thing on the Genos since the Style Creator is exactly the same basically as on the T5.
Have fun and good Sunday.  ;D 8)

For Styles

Intro Ending and Variation can be 32 Bars Each. 

Fill and Break is 1 bar. 

Standard for Tyros and PSR S.
I'm not sure about the other Keyboards.
Regards Norman!

Yes you certainly can my friend.
More than 4 bars can be used to make a style more "interesting" and mostly for song specific styles.
While creating a style from scratch is rather difficult, we can copy the already existed 4 bars of the style to the next 4 or 8 or even 28(too many,we don't want to create a ....midi :)) if we wish.

Let's say you choose 8 bars for the style.
Then as long as the bars 1-4 are identical to bars 5-8 and of course you don't want that,
you can insert a different sound to bar 5.
E.g piano sound for bars 1-4,guitar sound for bars 5-8.
Two different sounds at the same part of the style.

If you don't want the same riff for bars 5-8 go to another style,pick a riff that you believe that will match with your 1-4 bars,take a snapshot with your tablet or I-pad and go to bars 5-8 and put the same notes at the same timing as they were on the other style.
Now you have one riff for bars 1-4 and a different riff for bars 5-8.
(The keyboard can assembly whole parts of a style but not individual Guets are not allowed to view links. In order to access the links, please Register or Login before we test whether it sounds good or not we must do this precedure first)

If you want you can copy bars 1-4 to bars 5-8 and add notes or delete notes or move notes
to make it sound a little different.

All of these  can be done by using style creator's "pattern length","assembly" function,"bar copy" and "edit" tab.

About 4/4 rhythms:
The first bar has a measure between 001:1:0000 and 001:1:1919
So this is the length(time) of a whole note= 1919
The quarter note has a length of 0480 (1919/4=480)

So the first beat of a bar is 001:1:0000
Second beat                      001:1:0480   
Third beat                         001:1:0960
Fourth beat                       001:1:1440

First beat of the second bar is 002:1:0000
and so on...

Olly Woo has made a tutorial also about these things on Youtube.
I don't have a Genos but I watch them.
There might be a feature,a function,a "trick",or a "workaround" with something that I have missed about what I can do with my psr.

Most Free styles use this amount of bars so that it enables you to play rubato in places.
