Style changes instrument by itself - why ?

[Al Ram]

Hello Friends

I am using the attached style within the attached registration.   I am performing and singing the Spanish version of Achy Breaky Heart . . . . everything works great for me . . . except the following problem i am encountering

The registration has 7 buttons from R1 to R7.  Each button is basically the same, just slightly changing some parameters such as Variation, tempo, etc.   but basically the same.

When playing R1 to R3 no problem, but when i play R4 and R5 that call up intro III and change variation to D . . .   i encounter the following problem . . .

after finishing the intro, the Phrase 1 instrument changes by itself from distortion guitar to strings . . . . so basically, when playing variation D of the style is when this happens.  Instrument changes by itself after finishing playing the intro III

I do not know why or how to avoid that.  I do not want the style to change instrument by itself . . . 

Anyone know why ? or how to avoid it ?

I already have a workaround but still intrigued by this change and would like to learn how to fix.

It is really appreciated.   Thanks in advance.

Do you play with a midi file song I:/PDF_MIDIS/Always on my mind.mid

May be there are some sys/ex that changes the style.

The Registration contains Instrument Change.

You'll need to change it.


To do so.
Click on Registration 4
Make the Changes on Instrument with the correct Voice,
Repeat the same for Registration 5 if needed.

Save the whole Registration Bank ( Rename it)
This should solve your problem.
Regards Norman!

My friend,
Styles Voices don't get affected by Songs,
Specially Registration. Changes.

The only possible way it could be done.
Via DAW. Sending Sy***

Please correct me if I'm incorrect.

Open a midi song in mixmaster.
You will find the style sy*** @ MBT 001:2:0000

My friend,
Every midi will have Sy***.


My Friend Al
Has a Style problem. Which ends up being a registration problem.

A Midi song does have a style sy***.
You can change the style by select another midi song without using registrtation.
When you have midi songs in your registration the styles will be select by the midi song.

[panos]

The style is using a string sound in phrase 1 in main D so the reg is just playing the style as it is.
You need to use style creator to change the voice of the phrase 1 of Main D to something else you like.(If someone with a Genos can help Al and resave the style?)

From what I have learned is that Registrations always show a midi file that is at use at the moment the reg is saved but it cannot effect anything in the reg as long as the midi box of the reg was unmarked.

The "Always on my mind" midi is probably the preset midi of the model.
That is why it is shown on the reg.(Just the name may exist but nothing more)

[tyrosaurus]

As Panos has pointed out, your 'problem' is with the style!

The MAIN D variation starts at measure 45.  There is a program change at the beginning of the bar which sets the Phr1 voice to the XG-Distortion Guitar, but then this event is immediately followed by another program change which selects the XG-StringEnsemble for the Phr1 part!   This voice is then used for that variation.

You can simply edit the style to remove the second program change using MixMaster, or add yet another program change to select the guitar again using the Style Creator in conjunction with the Mixing Console, but even if you do this, the note pattern for Phr1 in Main D is just a three note chord sustained for 8 beats (which is the length of the Main D section), and this is much more typical of a part for stings than a guitar!

So you would probably need to use a different note pattern for the Phr1 part if you change the voice back to a guitar!

The style that you posted has the volume level for the strings quite low (32) but your registration increases it to 100 which makes the string sound much more noticeable!  You might find that you can live with the style as it is, using the string voice, if you reduce the part level in the registration memory that selects Main D but that would also reduce the Phr1 level in the Intro!

If you want different part levels for the Intro and Main D, you would need to use two registrations. If you only want to use one reg. then you would need to modify the strings level in the style variation, either by reducing the note velocities or adding an expression event.  You will need to do in MixMaster or some DAW since the keyboard's Style Creator (or whatever on Genos) will not allow you to access the style's Phr1 part unless you delete it and record your own!

All
Thank you so much for your help.

This is what i did . . . 

First, i want to explain that I do not play midis. However, a long time ago I was considering and experimenting with midis. My brief experience lead me to discard midis when playing. Cause I could not find a good use of midis when playing live.    So, i just dropped the midi project.   The one midi song 'You were always on my mind' was probably one midi i was experiencing with and it just happened to be selected when the registration was created.  In fact it is probably saved in many other regs.     However, it does not affect my playing.

OK. I read all your notes very carefully and Thanks  to your notes and playing around with the style I confirm that the change in Phrase 1 instrument for Var D must be in the programming of the style itself.

So, after playing with it and trying different things I came up with this . . . . I just resaved R4 and R5 . . . but before selecting the intro, i selected the desired guitar for R4 and R5, with no intro and saved it,  and then selected the intro and re-saved it.     

It is now playing the way i want it without changing instrument.

My planned work around was to not play Var D, in essence resave R4 and R5 with var C.

thanks to all, it is really appreciated.

Hi,
I also have a very similar issue with my Genos. I have never loaded any MIDI files and don't even use regisytrations. please see below thread - there has been no resolution to this as yet:

Murat, you never replied to my post explaining how the Brasil drums can legitimately remain in Rh1 of the following style, after which the whole thread went pear shaped.........
