 Posted: Fri Nov 22, 2013 1:04 am Post subject: How do I change a style to 2/4 rather than 4/4 |
 |
|
I am using a 4/4 style at a slow tempo, 48, so if I leave a full bar between verses it's a long gap. Is there a way I can change the style to play exactly the same but in twice the number of bars, ie splitting each 4/4 bar in 2. That way, if I leave a bar between verses it would be half the time.
Since I am using all the variations and the Pa900 does not have dedicated fill buttons I can't change one of them to a half bar.

Search the forums with ""change style meter" 'search all terms' and you will find some juicy discussions.

You can have a style with multiple time signatures, but you can not have more than one time signature per Element, meaning Var 1 can either be 4/4 or 2/4.....Nonetheless, you can program Var 2 (or whatever) to be in 2/4...
So maybe you can use that variation to play Chorus, or that section of the song....That would be a Song-specific type of style.
If you just need 1 bar in 2/4, you can also program a 1 bar fill that's in 2/4.
What song are you trying to play?

The tune is Greensleeves, the song is a Christmas carol called What Child Is This. It's actually a 6/8 piece; Yamaha created a style called GreenFantasia which is perfect for it. I have a conversion which I use on my Pa900.
I see in the manual that you cannot change the meter when there is something in the element, perhaps I need to create a new style at 2/4 and copy the elements over. I'll give that a try.
This is a new world for me!

It's really easy to do this in an external sequencer.
You can easily use a 3/8 style to play"What child is this" . This will solve all your problems.
Once an element is recorded or imported, you're not allowed to change the TS. Adding or removing a bar won't help. You would need to record it one more time with the new TS.
