In order to make styles on any keyboard, you need to have some knowledge about rhythm. For example, there are many different variation in Kerwa i.e
Dha Tete tin tin Ta tete Dhn Dhn
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Or
Da ge na ti na ke din na
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Find these sounds in any drum kits that has tabla. Select that drum kit, remember where are the sounds and you can either recored live or step record.
try practicing on the second beat (da ge na ti na ke din na) this is easy to practice with because you can either use quarter note.. now that you have recorded the tabla you can experiment with drums and your bass line ect.
when recording your accompaniment make sure your chords are Major 7th or minor. Record using the (c) chord so that after the beat is complete the keyboard can transpose your accompaniment correctly.

Ok so once u have created your drum, and percussion tracks you can then create accompaniment. In order to create accompaniments you should have some knowledge about chords. Chords can be three notes, four notes or five notes. chords can be played all at once (pressing three notes all at ones or arpeggio) Korg will allow you to write chords in minor scale, major scale and advanced jazz scales like diminished, sustained, or etc. Most Afghani songs are either in major scale or minor. This really doesn't matter, you can create your accompaniment in Major 7th from Note Sa or C) the C chord is the following notes: C, E, G (3 notes) or C, E, G, C (four notes) or C, E, G, B for Major 7th.

For example:

Mughuli is actually a 7 beat (pulse) or Matra with the following bols from Tabla:

tin (silence) Na Dn Dn na na (if you count all the notes including the silence there are 7 notes) this is the basic theka for Moghula Lam

So for this example play the C chord where you see the note (NA).
notice that Mughuli is an akward rhythm it starts from Khali (the first note being tin) Just like rupak (tn, tn, nana, dn dn, na na) anyway I hope you already understand Khali and Tali in any rhythm)

The other hint I can give you is to open an existing style you have. Go to Menu on your keyboard, go to Even edit and take a look at the style how it has been writtien. Mute all other channals or tracks and listen to each track and you will have a better idea on how to write a new rhythm).

**the key in writing accompaniment is that it has to be from the same key and same scale so when you are playing the keyboard the chip or brain of the keyboard can transpose notes as u change chords).
I hope this helpsSSS

Dear my kind and sweet brother Armaan Jan:
Hope you and your family are in the best of health.

This is a tremendous help to me and do thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help and kindness. You took your time to explain everything in detail and now I know where to start and what will be my next step. That was all I needed. Again thank you so much. I hope not to bother you again but I think your direction and info covered most of the areas that I had difficulties. Khoda Hafiz and Negahdar.

Best Regards,

Fahim, Very Happy

I hope this information will help u. let me know if you get stuck. I am new to this site. My keyboard keeps freezing on me. Anyway, I saw a lot of afghans here on this site and was able to read some discussion here and there but I didn't see anyone trying to learn. everyone is asking for beats. This sucks because you will see that so much goes behind creating a simple rhythm. However, you will learn alot from this process. It will actually help you understand so much in just music. I am glad that you are trying hard. When i started, I had the same problem. No one would teach or share. Try to understand chord structure, and experiment with patterns (arpeggios) remember the c chord and you should be fine. Creating the drum and percussion is the easy part (smile).

Dear sehasafade12,

If you can read Dari then there is a music theory book in Dari, written by an Afghan named Sediq Qiam "I think", it should be available in afghan stores, this exlpains everything from taal to raag and even western notation.

As Arman has mentioned you need to learn the basics of tabla like how many matras does dadra have or keherwa etc.. and you also need to know the bols. Then read some basic western music theory on how to form root chords, harmonies and some other basics.

This will help you greatly in making styles specially in making nice chords and also quantizing values.

To make a nice keherwa I suggest you take any 8 beat style you like from the factory presets and just edit the percussion track and add the tabla to it. The factory presets have some nice 8 beat styles where they can match most afghan songs in keherwa you just add the tabla.
