Hello Forum Members,
I am considering purchasing a PSR-S970. It has been many years since I did MIDI sequencing/programming, but when I did I was fairly expert at it. I have a question about the onboard sequencer. When you record a song that uses accompaniment styles on the onboard sequencer, I assume that does not translate into actual MIDI data for each sound used in the accompaniment, but rather a recording of the actual notes (chords) the player plays to get the accompaniment to play.
For example, let's say I liked an accompaniment style for a song consisting of a bass, drums, and a "guitar." Let's say I record a song on the keyboard using that style, does the sequencer have MIDI data on the track for the chords I physically played OR does have the actual notes played by the keyboard style for the bass, drums, and guitar?
Why do I want to know this? Sometimes a style will be mostly right, but I want to do some musical tweaking to it. Also, if the actual notes, velocity, etc. are recorded, I can change instruments/voices/sounds, or even export to a DAW and use even more sounds later. This would save me from having to hack out the drums, bass, etc. myself every time I want to capture an idea...
I have tried to be clear with my question, but it seems clear as mud when I read it. I hope one of you good folks that has experience on this or the 770 can enlighten me about how styles are used in sequencing. Thanks in advance,
Jay B.
