Topic: Free- Piano Rubato

[viethai]

Hi all,
Had such a style as Free-Piano Rubato for PSR 950 ever made by forum members? Thanks for all and helps here.

That would be pretty much impossible. Free time styles typically are composed of pad type continuous sounds. Individual notes on an instrument like a piano would set a timing, so free time wouldn't really work.

Cause I read in other thread from PSR E series

“ Hi --

In theory, an E473 should be able to play a Free Play style. Several years ago, I took a look inside Free Play styles:

http://sandsoftwaresound.net/freeplay-style-deconstructed/

In short, the MAIN sections simply hold a chord for 8, 16, 32 measures. The styles don't have anything (or much) in the style rhythm parts.

Free Plays styles from the S-, SX- or Genos/Tyros are in SFF GE (Guitar Edition) format. SFF GE is often called "SFF2" because the first MIDI marker in the file is "SFF2". The E473 is SFF1. So, you need to convert the SFF2 style to SFF1.

Jørgen Sørensen has a program to convert SFF2 to SFF1. He also has a ton of other useful programs on his site:

I thought that free- Piano style is existing. Some one in this forum must have talent to create it.
Thanks for quick reply.

 Free styles use pad or string sounds with a sustained notes or chords. But piano chords have an attack then die, so it really can’t work because the attack would effectively set a tempo and that would not be a free time style. It’s not about skill or talent.
You can play piano rubato over a free style, but that would not be a ‘piano style’.
