CVP Series

Downloadable Groove and Dynamics Styles

The following information applies to the following models:

Tyros, PSR1100, PSR2100, 9000PRO, CVP103, CVP105, CVP107, CVP109, CVP201, CVP203, CVP205, CVP207, CVP209, CVP700, PSR640, PSR740, PSR1000, PSR2000 and PSR9000.

The Groove function allows the modification of note timing without changing the melodic content of a style. In other words, this feature can modify an 8 Beat Pop Style with a Reggae or Swing groove. In effect, the Style is transformed in to an 8 Beat Reggae Pop Style.

The Dynamics function allows playing intensities to be varied within a Style. In other words, a horn part can be modified so that it increases or decreased with respect to the volume at various intervals.

NOTE: Only the 9000PRO, PSR740, PSR1000, PSR2000 and PSR9000 have Groove and Dynamics functions. However, ALL the Yamaha models listed above can load and play these downloadable styles.

These new styles were derived from factory preset Styles of the PSR9000. They have been modified by the Groove and Dynamics functions. Download them and try them out.
