With Style Factory you can create new variations of existing styles or compile completely new ones the easy way. Simply exhange the bass line, add a brass lick or exchange the complete drumkit. Doing your own styles is real fun!

The following modules are available:

Style Arranger - for the modification of an existing style by replacement and/or addition of new elements from the Style Phrase Library. Some creative macro functions are available as well.

Phrase Extractor - enables you to extend the Style Phrase Library; import any elements from the styles of any current keyboard. After that the new phrases are available in the Style Phrase Library for your new creations.

 

The single versions (e.g. Style Factory Yamaha, Style Factory Roland) provide the creation and modification of styles in the format of the relevant manufacturer.

Single versions are available for:
Technics * Roland * Korg * Solton * Yamaha * Wersi * Generalmusic * Kawai

Style Arranger - the Style Phrase Library coming with the software already contains several thousand style elements like drum tracks, guitar tracks, bass tracks etc (the so-called "Phrases"). You may now modify an existing style by adding or replacing tracks with elements from the Style Phrase Library or even compile a completely new style this way. There are no limits to your phantasy! Simply  "Drag & Drop" the new elements to the desired destination position in the style, done! You can listen immediately to the result like it will sound when playing on your keyboard later on!
In addition there are some very efficient functions for the creative modification  ("Humanize", "Swing", "Guitar Style" etc).
Once your satisfied with the result simply save the new style in the format of your instrument and you are ready to play it on your keyboard!

The Phrase Extractor

The "very special" feature of Style Factory: You can expand the Style Phrase Library with elements from styles of practically any current keyboard. Load an interesting style into the Phrase Extractor and use the contained tracks for your own creations!
The single style parts (or even individual tracks) can be played back; select the tracks you like by clicking the "Import" flag, define a category for the style ("Latin", "8Beat" etc) and save the selected tracks. Now they can be used in the Style Arranger like any other phrases.
