following section: (please refer to the file KetronStyleSetUp.mid).
4 Arranger: A , B , C, D. The standard length of an arranger is typically 8 bars but also 2,4,16,24 and 32 bars are
accepted accordingly with different musical needs.
Important: if Audio Drums are used into the Style, on Midi part must have the same length of the Audio Drum file
(See chapter Audio Style Modeling).
For example, if the Audio Drum has a length of 8 bars and a Time signature of 4/4, also the Midi must be 8
measures and Time Sign. 4 / 4.
4 Fill Ins: A, B, C, D. 1 Bar. Each Fill on is related to its Arranger A, B, C and D.

Intro 1: Very short Intro only with drum and / or percussion.
End 1: Short Ending with a Corona stop.
The End 1 composing must be done straight on C Major without chord changing or melody lines. Most

Modeling”)
Intro 2: Typically a couple of bars programmed straight on C Major and Minor without chord changing or melody
lines.
End 2: Typically 2 or 3 bars plus and stop as Corona.
To be programmed straight on C Major and Minor without chord changing or melody lines. Most of Live
