The StyleMaker



Overview of the StyleMaker

The StyleMaker is the section of the program that allows you to create brand

new styles or edit existing styles. This is done by recording patterns for each of

the Drums, Bass, Piano, Guitar, and Strings parts. If you don't want an

instrument in a style, you don't need to record any patterns for it.

The simplest style consists of 1 pattern each for the instruments that you want in

the style. If you like, you can use options available to you called “masks.”

Masks are options that you set for a pattern to specify when you want the pattern

to be played. There is a list of masks below.

Masks Available for Patterns

Complex styles can be made allowing patterns to be recorded that are played

only at certain times. These are referred to as masks.

Substyle masks Substyle A or Substyle B

Chord duration masks On chords lasting 1,2,4 or 8 beats

Bar masks On certain bar numbers

Beat masks On certain beat numbers

Chord masks On certain types of chords

Roman Numeral masks On certain Roman numerals (e.g., II chord)
