Next interval masks Only when next chord of song is certain

interval (e.g., up a fourth)

But the StyleMaker is loaded with options and features that allow your styles to

grow in complexity and number of patterns. For example, it is possible to input

up to 600 patterns in a given style.

In addition, patterns can be classified by many ways allowing them to be played

only at appropriate times. For example, patterns can be given varying lengths or

can be assigned to certain types of chords or only to be played on even or odd

number bars and many others. We believe that the StyleMaker satisfies both the

need to create simple styles with repetitive patterns and the ability to create

complex styles intelligently.

To create a style you will be creating Bass / Piano / Guitar / Strings patterns (in

the key of C) and Drum patterns. Once made, the styles are saved to disk and

are then ready to be used by the program for playing any song in the selected

“User style.” Styles end up as files with a .STY extension, different from song

files, which have a .SG? or a .MG?extension.

The StyleMaker has been designed to be as flexible as possible. A simple style

would consist of three patterns (one each for bass, drums, and piano) but more

complex styles are created by using more patterns.

The styles consist of two substyles, “a” and “b.” Typically, the ‘A” sub-style

would be the more “laid back” portion of the style such as a verse or in the case

of a Jazz Swing style, a two-beat part. The “b” substyle would be a Chorus

section (bridge) or “Swing” part in reference to a typical Jazz Swing style.

On the StyleMaker page, you'll see rows of dots that line up with their respective

instruments / substyle / length in beats / etc. These are locations for your

patterns that you'll be recording. In order to create a Style, you'll need a MIDI

instrument of some sort (keyboard, MIDI guitar, drum controllers) with a MIDI

Out port. Styles are made by entering Drum, Bass, and/or Piano patterns in the

desired style.

Drum patterns:

- Are entered in step time, Tap mode, and Real Time from a typical drum

programming screen (grid).

- Are always entered as 1-bar patterns (longer patterns may be chained

together using BAR MASKS – described below).

The drum patterns are entered from the drum screen in 4 sections (these 4

sections appear when you click on the drum button).

A patterns This row is for 1 bar drum patterns for the “a” substyle.
