Event List Editor
The [#] button in the StyleMaker Pattern Editor notation window opens an event list for editing, inserting,
or deleting notes in the patterns.
Alternatives to Recording Patterns
It’s not always necessary to record every pattern for a style, or any patterns, for that matter. The import features in
the StyleMaker make it possible to assemble an entirely new style from existing styles, or to import patterns from
favorite MIDI files.
Hybrid Styles
The “Hybrid Styles” feature allows you to play and create a style that has instruments from up to five different
styles! You can, for example, play a song with a Reggae bass, Rock drums, Salsa piano, or any combination of up
to five styles that you want. Create a name for your hybrid style and you can save it with the song so that it will play
that way in the future.
To use the Hybrid Styles feature, choose Styles | Make a Hybrid style or click on the hybrid [STY] button
in the toolbar. You’ll then see the Make a Hybrid style dialog.
Your hybrid style can be up to five instruments, each from a different style. For example, you can have a Latin
drum part, with a Zydeco bass, and Jazz guitar part, and strings from a Classical style!
Select the instrument (e.g. Bass), and then select a style by pressing the [.STY] button. Repeat for
up to five instruments.
