The “Copy Melody to Melody Track” is a utility function that
should only be used when the style is “finished.” Prior to executing this command, the Melody track contains the
entire MIDI file with all of the parts. This “MIDI-file-on-the-Melody-track” is used to create the style. Once the
style is created, you might want to extract the actual Melody track from the MIDI file to put on the Melody track.
The channels used are the channels that have the BB Part set to “Melody.” When you do this command, you are
prompted to save the MGX file (i.e. the file with the MIDI file on the Melody track), so that you can revisit the file.
This “Copy Melody to Melody Track” is useful to audition your new style, because you can then hear just the
Melody along with your style.
“Copy Melody to Soloist track” works in a similar way except
that it doesn't erase the MIDI file part on the Melody track.
“Generate NEW style…” makes a new style. The Style Creation Wizard dialog
is exited, and a file dialog allows you to pick a name for the style.
“Add to existing style...” allows you to add the patterns to an existing style.
The [More] button launches the Style Wizard – Advanced Settings and Preferences dialog.
Style Wizard “More…” Dialog
This dialog is launched from the [More…] button in the Style Wizard.
There are 2 sections to this dialog.
Advanced Instrument Settings
The advanced instrument settings allow settings for the instruments (drums / bass / piano / guitar / strings) to be
included in the style. The settings are:
The “Substyles” determines whether the instrument is included in the “A,” “B,” or both “A&B”
substyles. For example, if you want to make a style that only uses the strings on the “B” substyle,
set the strings instrument part to “B” only.
