Load Previous Style, Load Next Style.
This function, like the Load Next Song function, loads in the previous (or next) style in alphabetical order of the file
name. These functions are in the Styles menu, and accessible with the hot keys Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F8 (or
Alt+Shift+F8).
Style Aliases
You can create an alias so that when Band-in-a-Box looks for a style, it will load its alias instead, so when you have
found a new favorite style just change the alias and you don’t have to change all of your songs.
- To create a new alias, click on an empty spot in the Alias list, or click on the alias you wish to edit if you wish
to change an existing alias.
- Press the [Choose] button below the Original Style box and select the style you wish to be replaced.
- Press the [Choose] button below the Substitution box and select the replacement style (alias).
- If you want to type in a style name use the [Custom] button.
When you have successfully made an alias, you will notice that there will be a small arrow in the Styles box on the
main screen indicating that you have an alias loaded.
Tip: You can temporarily totally disable the Alias feature by disabling the Allow Any Style Aliases checkbox found in the
dialog. You can also have confirmation of alias substitutions by enabling the Confirm Substitution checkbox.
Choose from 24 “Built-in” Styles
Use this list as a convenient way to make a quick pick from the list of 24 original Band-in-a-Box styles. Once you
load a style, the song will be played back using your chosen style and you can change the style any time.

MIDI/Audio Driver setup…
Select MIDI Input and MIDI Output drivers and choose a Synthesizer / Sound Card patch map. Select the [Run
Driver Wizard] button for help with your selection. Click on the [Audio Settings] button if you need to set up audio
drivers, such as ASIO drivers. This topic is discussed in detail in the MIDI and Audio Setup instructions.
Use/Set ALTERNATE MIDI output driver for session
The Opt. menu item Use/Set Alternate MIDI Driver for session, allows you to set a temporary MIDI Driver for a
session, useful when your main MIDI Driver is “in-use” by another application.
