There are several ways to hear RealDrums with your Band-in-a-Box songs.
Styles (.STY) can have RealDrums (e.g. “–ZZJAZZ.STY”). This is in the StyleMaker’s Misc. Style
Settings dialog.
We provide many styles that already have RealDrums. These styles can be identified by the style name beginning
with a minus sign. For example “-ZZJAZZ.STY” is a version of the ZZJAZZ.STY that uses RealDrums.
You can set the RealDrum style inside the StyleMaker, by pressing the MISC button, and then typing the
name of the RealDrum style.
The StylePicker has a special category that lists a lot of RealDrum styles that are included with the
program.
RealDrums can be substituted for MIDI drums on existing styles.
This will substitute RealDrums for MIDI styles. You can change the setting from 1 to 5. If set to 1, almost all MIDI
drums will get substituted by RealDrums. If set to 5, only RealDrum styles that match the style perfectly will get
substituted.
Technical note: The text file a_pgmusic.ds provided by PG Music controls this, and users can make other files MySubs.ds if
they make their own RealDrums styles.
Songs can have RealDrums added to them.
To do this, set the desired style in this dialog, or the “File-Save With Patches etc.” dialog. This will let the current
song use the specific RealDrums style.
