Bass Pattern Options
Relative Weight Usual Setting = 5
Set this number higher/lower if you want the pattern to be played more/less often than the other patterns on the same
row. This number is also displayed on the main StyleMaker screen.
A setting of 9 (always) is a special setting that instructs the pattern to always be played instead of the other patterns
on the same row. These patterns always have other options set which specify the times that this pattern would be
eligible to be played.
Playback Bar Mask Usual Setting = 0
Playback Bar Mask determines on what bars of the song the pattern will play. The bar numbers are counted relative
to the last part marker, and range from 1-8. Bar 1 is the first bar after a part marker for example. Other bar mask
settings:
1. pattern played at odd number bars only 1, 3, 5, 7, 9...
2. pattern played at even bars only 2, 4, 6, 8, 10...
3. pattern played on 3rd of 4 bar (3, 7, 11, 15...)
4. pattern played on 4th of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, 20...)
5. pattern played on 5th of 8 (5, 13, 21...)
6. pattern played on 6th of 8 (6, 14, 22...)
7. pattern played on 7th of 8 (7, 15, 23...)
8. pattern played on 8th of 8 (8, 16, 24...)
Special bar masks
1. PRE-FILL special value - refers to the bar before a fill.
2. FILL refers to the bar of a fill (this allows you to put in “bass fills” for example).
3. POST-FILL refers to the bar after a fill (same as the first bar after a part marker).
