Importing Patterns into a Style
Importing a pattern into a style is a powerful feature that greatly speeds up the making of new styles. In the interests
of not “re-inventing the wheel” with each new style, this allows you to import a pattern from another style.
How to Import a Pattern into a Style
A pattern can be copied from one style to another by copying and pasting. The Miami Pop style has a nice Strings
part, in this example we’ll import the Strings from Miami Pop style into the Light Rock style, ZZLITROK.STY.
Let's import the “Miami Pop” strings into the Light Rock style.
- Choose the [LOAD] button.
- Select the ZZMIAMI.STY style from the file dialog.
- Select the [Strings] button to display the String patterns for this style.
- Select an 8-beat String pattern to copy and press the [COPY] button.
- Choose the [LOAD] button.
- Select the ZZLITROK.STY style.
- Press the OPEN button to open this style.
- Choose an empty 8-beat “b” String pattern (because that is where the String pattern was recorded in) and press
the [PASTE] button.
- Press the [SAVE] button to save the Lite Rock style with Strings.
The strings will play in the “b” substyle only, because that's how they were made in the Miami Pop style.
You could now import the Guitar from the ZZCONTRY.STY for example, using the steps above. It is quite easy to
quickly add instruments to styles by importing instruments from other styles.
