- Set is the number of the RealDrums set that includes the style.
You can type in your own comments about any style in
the “User comments” field and they are saved.
RealDrums styles ending in a caret (^) have variations available. They
are listed here. Where there are two instruments shown, such as
Brushes/Sticks, the first one plays in the “a” substyle and the second in
the “b” substyle.
[PlayNow] loads the selected RealDrums and starts playback.
The [Stop] button stops the song playback. Click on [PlayNow] to resume.
The [Audition] button doesn’t load the style but instead uses Media Player to play a demo .AIFF file for the
style.
[Settings] opens the RealDrums Settings dialog.
[Rebuild] builds the list of RealDrums present as folders in the Drums folder. If you add new drum styles, press
this button to update the list. RealDrums made by you (or others) that are added by you to the RealDrums folder
also appear in the RealDrums Picker dialog.
[Defaults] returns the dialog to default settings, which will show all available styles.
Press [OK] to make your selection and return to the song.
Press [Cancel] to return to the song without making a selection.
RealDrums style change at any bar (F5)
The Edit bar settings dialog opens with the menu command Edit | Bar Settings, with the F5 function key, or the
keystrokes Alt+B.
Tip: If the F5 key (or F8 key) does not perform the expected function in Band-in-a-Box, you will need to go to the Apple System
Preferences and uncheck the system setting in the Keyboard Shortcuts list.
In this dialog you can change the style of RealDrums at the current bar (location of the highlight cell). The change
can affect all choruses, or just a selected chorus.
