Chapter 2: QuickStart Tutorial

Selecting a Style using the StylePicker.

This window shows styles listed by categories. RealStyles are styles entirely made with

RealTracks and RealDrums. Styles with RealTracks use a combination of RealTracks

and MIDI instruments. MultiStyles are styles with more variations than the standard “a”

and “b” substyles.

Select a Set or genre from the left pane, and choose the specific style on the right pane.

There are memos and examples for each of the styles. Styles with a similar feel and

tempo range to the current selection (prototype) are marked with an (*) asterisk. These

styles are possible substitutes for the prototype. Styles marked with a (^) caret symbol

are similar in feel but have a different tempo range. The style of your song can be

changed at any bar by pressing the F5 key to launch the Edit Bar Settings dialog.

Method 3: Favorites

Styles that you’ve used previously show up in the Favorite Styles dialog. Choose this

from the menu User | Load Favorite Styles… or type Shift+F9 on your computer

keyboard, or click on the [F] button to the left of the [Style] StylePicker button. You can

choose to save a Favorites set for use later. You can also load a set of favorite styles this

way.

Method 4: Quick Pick

You can choose from among the 24 “built-in” styles. This list provides a quick way to

choose from among the most popular music genres.
