Use “If RealDrums style not found, use other RealDrums style” to replace RealDrums
styles that you don’t have (i.e., haven’t purchased yet) with ones that you do have. This
feature also has a range of settings from 1 to 5. If set to 1, almost all missing styles will
be substituted. If set to 5, only RealDrum styles that match the style perfectly will be
substituted.
Technical note: The a_pgmusic.ds text file controls this feature.

F or this song, choose different ^variations with each play
When this is set, if you save a specific style with a song, you’ll hear a new variation of
that style each time you press PLAY, with different drum instruments.
Developer Mode
Only set this when you are a developer making a RealDrums style and want to see
additional debug information such as the /Applications/Band-in-a-Box
/drumaudioresults.txt file and messages about errors in the _style.txt file.
Hi-Res Quality at half-speed
When selected, RealDrums will use a higher quality (more CPU intensive) method to
play the drums when playing at ½ or ¼ speed (from the Play menu).
Global Volume adjust
If you are finding that the RealDrums track is too loud or quiet in relations to the MIDI
parts, you can adjust the volume here. This affects all RealDrums styles.
Slide Track
You should normally leave this at 0, but if you are having sync problems between the
MIDI tracks and RealDrums you can set this to a positive or negative value. Values are
in milliseconds (ms).
