Miscellaneous Style Settings
This dialog box allows you to set some miscellaneous settings for the style. They are:
LongName (32 chars)
A long style name can be stored in the style (up to 32 characters), and this will appear on screen and in StylePicker.
Waltz?
If you want to make a waltz with the StyleMaker, check the “Waltz?” checkbox in the Misc. Style Settings dialog.
Then the StyleMaker will record, and play patterns in 3/4 time. The “8 beat row” will record “6 beat” (2 bar
patterns), the “4 beat” will record 3 beat (1 bar) patterns. The “2 beat” and “1 beat” still record 2 and 1 beat
patterns. The new style is made as a waltz, and will play with a 3/4 lead in. There is no need to put a 3/4 time
signature change in bar 1.
Jazz Style?
This lets Band-in-a-Box know if the style you've made is a Jazz style or not. If it’s a Jazz style it will use the Jazz
Snare/Bass Drum instead of the Pop Snare/Bass Drum, and also makes some other decisions based on this setting.
Tempo
This allows you to set the default tempo for the Style. This is stored with the style. You can also change this tempo
by the tempo button on the StyleMaker main screen. Tempos can also be changed by the [ and ] keys. When
creating a new song the tempo will be set to the default tempo for the style/
Resolution
Styles can either have Triplet (swing eighth notes) Straight (even eighth or sixteenth notes) resolution.
Use Latin Drum Kit
Check to use a Latin drum kit in this style with instruments like maracas, cabasa, and agogo.
