Allow Volume Changes with Style (Usually = No)
Usually you don't want specific volume changes in a style. But if you decide to change the volume of instruments,
you can do it by setting this to YES and then entering the Volumes you want in the settings below. (A better way to
change the volume of a part is to use Pattern | Volume Adjust (Alt+W) to set the volume of each pattern
individually.)
‘Riff’ voicing type uses chord tones
This is an option for piano, guitar, and string patterns. If selected, voicing modifies to match the chord and scale.
Deselect for a simple transpose ignoring chord type.
More Settings (for Rests, Pushes, RealTracks)
Press the [More..] button for the More Settings (for Rests, Pushes, RealTracks) dialog.
Since rests can be “shots” that play a chord on beat 1, the style can define what instrument to use for this, and at
what volume.
Similarly, each push is accompanied by a drum stab, and the style can define what instrument to use and at what
volume.
The Lowest Bass Note setting defaults to the low E on the bass guitar or acoustic bass. It can be changed to match
the range of other bass instruments, such as a tuba, or to extend the range of the bass for keyboards or 5-string and 6-
string basses.
Assign Soloist (MIDI) or RealTracks (audio) to style
Styles can contain RealTracks and RealDrums or MIDI soloists.
To assign RealTracks to a style set the “Instrument” to use, and the RealTracks #. In the following example, we are
using RealGuitar for the Guitar track.
