Find a RealTracks Replacement for current MIDI style
This will find the best RealTracks replacement for your current MIDI style and ask if you want to use it.
Restore Style Prior to Style Alias reverts to the original MIDI style after you have used a RealTracks replacement.
It also turns off the style alias feature for the song.
Auto-Replace MIDI styles with RealTracks styles when songs loaded.
If you have made a lot of songs using older MIDI styles, and would prefer that they play with RealTracks, you can
now do this easily by selecting the menu option Styles | Auto-Replace MIDI styles with RealTracks styles when
songs loaded. Then, if you have the needed RealTracks installed, your MIDI style will be intelligently replaced with
a RealTracks style. There is also a manual option to do this on as-needed basis, disable the feature for a certain
song, or to reverse it if you prefer the MIDI style.
Suggest RealTracks style replacements when songs are loaded
This feature is the manual option for Auto-Replace MIDI styles. It will suggest RealTracks style replacements, but
doesn’t automatically load them. That is done manually from the RealTracks toolbar button menu. It is disabled
when ‘Auto-Replace” is checked.
Choose from 24 “Built-in” Styles
Use this list as a convenient way to make a quick pick from the list of 24 original Band-in-a-Box styles. Once you
load a style, the song will be played back using your chosen style and you can change the style any time.

offers to nuke the drum kit and MIDI Driver choice, making the return to factory settings complete.
If you choose MOST settings,
the patch map and drum kit
will be left intact, and not
reset.
If you choose ALL settings, all
settings will be reset to
factory.
