- Accept the generic settings in the Drum Pattern Recorded dialog box.
You will see your new pattern on the Fills line as represented by a weight
number.
Let's use COPY/PASTE to simplify creating a new drum pattern.
- To make another fill, move to an existing fill.
- Choose the [COPY] button to copy that drum fill to the clipboard.
- Move to an empty pattern.
- Choose the [PASTE] button to paste in the previous drum fill.
- Now press [REC] to launch the Drum Pattern Entry screen and step edit
the drum fill. You will only need to change a few notes of the fill to make a
variation of the one you have copied.
Save the style by pressing the [SAVE] button. Save allows you to rename the
style so you don't affect the original ZZLITROK.STY.
Change the Patches that are assigned to the Style.
Each style can have patches assigned to it. For example if you want the style's
Piano part to use a Rhodes piano, you can select the piano patch of 5, which is
the General MIDI number for the Rhodes Electric Piano.
- Press the PATCH button.
- This displays the Misc. Style Settings dialog box.
- Select the [Set Patches...] button.
- You will then see a dialog box allowing you to type in patches you would
like for the style. If you don't need a specific patch, use 0 for no change of
patch number.
Let's add Strings to the Style.
There are 2 ways to do this.
1. You could move to the strings part (by clicking on the strings button) and
then record the strings patterns.
- or -
2. The easiest way is to import strings from another style that already has
strings. This allows you to use existing string patterns. For example the
Miami Pop style has a nice strings part.
Let's import the “Miami Pop” strings into our style.
- Choose the [LOAD] button.
- Select the ZZMIAMI.STY style from the file dialog.
- Select the [Strings] button to display the String patterns for this style.
- Select an 8-beat String pattern to copy and press the [COPY] button.
- Choose the [LOAD] button.
