Chapter 4: MIDI File to Style Wizard

Delete existing patterns (when adding to the style). (DEFAULT = NO)

If this option is set when you create style patterns to add to an existing style, the

entire instrument will first be erased in the style for any instrument used in the

new style. When you generate a style by adding to an existing style, the

StyleMaker is then opened up, allowing you to pick a new name for the style (so

you don't overwrite the existing style).

# of Columns to leave unused in the style. (DEFAULT = 0)

If set to zero (the default), the Style Wizard can create the biggest style possible

– filling up the rows completely with patterns. But if you set this to a non-zero

value it will limit the # of patterns that can be made. Since there are 30 rows in

the StyleMaker, you can set this setting from 0 to 29.

The Style Wizard won't insert patterns unless they are unique compared to the

ones already entered. But (with this setting at the default of 8), after 8

duplicates of the same pattern, a 2

pattern will get entered that is a duplicate of

another pattern. Setting this to zero would mean that every pattern would get

entered (regardless of whether it was unique); setting it to a high number like

200 would mean that only truly unique patterns are entered. To maintain the

correct balance in the style, since the maximum weight of a pattern in the

StyleMaker is 8, this setting should be left at 8 in most situations. If your style

is “filling up” all of the available columns, then set this to a higher number.
