For example, if you want a style with 4 parts, 'a', 'b', 'c' and 'd' called MyRock (on disk as MyRock+.STY) the four parts need to exist as precreated styles. STY file all the pairs of substyles must already exist as independant. To make a MultiStyle stored to disk as a. For example, if you have 10 favorite Country styles, you can quickly make a single MultiStyle that has 20 substyles available within the same song. You can listen to mp3 demos of the "Mix and Match" styles here MultiStyles īand-in-a-Box MultiStyles are styles that can have up to 24 substyles original Band-in-a-Box styles had two substyles, “a” and “b.” Band-in-a-Box MultiStyles typically have four substyles, but may have up to twenty-four, selected by using part markers “a” through “x.” You can easily make your own MultiStyles, either from scratch, or combining parts from existing styles to make a MultiStyle. A couple of years later PG Music joined in and created Multi-Styles. Norton Music invented "Mix and Match" styles to enable the user to have 4 substyles (A, B, C and D). Note that adding a part marker will automatically generate a drum fill in the preceding bar, so selecting the same substyle as that already in effect will insert a fill without changing substyles. The 'b' part is usually somewhat 'busier' and may have changes such as the addition of a ride cymbal. The 'a' substyle is usually used for chorus parts and the 'b' substyle is usually used for bridges. Clicking a bar number will select in sequence the blue 'a' part, the green 'b' part and finally return to no substyle. On the chord sheet these substyles are indicated by the part markers for the 'a' part (blue) and 'b' part (green). These are defined in the style file (*.sty). Another method is to import a style from a MIDI file, Finally, a user can create a style using the StyleMaker.īand in a Box styles usually consist of two substyles. The simplest method is to create a hybrid style. Users can create their own styles in Band in a Box. I picked the # sign because it looks like the music sharp. He said that he would not write any styles with the same letter or symbol and that way our styles won't over-write each other. Back in 1992 Peter Gannon asked me to pick a letter or symbol to start my styles with. If the prefix of the style is the # symbol, it is a Norton Music Style. For example, MyStyle+.STY would be a MultiStyle. The naming convention for MultiStyles is to use a + sign at the end of the style name. The - (hyphen) prefix was used for styles that have RealDrums embedded while the rest of the tracks are MIDI. We use the = (equal sign) prefix for styles that have some MIDI parts, but at least one RealTracks instrument. There is a category in the StylePicker that contains only RealStyles, so you can browse through styles without ever hearing MIDI. The convention we've been using is to use an underscore prefix for these styles. STY files that you choose from the StylePicker) that are composed entirely of RealTracks instruments and have no MIDI parts. We use the term RealStyles to describe Styles (That is. LS3 files that are in the \bb folder (in alphabetical order), and append them to the StylePicker list. Third party added styles are also stored in. LS3 files using the StylePicker editor, using the Save As and Open buttons. This is a text file, but it is better to edit it using the StylePicker editor. Information about styles you make yourself is stored in a file called A_USER.LS3. LS3 files to add information to the style picker. Users can enter styles into the favorites category to make it easier to find them.
In addition there is an examples box listing artists and songs the selected style would work with. Many styles have notes in the memo box regarding the content of the styles. The Style Picker is organised into categories and styles within the selected category. BiaB includes a style picker dialog to help organize all these files into catagories.
