- Select the ZZLITROK.STY style.

- Press the OPEN button to open this style.

- Choose an empty 8-beat “b” String pattern (because that is where the String

pattern was recorded in) and press the [PASTE] button.

- Press the [SAVE] button to save the Lite Rock style with Strings.

The strings will play in the “b” substyle only, because that's how they were

made in the Miami Pop style.

You could now import the Guitar from the ZZCONTRY.STY for example,

using the steps above. It is quite easy to quickly add instruments to styles by

importing instruments from other styles.

Let's Record some new bass patterns.

Note: If you are not able to play patterns in real time (“live”), then you shouldn't record

these Bass, Piano, Guitar, or Strings patterns. You cannot enter them in step time. Only

Drum patterns may be entered in step time. If you can't enter them in real time, import an

instrument from existing styles as described above.

Recording a Bass Pattern

Move the highlighted cell to an unused Bass pattern. If you're recording a

pattern lasting 8 beats, record this on the top line “A 8 beat.” This pattern will

be used when the song has chords lasting 8 beats or more without a chord

change.

Press the [REC] button to record the bass pattern. You will need to wait during

a 2 bar lead-in. Then you record the 2 bar pattern.

Play the pattern on a C7 chord. You can use all 12 notes; just play a pattern that

you would have normally played in the song if the song were on a C7 chord (C

E G Bb). When you're finished recording the pattern, you'll see a dialog box

listing all of the options available. Just accept all of the defaults by pressing the

[OK] button.

Press the [SAVE] button to save your new style.

Press the [EXIT] button to close the StyleMaker window and exit. Make sure

that you have saved the style first, otherwise edits will be lost.
