Chapter 3: QuickStart Tutorial20
Let's check out Styles Set #27 … Jazz, Pop n’ More!
Note:

If you ordered Band-in-a-Box 11 as an upgrade, the package includes Styles Set
#27. (This is not one of the styles disks that is included in the first time purchase
unless you order the MEGAPAK.)

If you have the first time version of Band-in-a-Box and don't have a \bb\styles27
directory, instead use the \BB\SOLODEMO directory of BB for this example.
This new mixture of over 20 styles is comprised of customer suggestions
from the PG Music Band-in-a-Box styles wish list. Many of the styles
utilize the new Band-in-a-Box’s features for authentic, realistic
accompaniment to your compositions. Looking for Straight 8
th
ballad, Fast
¾ or Easy 2-beat styles? You’ll find them here. Also included: Medium
straight 8ths, New Pop 16ths, Soft Pop-Folk 16ths, Basic Pop-Rock, Top
40 16ths and many more great sounding styles you have been wishing for.
Many of the styles on this disk are “intelligent guitar styles.” These are
identified by the exclamation point (!) in the name of the style (e.g.
!FREDDIE.STY). When you listen to the styles that are guitar styles,
remember that you can watch the guitar part on the guitar fretboard as the
voicings will actually be correct for guitar.
To try out the new styles from Styles Set #27, press the [Open] button and load
in a song (e.g., from c:\bb\styles27). Once you have a song loaded in, you can
simply press the [Song] button to see a full list of the songs.
Press the [Juke] button to hear all of the styles demonstrated one after another
in jukebox playback. You can choose to hear them play in random order or in
the listed order with the Random Order Playback selection box.
This is the end of the tutorial.
