Let's edit the Light Rock Style, which is called ZZLITROK.STY.
1. To select a style for editing from the main screen:
Mouse click over top of the style on the Title window. This area on the main
screen indicates the style that is currently in memory. If you want to edit the
current style, (in this example it is ZZLITROK.STY) then choose either User |
Edit Existing User Style or press Option + Y.
If you want to edit a different style then load a different style from the
StylePicker, or by selecting the Load Style From Disk… option on the User
menu, or press
+u, or select a style from either the Style menu or the STY
menu.
2. The StyleMaker window is then opened and you will see the display of the
style prepared for editing.
The StyleMaker shows you patterns that have been recorded for Drums and Bass
constantly. If you would like to see the patterns recorded for Piano, Guitar, or
Strings, then select the appropriate instrument button to view them.
The currently selected instrument for Piano/Bass/Strings is
indicated by the highlighted instrument button. In the diagram,
you'll notice that the Piano is the current instrument. Clicking
the mouse on a different instrument button will change the
instruments.
The StyleMaker begins by displaying the Drums and Bass. Let's have a closer
look at the Drums.
The ZZLITROK.STY Drums screen will look similar to this:
You will notice that there are 4 rows of drum patterns:
A Pattern is the row to record drum patterns for the “a” substyle.
