Chapter 9: StyleMaker Enhancements
Larger style limit.
The Previous limit was 40K for styles. This is now 65K,
allowing for bigger styles. The larger style limit can only be loaded in by BB
version 9. If you are designing styles for older versions of BB, you should keep
the size to 40K.
There is a new command to
"Copy all 'a' substyle patterns to 'b' slots."
This
feature is handy when only a volume increase tweaking is required for the 'b'
substyle. You can access this from the Style menu in the StyleMaker, with
"Copy all 'a' patterns to ''b' substyle.
The item to
Delete all patterns in this row
option is added on the Style menu in
the StyleMaker.
The
Pattern trim
routine deletes notes past the end of a pattern, or (optionally)
a specified distance from the end of a pattern. This can be accessed from the
Pattern – trim Pattern command.
In the dialog displayed, we are trimming 50 ticks from an 8 beat pattern. This
means that all of the information past 8 beats (less 50 ticks) will be deleted. This
feature is useful to erase "busy playing" that is present near the end of a pattern,
and also delete notes that are just taking up space in the style.
