Hi,
I have ver 10.5. I was looking at the video for 2016 version. On something like a Beatle song...Day Tripper...will the new style picker have style suggestions for a song like this or is it more for jazz standards?

Thanks

I entered the song name and it had two suggestions. Not sure if they are perfect fits, but there were suggestions though:

Gary,

The new Stylepicker has heaps of song in many genres (not just jazz). I also suspect that as time goes on, more and more songs will be added to the already very extensive list.

Why not give us the names of a few more songs that you'd use the Stylepicker for if you have version 2016 and I (or someone else) will post the results for you as an image - just as Trevor has above.

Regards,
Noel

Thanks for the input!

How about something like "No Reply" by the beatles or even "Satisfaction" by the stones.

Is tbere a means by which a song that is a good or even perfect fit to a song (or should that he vice versa?) can ve advised to and added by PG?
Or even, come to think if it, added to our own BIAB database for future ref?

Ian,

I imagine that PG Music would certainly be able to update the database used by Stylepicker.

What a great idea of yours to have it interactive, though. If a separate user-created database of styles and songs were created so that we can make our own lists, it would be very valuable. You should add this to the wishlist.

Regards,
Noel

P.S. How's your son going in Sydney?

Hi Ian

Yes, great idea.
Maybe one for the Wishlist?

Yes, I already came up a with a few songs, and when I tried they weren't in the list. I subsequently found styles that worked really well. If they could be added to my list that would be great. If they could be added to a global list that PGM could take advantage of for subsequent releases/patches, then that would be much better again.
