When I tried to make some modifications I got very bad the result. I would like to do: 2bars empty ( as count-in ) 8bars Variation_A with last bar as FILL_IN_A 8bars Variation_A with last bar as FILL_IN_B 2bars Ending_A 2bars Ending_B 2 or 1 bars for Shots and Push. May I ask you to help in writing the correct .txt file for a wav with this scheme?

"16_bars_of_drumming_with_shots_two_endings.txt" Note that it has the A ending before the B section starts rather than at the end. The commented text at the bottom describes what the wave file should look like. http://dl01.pgmusic.com/support/patch/realdrums_stylemaking_templates.zip Andrew PG Music Inc.

It would of been good if you could include the SEQ templates as they can have markers in them to show what goes where, also a midi file template with markers can be loaded into any daw to give markers for the pattern when creating the drums. I know when I first tried the templates it was confusing because the info at the bottom of the text file did not use the 2 bar offset for bar numbers as the pattern does: ; bar# 1-2 - count-in for two bars pattern,Count-in,0,5,0,2,-1 ; 21-22 - two bar ending (usually the second bar ends on the downbeat, with a cymbal decaying) pattern,ending,Bending,5,0,2,19 ; 23 - single drum hit, which will be used for "shots" in Band-in-a-Box ; 24 - single drum hit, which will be used for "pushes" in Band-in-a-Box Shot,1,21,0,470,5,90 Shot,0,22,0,470,5,90 This would help make it easier for most users to get their head around it.
