Hybrid Styles Dialog
There’s a "Hybrid Styles" feature that allows you to play and create a MIDI style that has instruments from up to five different styles! You can, for example, play a song with a Reggae bass, Rock drums, Salsa piano, or any combination of up to five styles that you want. Create a name for your hybrid style and you can save it with the song so that it will play that way in the future.

Note: You can add MIDITracks individually (from any style) to play on any track of your current song. This is done from the right-click context menu for any track, or by clicking on the [MIDITracks] toolbar button.

To use the Hybrid styles feature, choose File | StyleMaker | Make a Hybrid style.

You’ll then see the Make a Hybrid style dialog.


Your hybrid style can be up to five instruments, each from a different style. For example, you can have a Latin drum part, with a Zydeco bass, and Jazz guitar part, and strings from a Classical style!

Select the instrument (e.g. Bass), and then select the source style to use for this instrument part in the new hybrid style by pressing the [.STY] button. Repeat the process for up to five instruments.

When you’re ready to generate the Style, press [OK- (Re) Generate style with nameà], and choose a name for your style. Remember that style names in Band-in-a-Box can be a maximum of eight characters, with no spaces! (This is to ensure compatibility with Mac and previous versions of Band-in-a-Box.)

Then the dialog exits and you are ready to hear your new style! Press Play in Band-in-a-Box and you can hear the results. If you want to make changes, revisit the Hybrid dialog, and make any changes.

Editing a Hybrid Style

You can edit a hybrid style just like any other style. Open the StyleMaker to view the patterns.
