hello again...

I found this Style...(LA_Top 40 Country Ballad)...which was perfect for a new Song I'm working on. Trouble is...the 'Acoustic Guitar' in that Style was right on the money...on the first pass (pattern)...but like an idiot, I hit the Stop button & then the Play button (as opposed to the Pause/Play buttons); & the app regenerated the next incarnation of that style...(which wasn't as good for my tune).

Question 1: How do I reprogram my .SGU file of that Song to get back to the very first playing pattern of that Style (or any Style, for that matter) ???

[also...is hitting the Pause & Play button the correct method for keeping the existing pattern of the selected style ???]. (sometimes we want to ramp thru & see what the next, then next pass sounds like...but are not always happy w/ what we get).

Question 2: I want to take that very 1st pattern on the Acoustic Guitar of that Style (& maybe the Bass)...& start to build a custom Style around it. I'd like to then bring in the Piano, Drums (& other instruments) from other Styles into the newly created custom Style. But 'Stylemaker' is throwing me for a loop; & I'm not sure how this would be accomplished. I looked thru the help files for stylemaker but I guess I'm just drawing a blank. I opened that style in stylemaker, selected 'Guitar', saw that the first Pattern (top, left) was green...hit 'Save As'; & created the new custom Style. But I'm not sure how to add any of the Bass patterns from that Style to my new Style...or how to add patterns from other Styles to it.

any expertise would be appreciated for the above questions.

thanks,
