It also matters in how the program selects riffs and phrases from whatever RealTracks are used. That does matter to me.

Here is a comment Peter Gannon made some time ago in response to a similar question I asked:
Quote:
> For example, anyone have any idea how a BLANK ev8 style would differ from a BLANK ev16 style?

There are lots of places in BIAB that make use of this. For examples:
1. If you have a ev16 style loaded and want to switch to a Ev8 style, BiaB will prompt you (by a green flash message) asking you if you want to expand the chords and melody ;and double the tempo)
2. When finding best soloists, RT, chord substitutions, it will match a 16th based soloist to a 16th based style.

For Ev8, Ev16, &Sw16 vs Sw8 the same thing applies, with the addition that the notation window in Sw8 (not sw16) displays using triplets (simplifying to 8th notes for two eight notes as in jazz)


Hi Jim
Great answer. Thank you so much. It explains a lot.
Like many I don't read or write music so I wouldn't have seen the notation thing.
But as I suspected a Blank isn't just 'empty', there is this 'motor' running within it to make it Ev16, Sw8 or whatever Blank concept you've chosen.
