Hi Noel,

Well I'm back again with a new set of problems. Sorry I had to re-open this thread.
Wouldn't you know it? smile

I learned the method you suggested for getting the bass to play 1a and then walk for 1b.

Next my mission was to get a better style. I was using _JAZVIBE but the vibes weren't holding long chords, so I switched to _SMALLHR.. Not ideal, but better than _JAZVIBE.
BUT... the drums with this style were sticks and I needed brushes.

So I started to substitute the drum track with another one.
I tried a bunch, many were too busy. I finally found a decent one, but what a shock when it loaded!
The drums took up 14 tracks!!! I kid you not. Never saw that before. All I wanted/needed were simple brushes on the snare drum. Anyway it sounded decent, for the most part. It did try to show off for a few bars but on the whole it kept fairly unobtrusive.

So first I tried to simply play the song, but of course the new drums weren't there yet.
So I re-generated. The drums were there but the walking bass was gone.

OK. No sweat. I kept my notes on how to get 1a and then a walking bass on 1b (your method).
Slight problem. When I selected the bass part for the 1b section and then hit Ctrl-F8, there was NO WALKING BASS. frown
Bummer. Is it possible that the bass track that comes with _SMALLHR. has no walking bass for the 1b section?

If so I am going to have to come up with a Frankenstein style _SMALLHR.
Use the Vibes from _SMALLHR, bring in the brushes from another patch and bring in a decent bass from yet another patch/style.

Is there another way to do this?
Recapping the vibes are decent now, drums ok, but the bass isn't walking in 1b.

One more thing just to muddy the water some more.
I just went back to my _JAZVIBE style song that has all OK except for the choppy Vibe part.
So I thought of replacing the Vibe track with the Vibe track from _SMALLHR.
Wouldn't you know they BOTH use the same vibes: 1217: Vibes, Rhythm Jazz Sw 110.
Go figure!
