I am not new to step sequencing and I am a pro-level musician, but I have a bunch of songs I need to get done, even if they'll be just bare bones arrangements. So once again, thanks in advance for help. Seems to be a nice community on this forum.

Select the bar that you wish to change styles on, press function key <F5>, then select a new style at that bar. You can change back again at another bar, and you can change styles only on certain choruses, etc. HTH Attached Files (Click to download or enlarge) (Only available when you are logged in) 2019-11-27_10-24-45.jpg (112.37 KB, 129 downloads) BIAB & RB2025 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones

Others may know more.

Check the Help Menu for Multi Styles. Multi Styles can have up to 24 substyles. EXAMPLE: _Cronga+.STY is a RealTracks Multi Style from XTRAPAK 5. Last edited by Charlie Fogle; 12/05/19 03:39 PM.
