Thank you for purchasing Styles Set #54, with 21 great new “Mainstream Jazz” styles for Band-in-a-Box.
This styles set features Mainstream Jazz styles from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Many of these styles were inspired
by requests and suggestions posted in the Styles Wish List forum on our web page at www.pgmusic.com. Many are based
on Jazz feels that have become very popular and widely used. You’ll find styles with rhythm feels like 4/4 Swing Jazz
styles, Ballads, Jazz waltzes, even 8 th feel Jazz, Jazz Funk, styles with different feels in the “a” and “b” sections, Funk Jazz
and Bossas - styles with names like BossaSw, BrubkBal, Darin1, Deodat1, Duke1, JzClypso, ModJazQt, Ramsey1,
TradDixi, Horace1, Herbie2, and many more. A few of the styles are designed for big band vocal accompaniment.
Please note that effects like reverb, chorus and panning are not embedded in a style. These settings should be set and saved
with the tune from the main song page and we encourage you to do so – especially for Pop, Rock and Country genres.
Guitars, strings, electric pianos, electric basses, and drums can be greatly enhanced with these effects. Remember to save
your tune with these settings (COMMAND+S).
The demo tunes for these styles follow the same naming convention as the styles themselves. For example, the DEMO
song for JZCLYPSO.STY is JZCLYPSO.MGU.
One of the easiest ways to explore the new styles is from the “Open Song” window which you can access by pressing the
[Song] button. Check out the style by loading the song demo from the #54 Style Demo folder. You can load in each
successive song in the folder using the SHIFT+F8 keys. It’s a good idea to uncheck the “Auto Change MEL/SOL” so that
you’ll hear the correct demo melody instrument. You can also sort the styles by Styles Set number if you like. More
detailed information about each style is available by pressing the [Memo] button of the demo tune.
At our PG Music home page, www.pgmusic.com, you’ll find lots of interesting downloads, demos, streaming
videos, magazine and customer reviews, including streaming audio-visual program tutorials, and more. Review your
favorite products or stop by the Styles Wish List page, where you can request specific styles or leave feedback and
suggestions - that’s how we stay in touch with you. For example, if you would like even more of these Mainstream Jazz
styles, that’s the place to let us know. So drop in and check it out.
