Lesson 11: Testing Style Playback

The organization of the style you created in the previous lesson is shown in the Style Designer window, which you can view by double-clicking the icon for the internal name of the style. The following figure shows the style in the complete DemoStyle.stp file provided with the QuickStart project.

DemoStyle in Style Editor

The window shows the list of patterns with their length and various other properties. The Ending pattern has an "E" in the Embellishment column, indicating that it is an end embellishment. You can turn any pattern into an embellishment by selecting the appropriate button in its Properties window. Standard embellishments are intro, fill, break, and end.

You can now play the predesigned DemoMIDI style to hear its individual patterns and variations.
