Styles Set #43: “Requested 3”

Styles for Band-in-a-Box®
Introduction and Overview
Thank you for purchasing Styles Set #43, with 20 great new “Requested 3” styles for Band-in-a-Box.

Note: As these styles use some of the newer Stylemaker features, you must have Band-in-a-Box Version 11.0 (or
higher) for some of these styles to work properly.

These 20 exciting new styles have been suggested by customers and visitors to the PG Music Styles Wish list
Forum. Here you will find funky syncopated rhythms in styles like Bop Funk, FunkWalk, HipTrip; straight up Pop styles
such as Cola, ClayJars, Firewind, Poorboy, Seaside, Woodstk 1, Bangra1; new Latin styles including Bachata, AfrCub68,
TangoPia, and lots more. Please see below for complete styles descriptions.

In addition, we’ve also included 2 new utility blank ‘styles’, BLANKSW.STY and BLANK3SW.STY. They are
similar to BLANK.STY and BLANK34.STY except that they will display a complete imported MIDI tune (F7) in triplet
(swing) resolution. The 2 previous BLANK styles automatically display even 8th resolution.

An easy way to explore the new styles is from the “select style” window (press the “STY” button). If you scroll to
the end of the categories list on the left, you can select the “Requested 3 - 43” category, then highlight the individual styles
and press the “Load song demo button.” It’s a good idea to un-check the “Auto-change Melody instrument” 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. The Demo tunes for these styles
follow the same naming convention as the styles themselves. For example, the DEMO song for AFRCUB68.STY is
AFRCUB68.MGU.

We invite you to visit the PG Music home page on the Web at www.pgmusic.com. There are lots of interesting
downloads, demos, streaming videos, magazine and customer reviews, including streaming audio-visual program
tutorials, radio interviews 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. So drop in and check it
out.

We hope you enjoy these “Requested 3” styles.

Have fun.
