Styles Set #40: “Rhythm & Blues”

Styles for Band-in-a-Box®
Introduction and Overview
Thank you for purchasing Styles Set #40 with 22 great new “Rhythm & Blues” 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.

This set includes 22 great new R&B styles for Band-in-a-Box. These styles feature punchy bass lines, poppin’ drums, live
MIDI guitar patterns, in-the-pocket keyboards and tight, funky horns. Cover all the well known R&B and Soul grooves
with Styles Set 40 Rhythm & Blues. Includes: RB_AGREN, RB_ARETH, RB_MARVN, RB_OTIS, RB_RUFUS,
RB_WONDR, and many more.

Thank you for your many excellent suggestions for Rock and Rhythm & Blues Styles as posted in the Styles wishlist
forum.

Keep in mind that it’s easy to make your own styles for Band-in-a-Box as any style can be modified, altered and saved
with the StyleMaker. If you’re interested in editing or tweaking Styles or even making them from scratch, be sure to check
out the “Secrets of the StyleMaker” Audio-Visual CD.

One of the easiest ways to explore the new styles is from the “select style” window (press the “STY” button). If you scroll
to near the end of the categories list on the left, you can select the “Rhythm & Blues 40” 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
RB_OTIS.STY is RB_OTIS.MGU.

By all means visit the PG Music home page on the Web at www.pgmusic.com. There are lots of interesting downloads,
demos, 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 “Rhythm & Blues” styles.

Have fun.
