The Style Track Properties Window contains the following standard tabs:
In addition, the window has the following Seed Variations tab.
This tab is used to control the selection of variations each time the segment is played within DirectMusic Producer. The seed is an arbitrary number used to initialize a random number generator, ensuring that the same sequence of random numbers is generated each time. Fixing the sequence of random numbers causes the playback of the styles in the style track to be the same every time the segment is played.
The tab contains the following settings:
Select this check box to enable seeding of the random number generator. If Enable is not selected, the random number generator is seeded by the system clock, and variations are played in a different order each time the segment is played.
Click this button to generate a new seed and hence a new fixed order of variations.
Click this button to enter a known seed that produces an order of variations you want to hear.
If you discover a seed value that produces an order of variations you would like duplicated in an application, you can deliver the seed number to the application developer for use in DirectMusic playback. For more information, see the GUID_SeedVariations topic in the DirectX SDK documentation.
