MIDI Menu

MIDI/Base Level: Uses MIDI channels 13-16. If your sound card is Base Level compatible, it uses channels 13-15 for melodic instruments and channel 16 for percussion. The MIDI/Base Level setting uses Base Level-compatible versions of the MIDI files.

Note: In some of the more complex styles, additional instrument parts are provided using MIDI channels 11 and 12.

MIDI/Extended Level (General MIDI): uses MIDI channels 1-10. If your sound card is Extended Level-compatible, it uses channels 1-9 for melodic instruments and channel 10 for percussion. The Extended Level (General MIDI) setting uses Extended Level-compatible versions of the MIDI files.

Note: When the Power Series Style Collection Sampler is run for the first time, it performs a test which properly configures this option to insure that the MIDI files play correctly on your system. If this test is not able to configure your MIDI setup, it defaults to Extended Level (General MIDI).

Power Series Styles Collections

Each of the Style Collections represented in this Style Sampler are members of the Power Series Styles Collections from The Blue Ribbon SoundWorks.

The MIDI files for this Sampler were created using SuperJAM!™, although Power Series Styles work with all of Blue Ribbon's SCORE™ compatible products, such as Soundtrack Express™, Melody Maestro™, SuperJAM! and others.

Why the Power Series? The Power Series Collection makes your Blue Ribbon products even more versatile and powerful by giving you dozens of new musical possibilities. For example, you can add a little Hitchcock with the Movie Soundtrack Collection or push the limits of your creativity with the Cutting Edge Styles Collection. If you're a SuperJAM! user, you can even use the Power Series Styles Collections as the basis for your own original styles!

Available Collections: Each Collection contains ten new styles, plus style demonstrations and chord changes which can be used in your own compositions. We currently offer these fine collections:

- Classical Collection

- Cutting Edge Collection

- Dance Mix Collection

- Movie Soundtrack Collection

- Pop/Rock Collection

- World Music Collection

*To see the types of styles included with each collection, audition them with the Style Sampler!
