Topic: Changing 4-bar intro into 2-bar intro

[Fred Smith]

I have a 4-bar intro, but I want only the first 2 bars. How do I delete the last 2 bars of an intro in a style?

Thanks,
Fred

Hi Fred
Just set the Pattern Length to 2 in Style Creator and the Intro will only take two bars.
Watch a few seconds of this video.

Thanks. I tried this, but I didn’t get what I wanted. One of the channels has no events in the first two bars, so the execute left in bars 3/4. How do I get only the first two bars of all channels, and nothing if the channel was blank fir those bars?

When you shorten Intro's you will only get what you hear in those two first bars. It dose not matter what event is in them you will still only hear two bars when you resave the style and then play it.

Fred what is the style and intro you are trying to alter?

Then post a link here to the style after you have cut it down to 2 mearsures and we can see what you need to do to get it correct.

Thanks, Drake. You solved my problem.

I was listening to the revised intro in the Style Creator, which wasn't playing it properly.

As soon as I saved the revised style (so I could post it for you), it now plays as it should.

Live and learn,
