*Bop
This busy jazzy style could easily be used in a small jazz combo, like pi-
ano, bass, drums and a solo instrument. A good choice when you
want to make your version of one of the many jazz standards out there.
So open up Real Book, hit the Run-button and play. MEB
1953 Paint
Sometimes there's no need for regular, rhythmic drum playing. If you
tell a drummer to "do something", he or she will probably get into
some sort of creative mood and start producing wonderful noises.
This is a style that emulates such a situation. SB
* Ominous
This style is a non-rhythmic sound-fx journey through different moods
and places, preferably unpleasant ones... Heartbeats, scary noises,
chimes and many more noises merge into a melting pot of suggestive
impressions. It ranges from the simple to the complex but in a non-lin-
ear fashion, beyond the boundaries of standard pattern playing. Still
the Fill, Sidestick and Half tempo functions will vary the contents. Also
try using the Random-function a lot. So, imagine where you will be,
and it will be so... NE
* Machinery
Factory hall? No it's not a reverberation algorithm this time. It's the
static rhythm of machines working together. Some are small and fast,
others are big and slow or vice versa, and they're added one by one
and speeding from a small scale industry into the final cacophony of
hammers and wheels. Move carefully and put your helmet on! NE
1954 Cha-Cha
Cha-Cha style is a sidestick based style that sounds best with the
