I'd like to create styles and save them so they open with my plugins in place.I see some of the new styles open with the sforzando plugin saved in the style. Also noticed when I save my style it doesn't save the realtracks with my custom style.. Last edited by guitarbo; 02/11/23 11:09 AM.

OP guitarbo Enthusiast G Joined: Feb 2020 Posts: 35	Well i found how to save my customized style on mac. It's done in the style picker.. bottom left save as... Now my next question is how can I see it in the style picker? I can open from disk but then if I change some things I want to save it's not represented in the style picker to save... Because the style pick don't see the style for some reason.. I did the slow rebuild but it just doesn't pick up my custom style.

In the mac version you can edit the style and then go back into the style picker and click the custom button the save style. It save the style and retains the realtracks but it does not save the plugin info. not even the built in sforzando. I see some of the new styles do open with sforzando as default instruments. I'm gonna post that to the beta test forum and hopefully get everything up to speed..

You can still load in user styles by using Command+U. This is just a standard file-open dialog. Quote: Can a style I create be saved with my VST choices?
