How to Mix Music Style
There is a music genre called fusion that unites jazz with rock music. There is no wonder that if different music genres are fused together, you will be able to create an unprecedented tune. ACS makes it possible for you to create a tune by mixing different music styles. ACS selects either parameter of two styles at random and creates one style.  If you compose by this method, you will get a good tune having characteristics of both styles or sometimes a strange tune.
