Different BGM for different battles?

Is it possible to swap the standard fight music for some other music, but only in some battles? i want to keep the standard music for normal fights but have special music for varioues bosses (such as Boss4 for my vampire and so on)... theres even BGM's called Boss # and so on, so i would assume they can be used in battles without having to use them in all battles? thanks :)

Awesome Bro

I suppose you could make a common event with a conditional branch like this;

If Variable [XXX - Boss Battle BGM] == 1
Change Battle BGM = [Insert new Battle BGM]

Else
Change Battle BGM = [Normal Battle BGM]

Then, just before the boss battle starts, in the event, do a "Control Variable" and change the Boss Battle BGM variable to 1, and back to anything else after the battle has ended.

Hope that helped.
 
damn :( doesnt seem to be working for me... could be the way ive set it though... i cant print screen for some reason (button doesnt work or something), so itll have to be a transcription...

New Event
page 1
@>Conditional Branch: Switch [0063: Heinrich Boss Battle] == ON
@>Change Battle BGM: '008-Boss04', 80, 90
@>
: Else
@>
: Branch End
@>

and i have the boss set with the [0063: Heinrich Boss Battle] control switch dircetly before the battle processing... but for some reason it doesnt change the music...

Hmm, well if that doesn't work (Not sure why o.O),

On your event with the boss battle, just change it to the boss battle BGM (In the Event Command box there's one; Change Battle BGM...) and then change it back to normal after, although that what I said should have done it o.O
