Snap-to-Grid

Selections, Inserted Notes, or Edited Notes will snap to the grid spacing. If you do not

want snap-to-grid, select [NONE] in the drop-down menu.

View/Insert Channel

If a track contains multiple channels, “All” will display MIDI events on all channels. Otherwise,

select the Channel which you need to see. If “All” is selected, new MIDI events are inserted on

the Band-in-a-Box track's assigned channel.

Except for perhaps multi-channel Guitar tracks, Band-in-a-Box plays all track events on the

assigned track channel. Therefore, in almost all cases, the channel of track events does not

matter.

For instance, if the Melody track is set to transmit on channel 4, all events on the Melody track

will be sent on channel 4 regardless of the “actual channel” of each track event.

Note Duration

Set the default duration of new inserted notes. It is easy to mouse-edit a note's

duration after a note is inserted, so it is usually sufficient to select a typical note

duration that makes sense for your purposes and then mouse-edit the duration of

“exception” notes after they are inserted.

View/Edit Graphic Data

Determine what graphic data to view or edit in the bottom Graphic Data panel.

Choose Velocity, Controller, Program Change, Channel Aftertouch, and Pitch

Bend. If Chan is not set to “All,” only the selected channel events will be

displayed.
