extra notes, vibrato, and other effects. Now you can have Band-in-a-Box do these automatically using the
Embellisher.
If you enable the Embellisher, any Melody will be embellished as it is played so that you hear a
livelier and more realistic Melody - and it's different every time.
The Embellisher button opens the Melody Embellisher dialog with many user options to control
the embellishment settings. The Embellisher Presets allow you to choose a combination of
common settings for the Embellisher quickly.
The Embellisher Memo describes the current
embellishment, with statistics counting the number of
embellished notes.
You can save/load your own presets for the Embellisher.
When you have made a custom setting in the Embellisher dialog, press the Export button to save
the data as an .EMB file.
When you want to recall the saved preset, press the Import button, and load in a previously made .EMB file. You
can share your favorite presets with other installations of Band-in-a-Box using the EMB files.
