You may also select an instrument from the “Patch Change” window, but selecting an instrument with the [Choose]
button also fills in the specific note range for that instrument.
If you wish to have a harmonized solo, select the
harmony type by clicking on the Harmony box
and choosing from the drop-down list.
“Change Instrument” allows you to quickly set how
the Soloing will “take turns” with other instruments. Use this option to change instruments every chorus, every 4, 8,
16 bars, etc. Press the [Set..] button to choose the instruments you would like to change to, including the appropriate
note rang for each instrument.
The Sub-Soloist checkboxes are for use ONLY with add-on hybrid soloists such as the ones found on the
SOLOISTPAK for Band-in-a-Box. These checkboxes can be used to “sub” a different instrument and playing style
in a Soloist which contains more than one playing style, such as BG_BAND.ST2 found on Soloist Disk Set #5. For
more information on additional Soloist Disk Sets and the additional features available with them, contact PG Music.
To Modify (if required) the “Phrase Length,” “Space Length,” and “Outside Range” parameters, simply click in the
box you wish to change and type-in the new number.
For example, change the “Legato Boost %” to 10 %. This will add 10% to the duration of the notes.
Adjust the lateness by -5 to have the Soloist play the notes more “on the beat” than other Jazz soloists.
Adjust the 8
th
Note spacing by -5 to have your Soloist play 8
th
notes in a more even feel than other Jazz soloists.
