Use Tap in click to start: This option is used to control when the next song starts and allows you to control the
tempo of the song. See options below “Set Cue/Tap Options.”
Hide Song Name: This feature is used to play the “Guess the Song” game. When checked, the titles are hidden
until you click the title. When someone guesses the Song Title, you can click in the Title box to verify if he/she is
correct. You'll probably want to restrict the Jukebox to only songs with melodies unless you can guess songs
without melodies!
Random Play/Alphabetical: If set to “Random” the songs will be played in random order (without repeating
songs). If set to “Alphabetical” the songs will be played in alphabetical order from the Songs folder.
Change Harmony w/each song: If selected a harmony will be automatically selected for each song that plays in
the Jukebox. Use the “Harmony # range” settings to choose from a particular section of the Harmony list.
Generate Solos: Set this option to “On” to permit the Soloist to play a solo over all the songs selected for Jukebox
playback.
We have created a special Jukebox directory of songs that showcase the many Soloists available. Take a moment to
hear this showcase by following these steps:
1. Change to this directory by loading/opening a song from the Soloist DEMO folder, but instead of playing the
song you have loaded press the [Juke] button.
2. Ensure that the “Generate Solos” checkbox is set selected (checked). If you enable “Auto-Choose Soloists” the
program will select an appropriate Soloist for each Jukebox song. “Change Soloist w/each chorus” instructs the
program to choose different Soloists for each chorus of a song. For example, if Band-in-a-Box encounters a
three chorus Jazz tune during jukebox playback, the program might choose a Saxophone solo for the first
chorus, a Trumpet for the next, and a Guitar or Piano for the last chorus.
3. When you select [Play Juke Box] the Select Soloist dialog will pop up with a suggestion to use a Soloist for
the first song in the jukebox list. This is normal. Press [OK] to accept the Soloist suggestion. (The Jukebox
will not bother you with the Select Soloist dialog again; it will simply choose an appropriate Soloist for any
given song in the Jukebox song list.)
(Preview) Switch to next song after ____ Bars
Use this setting to preview the songs in a Jukebox list. Band-in-a-Box will play each song in the folder for the
number of bars you enter into the box. Use a setting of 99 bars to play one chorus of each song.
