Chapter 5: Guided Tour of Band-in-a-Box
47
You can make tracks Frozen by pressing the Freeze button (snowflake) on the toolbar,
and then choosing which tracks that you want to freeze or unfreeze.
Add a Melody
Band-in-a-Box is much more than an arranger and accompanist. You can also record
your live MIDI performance to the Melody track, enter a
Melody in the Notation note-by-note, or use the Wizard to
record from your computer keyboard.
Enable the Embellisher, and the Melody will be embellished as it is played.
You’ll hear a livelier, more realistic Melody - and it's different every time.
The Embellisher is only active while the music is playing; it doesn't permanently affect
the Melody track.
Harmonize the Melody
The Select Melody Harmony dialog box allows you to choose from any of the pre-
defined harmonies and even allows you to define your own.
Press the [M] button next to the piano keyboard to add a harmony to the Melody track.
This dialog also opens with the Harmony | Melody Harmony menu item.
This button opens the Harmony Maker, where you can customize
Harmonists.
This button is to turn off any notes that are stuck on. (There
shouldn’t be any.)
