Chapter 1: Introduction This documentation covers the new features in Band-in-a-Box Version 12. 9 Chapter 2 is a summary of the new features. 9 Chapter 3 is a Quick-Start Tutorial. 9 Chapters 4-12 and Appendix A describe the new features in detail. The latest version of Band-in-a-Box adds 50 more features. First off, you'll get the amazing new “MIDI-file to Style Wizard,” that automatically converts a MIDI file (.MID) to a Band-in-a-Box Style (*.STY).
patterns and more. Many of these styles and new demo songs are included with your Band-in-a-Box version 12 upgrade. There are many new options for song navigation during playback, including a new “One-More-Time” feature that allows fine control over the song looping during live performance. For example, as the song is playing you can get it to endlessly loop the last or middle choruses with a simple hot key. Now you can control when the song ends.
Chapter 2: Summary of New Features The New Features in Band-in-a-Box Version 12... MIDI File to Style Wizard This automatically converts a MIDI file (.MID) to a Band-in-a-Box Style (.STY). Simply open a MIDI file, select your options, and press “Save-As Style.
Harmonies can now be displayed on the leadsheet window (or printed) with separate notation tracks for each harmony voice. View each harmony on a separate track or view/print a single harmony voice! Print harmony charts for your band or use for sight reading practice – to read and play any harmony voice along with the melody that you're hearing. Guitar Window enhancements We've enhanced the Guitar Window by adding fret display support for other instruments including mandolin, ukulele, and banjo.
(press the right mouse button) and you'll see a menu of items available giving faster access to common editing commands. Styles Improved All of the styles are enhanced! We've improved/updated EVERY Band-in-aBox style that we’ve made with the newest StyleMaker features including guitar and other fretted instrument voicings, consistent volume levels, edited patterns, and more. Many of these styles and new demo songs are included with your Band-in-a-Box version 12 upgrade.
Other Handy New Features include: Visual Metronome during the whole song. Change styles at any bar using the convenient StylePicker window. Bass player plays better “5ths” over some Jazz chords. Band-in-a-Box’s bass player was playing some natural 5ths over some chords like C7 altered or others. Now, after a discussion with some bass players, we've improved Band-in-a-Box so that the bass part plays the #5 or b5 correctly on these Jazz chords. Part Markers are now written to the MIDI files.
Boot to Last Directory. On program boot up, the current directory will get set to the last directory used in the previous session. So if you were working in a previous session in a folder called “c:\My Songs\My Ballads,” when you boot up the program it will be set to load in songs from that folder when you press OPEN. This feature is optional, and set in the item Opt. | Preferences | Prefs2 –“Boot up in directory of the last session.” StylePicker Enhancements.
available to enter a value for Volume, Panning, Reverb, Chorus, and Bank settings. Master Volume Hot Keys. Master Volume settings can now be made more quickly with added hot keys. If you want to “turn it all up or down,” this can be done quickly with hot keys. THRU Velocity boost. A velocity boost can be applied to the THRU part. Song Titles Dialog Editing. The Song Titles window can now be updated from within the Song Titles dialog. Scrolling Big Lyrics.
produced a (loud) velocity boost of 15-30. Now you can set the amount of velocity boost, for the effect you want. Duration of “shots” is reduced to 60 ticks per beat. Previously the shots lasted as long as the typical 1-beat pattern, which was often longer than 60 ticks. Soloist “Note-Density” Option. Now you can control the maximum number of notes per quarter note that the soloist will use. For example, you can set a “Rock Guitar” Soloist to use nothing shorter than 16th notes.
Chapter 3: QuickStart Tutorial QuickStart Tutorial for the Version 12 Upgrade. The full descriptions of the new features in Version 12 of Band-in-a-Box are provided elsewhere. This tutorial is a QuickStart tour of the new features in Version 12. Band-in-a-Box 12: Overview Note: It is assumed that you are somewhat familiar with the previous release of Band-in-a-Box. Explore Band-in-a-Box Version 12 OK, let's begin to explore BB version 12. First we'll take a quick tour around the main screen of Version 12.
Right click on the Chordsheet screen (or Notation window) and a context menu will appear. This is another way to launch the Preferences dialog or other items. Look at the top of the main screen. Up at the top left, there's a GM2 button. This allows you to select General MIDI patches, as well as 128 additional General MIDI 2 patches. Also, the patch number is displayed in the instrument list. In the example above, the instrument displayed is Ukulele. The Ukulele patch is 25/ variation 1.
Find the new Loop Section Settings dialog and checkbox. To the right of the song title, you'll see the “Loop Sec” check box, and the Loop Section Settings dialog button beside it. The loop section checkbox turns the looping on/off. The loop settings dialog button launches the Loop Section Settings dialog, allowing you to set a range of bars to loop in Band-in-a-Box. Let's quickly make a loop for bars 5-12, by first selecting bars 5-12 bars by dragging the mouse.
Four part Harmony display in Leadsheet Notation window. For example, you can see the first Bb note has the other harmony voices playing G (drop 2), F, and D. Now open up the leadsheet options.
Select Show Harmony Voice Æ“Voice 2,” and press OK. You'll now see just voice 2 of the harmony. Play the song so that you can hear the harmony. You will hear the “Voice 2” harmony along with the other harmonies. Return to the Leadsheet Options and select Play Volume of Harmony Voice Æ “50% solo.” Now you'll hear “Voice 2” played louder than the other harmony voices. Similarly, you can remove the sound of the harmony by selecting Æ “Muted.
You can view the bass fretboard for other tracks (except Guitar) in the Guitar Settings dialog by choosing Bass in the Fretboard list. Ukulele, Mandolin and Banjo fretboards may also be chosen from this dialog. Look at the Play | Looping menu. There are several menu commands (and hot keys) that allow you to control the song as it’s playing. Examples of Song Navigation Hot Keys - Loop Endless Middle Choruses. To practice a song, start it playing with Ctrl+NUMPAD 2.
Note: Violet.MID is a Jazz Swing MIDI file that is included in your c:\bb folder. You can use your own MIDI file in place of this if you'd prefer for this tutorial. First, start with a new song (File | New) and then choose Styles | Style Wizard (Alt+S W) to launch the Style Wizard. You'll see the following dialog. The dialog is largely empty because we haven't chosen a MIDI file yet. Press the [Open] button and load in the file c:\bb\violet.MID.
1. 2. The chords for the MIDI file are figured out and displayed on the Chordsheet. They aren't perfect, but usually are more than 80% accurate. The “part markers” for the file are interpreted and displayed on the Chordsheet. For Violet.MID, the Style Wizard has found the correct part markers – by looking for drum fills and other signs of a part change – and has assigned substyle “a” to all of them. We'll be changing some of those part markers to “b” substyle later. 3.
The “BB Parts” have to be correct. We can audition the MIDI file by playing a loop and listening to the MIDI file and muting channels by clicking on the “Channel” checkboxes. From that we can hear the individual parts and 1. assign them correctly as we would like them in the style. From listening to the style (by playing the MIDI file inside the Style Wizard– see below) we can tell which bars to use for the “a” and “b” substyle.
In the Snapshots area of the Style Wizard: - Enter “1-20” for the bars for the “A” Substyle. - Enter “21-28, 37-68” for the “B” Substyle. - Enter “12, 20” for the “A” Drum Fills. - Enter “28, 36, 44, 52, 60, and 68” for the “B” Drum Fills. Note: Of course you don't need to enter this much detail. You could just enter a single range like 1-20 for the “a” substyle and make a quickie style. We're illustrating “advanced” style-generation here.
So we've made our first style! In summary, making styles with the Style Wizard is a process involving: 1. Loading a MIDI file into the Style Wizard. 2. Listening to the MIDI file by muting channels to identify parts. 3. Picking the channels to use for the BB Parts. 4. Picking the snapshot bars for the “a” and “b” substyle. 5. Pressing the [Generate NEW style…] button. This is the end of the tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to read this section. The next sections examine the new features in detail.
Chapter 4: MIDI File to Style Wizard Overview MIDI file to Style Wizard This automatically converts a MIDI file (.MID) to a Band-in-a-Box Style (.STY). Simply open a MIDI file, select your options, and press “Save-As Style.
Style Wizard Dialog Open the Style Creation Wizard dialog from the Styles menu by choosing the Style Wizard menu item. A quicker method is to use the hot keys Alt+S then W. Once you open the dialog, you should select a MIDI file. You'll then see the name of the MIDI file in the MIDI file label. Once chosen, the Style Wizard will display the channels, patches, and number of events in the “Tracks Area” of the Style Wizard. It will look like this… Here's a sample row from the Tracks Area.
The [All] button selects (plays) all of the channels. The “Solo” button will “solo” the last channel that was pressed before the solo button was pressed. So to solo a channel, press the Channel Checkbox, then the SOLO button. The “BB” part button selects all of the channels that are currently selected as using the “BB Parts,” i.e., the drums/ bass/ piano/ guitar/ and strings (not the melody or “other”). The “BB Part” section is the area that you choose which channels to use for the “BB Parts” in your style.
of the chords isn't accurate, you can use this button to use different settings. The [=] button will re-load a MIDI file that is already on the Melody track. For example, if you've loaded in a MIDI file to the Melody track (outside of the Style Wizard), and would now like to make a style from it, you just need to load in the MIDI file from the Melody track to the style wizard. This won't cause an interpretation of the Chords; it uses the current chords on the Chordsheet.
Chordsheet, so you should first exit the Style Wizard to insure that the part markers are correct before pressing this button. This is similar to the “Auto-generate snapshot bars,” except when you select this button; a menu of choices will appear to allow selection of all bars, or only bars that include all of the instruments. The [Clear] button removes the current snapshots from the snapshot areas. The “Add looped bars as a snapshot” adds the current looped area as a snapshot.
“Generate NEW style…” makes a new style. The Style Creation Wizard dialog is exited, and a file dialog allows you to pick a name for the style. “Add to existing style...” allows you to add the patterns to an existing style. The [More] button launches the Style Wizard – Advanced Settings and Preferences dialog. Style Wizard “More…” Dialog This dialog is launched from the [More…] button in the Style Wizard. There are 2 sections to this dialog.
Drums (“voicings”): Whether the patterns will use live or grid style patterns. Default mode is “auto,” which normally uses live patterns, but you can force it to use live or grid style patterns. Live patterns have higher resolution and can use more instruments, so in general are the better choice. Bass (“voicings”) determine if the bass part will use All notes / Scale tones only / Root 3rd, 5th,7th / Root, 3rd, 5th / Root and 5th / or just the Root.
Delete existing patterns (when adding to the style). (DEFAULT = NO) If this option is set when you create style patterns to add to an existing style, the entire instrument will first be erased in the style for any instrument used in the new style. When you generate a style by adding to an existing style, the StyleMaker is then opened up, allowing you to pick a new name for the style (so you don't overwrite the existing style). # of Columns to leave unused in the style.
Chapter 5: General MIDI 2 (GM2) Support “Twice as many instruments” with General MIDI 2 support! We've added support for General MIDI 2 standard (GM2).
Technical note: For a GM patch like Nylon Guitar the patch is 25. For a GM2 patch like Ukulele, the patch is also 25, but it is accompanied by two bank settings; MSB Bank Controller 0 setting of 121 and LSB Bank Controller 32 setting of 1. When you select the instrument from this menu, it will make the bank settings (Bank0 and LSB) for you. You can also change the bank #s directly, and the patch in the box will change.
Chapter 6: Looping / Song Navigation Enhancements Loop any Section of the song. You can now loop any section of the song. The program will then start playback at the first loop point and play the looped section until stop is pressed or looping is turned off. This feature is handy for looping a full chorus or other section of a song for practice or performance. Looping of a section of the song is enabled by the “LoopSec” checkbox or with the keystroke NUMPAD 1.
Presets are available to set the loop points to Intro, First / Middle /Last Choruses, Ending, or All. As the different buttons are selected you will see the “Loop Range of Bars” settings update. Hot keys are also available for these, look in the Play menu under the Looping submenu. One More Time! (Song navigation during playback!) The loop feature is useful for live performance (to shorten or lengthen the tune), or to provide “endless choruses” of one tune when practicing.
Chapter 7: Bass / Guitar / Fretboards Guitar Window Enhancements We've enhanced the Guitar Window by adding fret display support for other instruments, including mandolin, ukulele and banjo. You'll see authentic chord voicings and melody display on the fretboard for all of these new instruments. The StyleMaker has been enhanced with support for the GM2 instruments, so you can make styles that use the new instruments and have correct instrument voicings displayed on the fretboard.
To get the Chord Diagrams displaying, go to the Notation Window Options dialog and choose the type of Guitar Chord Diagrams from the list. You'll then see typical chord diagrams on the notation. The fret #s are written at the top of the diagram. The chord symbol is written above that (in a size 50% of normal). The fret # of the root of the chord is written at the left of the diagram.
Chapter 8: Harmony Notation Display Enhancements Harmony Notation Display Enhancements Harmonies can now be displayed on the Leadsheet window (or printed) with separate notation tracks for each harmony voice. View each harmony on a separate track, or view/print a single harmony voice! Print harmony charts for your band, or use for sight reading practice – to read and play any harmony voice along with the melody that you're hearing. Now, let's examine the new harmony display features.
Four part harmony on four separate staves. For example, you can see the first Bb note has the other harmony voices playing G (drop 2), F, and D. Now open up the Leadsheet Options. - [Convert Harmony to track] will add a harmony to an existing Melody. [Remove] will remove the harmony from the track.
- Split Harmonies to different tracks enables the splitting of the harmonies to different tracks on the leadsheet. Show Harmony Voice allows you to select ALL tracks, which will cause each track to display on a different track on the Leadsheet. Or select a specific Voice to display only that voice. For example, if you choose “Voice 2” and press OK, you'll now see just voice 2 of the harmony. Play the song, so that you can hear the harmony.
Chapter 9: GUI Enhancements Interface Enhancements The program’s Graphical User Interface has been enhanced. There is a single tab dialog for all program Preferences. Press the Preferences button (new hot key is Ctrl+E) to launch the dialog, and then choose the tab for the type of options that you want to set.
The User menu (abbreviation for User-Style) has been moved to the Styles menu. The Styles menu now contains the StyleMaker menu items, including the new Style Wizard. Right click on the Chordsheet screen or Notation window and a context menu appears. This is another way to launch the Preferences dialog or other items. Descriptive Hints added throughout the program. We've added much more detail to the yellow window flyby hints that appear when you move over an item.
Chapter 10: Notation Enhancements Guitar Chord Diagrams are available on the notation, leadsheet, or printout for Folk, Pop, and Jazz voicings. Boxes for Section text are now thicker. They are double thickness. A Notation option has been added to disable the highlighting of notes in red as the song is playing so it won't be distracting to good sight-readers who like to read ahead. The “Highlight Playback notes in red” setting in the Notation Window Options dialog sets this.
Channel numbers are now displayable on the notation. When editing notes, it is often helpful to see the channel number of each note. Now, by setting Note Names to “Channel Numbers” in the Notation Window Options dialog you'll see the channel number for each note written into the note head of the notes. This is useful (for example) when viewing an entire MIDI file that you've loaded onto the Melody track, and want to examine the channel information, or for editing a guitar track that uses channels 11 to 16.
Chapter 11: Style Enhancements Styles Improved All of the styles are enhanced! We've improved/updated EVERY Band-in-aBox style that we’ve made with the newest StyleMaker features including guitar and other fretted instrument voicings, consistent volume levels, edited patterns and more. Many of these styles and new demo songs are included with your Band-in-a-Box version 12 upgrade. Change styles at any bar using the convenient StylePicker Window.
Load Previous Style, Load Next Style. This function, analogous to the Load Next Song function, loads in the previous (or next) style in alphabetical order of the file name. These functions are added to the Styles menu, and accessible with the hot keys Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F8 (or Alt+Shift+F8). StylePicker Enhancements The StylePicker window has been enhanced: There is a new filter to display only the styles of a certain Styles Set number, as well as displaying the name of the Styles Set.
Box. The window size has been increased, providing more space for the category descriptions. Technical note: The configuration file saved is now called BBW.LSW instead of BBW.LSV. In the StyleMaker, deleting patterns no longer requires a confirmation “are you sure” dialog. Just typing a zero or Delete will delete the pattern.
Chapter 12: Other New Features Handy Song Transpose Options. Quick (1 hot key) Song Transpose. Now you can transpose the entire song during playback (or while stopped) using a single key. Transpose down 1 semitone (Ctrl+Alt+5), up one semitone (Ctrl+Alt+6), or a specified number of semitones (Ctrl+Alt+7). These are also available from the Edit | Transpose menu.
Option to hear the drum count-in even if the drums are muted or disabled. Previously, when the drum track was muted (or disabled in a song), the count-in drum click wouldn't play. Now there's an option to play the drum count-in in all circumstances. Drummers who play along with BB by muting the drum track should find this feature useful. To set this option, choose Opt. | Preferences and set “Lead-in drum count if drums muted or disabled” to true (default is true).
Master Volume settings can now be made more quickly with hot keys. If you want to “turn it all up or down,” this can be done quickly with hot keys. Hot keys Ctrl+Alt+A (or Ctrl+Alt+S) will decrease (or increase) the master volume setting by 5 and Ctrl+Alt+D launches a new dialog that allows a number to be set for the master volume.
Shot/Held Chords option enhanced. Normally, when a “shot” or a “held” chord is assigned, the instruments that are excluded from the shot/held chord play normally. Now there is an additional option for those excluded instruments to stay silent. To set this, open the chord options dialog, and select a shot or held chord, and then select “Excluded instrument(s) should rest.” This new option gives you the ability to rest some instruments while others play the shot or held chord.
Dedicated menu items added on GM Menu for “Turn Local ON,” “Turn Local OFF,” and “When program quits, turn Local ON.” “Local” refers to sounds generated by playing on an external MIDI keyboard, if set to “off,” Band-in-a-Box will play the keyboard via the THRU part, if set to ON, both Band-in-a-Box and the keyboard might be playing the same THRU part. For the loop screen feature, if looping on the first line Band-in-a-Box now loops from bar 1 and does not include the lead-in.
Songs will always be saved with last letter of extension “U,” regardless if they are chosen with a Built-in style or not. For example, if you make a song, and choose ZZJAZZ.STY as the style (i.e. one of the 24 built-in styles) previous versions of BB would save the song as MySong.MG1 (the '1' indicates Style #1 – ZZJAZZ). Now it will be saved as MySong.MGU. Older songs loaded in with .MG1 will still get re-saved as MG1 to prevent duplicate song files.
Use Ctrl+Shift together with the 1-9 and 0 keys on the keyboard to select Favorite Instruments. For example, let’s change the Piano part to Rhodes Piano. 1. Press Ctrl+4 to select the Piano part. 2. Press Ctrl+Shift+2 to select the Favorite #2. That is Rhodes Piano. Use Ctrl+Shift and the [-] and [=] keys to decrease/increase the patch by 1. Volume Settings Ctrl+Alt+Shift+R Ctrl+Alt+A Ctrl+Alt+S Ctrl+Alt+D Ctrl+Alt+Shift Q Ctrl+Alt+Shift W Ctrl+Alt+Shift E Set current part’s volume.
