Tip: You can have these values preset to the values you'd like by first selecting the range of bars that you'd like from the
Spreadsheet screen, and then clicking on the [Soloist] button.
OK to solo for an extra beat
Usually, Soloists end a little after a bar's end – they play a couple of extra notes, spilling over to the next bar.
Selecting this option the gives Band-in-a-Box soloist this ability also.
Overwrite existing solo in range
If you want to “overdub” a solo and have multiple solo tracks going at once, deselect this checkbox, and avoid
getting a little messy.
Generate Solo Now
Once you press this button, the portion of the solo that you have selected will be generated. The song will start
playing two bars before the new part, so you can quickly hear the new solo. Remember that the custom solo
generation can be used with different soloists, so you can use a “tenor sax jazz” soloist for a few bars, and then
insert a custom “bluegrass banjo” soloist for four bars and so on.
Tip: Band-in-a-Box even solos over the “slash chords.” The Band-in-a-Box Soloist feature analyzes slash chords like C/Bb
to determine the best scale type to use (e.g. Bb Lydian). There's nothing you need to do, as this happens automatically!
