Write Section Text as Text Events
Your section text can be included in the MIDI file as text events.
Include Volume/Reverb/Chorus/Panning
This will include the volume, reverb, chorus, and panning settings that you have made in the Band-in-a-Box synth
window in your MIDI file.
Include Forced Channel Meta Event
This will include the forced channel META event. It is recognized by PowerTracks Pro Audio and other PG Music
Inc. programs only.
Include Guitar Position Controller
This will insert a controller 84 which PG Music uses to indicate the fret position. Since some synths also use this for
Portamento Control, you should use this setting with caution.
Write Soloist Part On Channel 5
Normally the program writes the Soloist part on channel 8. Since that could also mean the left hand of a piano track
using the convention of channel 8/9 for piano, this option allows you to write it on channel 5 instead.
Write Harmony To MIDI File
If set to YES, the harmony will be written to the MIDI file. If not, just the melody will be written to the MIDI file.
MIDI File Harmony on separate tracks
If set to YES, the harmony will be written to the MIDI file on separate tracks for each voice. You could use this to
print out individual parts to your printer for example.
Write Guitar part on 6 channels
If set to YES, the styles that are Intelligent Guitar Styles will result in a MIDI file that has the Guitar part written on
6 channels (11-16). Then, when you read it in PowerTracks, or another sequencer that uses the convention of 11-16
for guitar strings, the guitar part will display correctly.
MIDI Driver Setup
The [MIDI Driver] button launches the MIDI Driver Setup.
