Setting the Harmony Channels
Melody Harmony Channel A Always uses the Melody channel.
Melody Harmony Channel B Default =11
Melody Harmony Channel C Default =12
Thru Harmony Channel A Always uses the Thru channel.
Thru Harmony Channel B Default =13
Thru Harmony Channel C Default =14
Band-in-a-Box already uses 7 channels (Bass, Drums, Piano, Guitar, Strings, Melody and Thru channels). Adding
these 4 harmony channels produces potentially 11 channels of information. If you have a modern module that
receives on all channels, then you can use these defaults.
Older modules capable of playing only 8 parts at once (like an MT32 or a Korg M1) won't be able to take advantage
of the harmony using different instruments. In this case, you should set the harmony channels as follows:
Melody Harmony Channel A Uses the Melody Channel, no need to set.
Melody Harmony Channel B Need to Set equal to Melody Channel.
Melody Harmony Channel C Need to Set equal to Melody Channel.
Thru Harmony Channel A Uses the Thru Channel, no need to set.
Thru Harmony Channel B Need to Set equal to Thru Channel.
Thru Harmony Channel C Need to Set equal to Thru Channel.
If you do this, then you don't need to do any other modifications to your Band-in-a-Box setup, because it is not using
any new channels.
Piano Display: Default =
Uncheck this box if you don’t want to see notes played on the onscreen piano keyboard.
Color Notes? Default =
The notes that play on the onscreen piano are usually in different colors for each part. Bass – Aqua, Piano – Blue,
Guitar – Green letter G, Strings – Pink letter S, Melody – Red letter M, Solo – Red letter S. Uncheck this box to
show them all in black and white.
Allow Patch Changes: Default =
Do not check this box if you want to disable All Patch changes. If you haven't made a patch map, you should
disable this.
Style GS Patch Changes: Default =
Styles frequently come with patch changes. If you want to disable these, uncheck this box.
MIDI (sync): Default =
To synchronize Band-in-a-Box with an external sequencer, check this box.
Overall Volume Changes: Default =
To prevent any changes of volume inside Band-in-a-Box, uncheck this box.
Style Volume Changes: Default =
Styles occasionally come with volume changes. To prevent these, uncheck this box.
Extra Note Offs: Default =
Leave this box unchecked unless you are having trouble with stuck notes when you press [Stop]. If you check this
box, Band-in-a-Box will send a sweep of all notes off.
Concert Pitch Adjust: Default = 0
This is useful for non-concert instruments such as Saxophone or Trumpet. The output is transposed so that you see
the music in one key, and it plays in another.
