Chapter 5: Guided Tour of Band-in-a-Box

Play the Jukebox

Use the

Jukebox for continuous playback of a list of Band-in-a-Box songs. Click the [JukeBox] button

to open the Juke Box Options dialog, a list of options that controls how the songs in the chosen

directory are played.

When you have chosen the options you want, click [PLAY JUKE BOX] to play all the songs in the selected

directory folder.

Use the Preview feature to automatically audition a complete directory of songs by playing a part of each song and

then moving on to the next one, or use the [<] and [>] cursor buttons to navigate manually through the list of juke

box songs.

Automatic Songs - “The Melodist”

Feel like composing a brand new song?

With Band-in-a-Box you can compose a new song, in the style of your choice complete with intro, chords, melody,

arrangement and improvisations, all created by the program! All you have to do is pick from one of the Melodists

and press [OK] - the program then automatically generates the intro, chords, melody, and arrangement in the chosen

style. It even auto-generates a title!

You can go from nothing to a completed song in less than 1 second! Once the song is generated, the chords and

melody are part of the regular Band-in-Box tracks, so may be edited, printed, and saved as with any other song!

You can also auto-regenerate any part of a song and modify it to suit you. The Melodist will also generate a melody

over an existing chord progression. A Melodist “Juke Box” mode creates and performs new compositions in

succession.
