Melody and Thru harmony assignments and the Soloist selected to play on the

song.

You can also save the instruments as “On” or “Off” for each song. For example,

you could have a song with no piano part. Usually, these settings are set to

“On,” as you would normally like all members of your “band” to participate.

Other parameters that may be saved (volume, reverb, etc.) are shown on the left

side of the window.

Storing Volume, Panning, Reverb and/or Bank Settings

You can optionally save these kinds of settings with your songs. You can make,

for example, a song with the piano a little quieter than usual, add reverb to the

melody patch, or pan the bass to one side, etc. Simply choose the parameters

you wish to be saved with a song and press the [Save Song] button when you are

satisfied with your selections.

Saving a MIDI file

Your song can be saved as a Standard MIDI file with the [.MID] button in the

toolbar, or with the menu command File | Save Standard MIDI File…, or with

the keystrokes Option+S. The file can be saved to disk or to the clipboard.

Choose which tracks get written to the MIDI File.

By muting tracks with Option+Click on the track name at the top of the screen,

you can decide which tracks get written to the MIDI file. Any track that is

muted is excluded from the MIDI file.

See the Edit | Preferences dialog for MIDI file options. For example, if you

don't want to create a MIDI file containing the first 2 bars of the 1—2—1-2-3-4

count-in you can select this option, and the MIDI file will begin directly at bar 1

without the count-in. If there is a Melody pickup, then the 2 bar lead-in will

remain in the file.

Other Edit Functions

In addition to the edit functions described elsewhere, the Edit menu has many

special options for configuring the program. These are found in the

Preferences… and Preferences 2 dialogs.

Preferences

Select Preferences from the Edit menu or press Option+P. This dialog box

allows you to set various settings. These are all saved in the Band-in-a-Box

folder in a file named Intrface.BBW.
