Edit Chord Shortcut.txt

This will edit the file SHORTCUT.TXT using Teach Text. This is the chord

shortcuts file. Make sure to save the file after editing. Changes won’t take

effect until you choose Edit | Refresh Chord Shortcuts.

If you find a chord that Band-in-a-Box won't accept like Csus2, when it expects

C2 instead, you can enter this on a single line (without the quotes) “sus2@2.”

Then Band-in-a-Box will enter the chord C2 if you type in Csus2. These allow

someone to type in Csus2 and the program will accept it. You can also use it for

shortcuts, like if you entered j@maj7, Band-in-a-Box would let you type Cj for

CMaj7. See the file pgshortc.txt in the Band-in-a-Box folder for examples of

shortcuts.

Refresh Chord Shortcuts

After editing chord shortcuts in the SHORTCUT.TXT file you must use this

command to save the changes.

MIDI Setup

Connecting to MIDI

Here is an illustration of the connections for a MIDI system using a MIDI

Interface to connect to an external MIDI synthesizer.

- The Band-in-a-Box program running on your computer sends a stream of

MIDI data via the MIDI Driver to your MIDI interface.

- The MIDI interface transmits information between the computer and your

synthesizer.

- The Synthesizer or Sound Module (e.g. Roland Sound Canvas) produces

the musical instrument sounds. Band-in-a-Box tells it what notes to play

and how to play them.

- Stereo Speakers or Headphones are connected to your synthesizer so that

you may hear the music.

Your MIDI setup could also be configured to use the built-in sounds of

QuickTime Musical Instruments, or a virtual software synthesizer such as the

Roland VSC Virtual Sound Canvas.

There are also MIDI systems such as OMS and FreeMIDI that can be configured

by the user. (FreeMIDI and OMS are supported only in Band-In-A-Box™ OS9,

booted from Mac Classic) If they are present on your system, they will appear

in the Band-in-a-Box MIDI Drivers dialog.
