Chapter 8: Automatic Music Features 117
on practicing your solo phrasing and playing in time without concerning
yourself with which notes to play (Band-in-a-Box will supply the correct notes.)
Tip: The Soloist will use the velocities you play or pick its own, depending on the setting in
the Edit | Preferences (2) | Soloist Prefs... “Use MIDI Volume for Soloist Wizard” checkbox.
Editing Soloists
If you'd like to create your own Soloists,
or permanently change the settings of
existing Soloists, you can press the [Edit]
button to launch the Soloist Maker, which
is described elsewhere in detail.
Using the Soloist Feature
- Generate a Soloist and practice the solo by looping it, slowing it down, or
printing it out, until you can perform a great solo on any chord changes!
- Generate a Soloist and attach a Harmony such as “Big Band Brass” to
create phenomenally quick and interesting Big Band Arrangements
automatically. Generate a standard MIDI file or print them out for you and
your friends.
- Have the Soloist play a solo according to your accompaniment and
arrangement.
- Trade 4's with the Soloist (you solo for 4 bars, BB solos for 4 bars, etc.)
- Concentrate separately on different aspects of your playing with assistance
from the “Wizard.” From soloing with proper phrasing and “feel” (and the
best notes) to accompanying a soloist with confidence and authority.
- Use the Soloist track to record another part in addition to the Melody and
other parts provided by Band-in-a-Box.
- Generate a Soloist on chords/keys that you would like to practice. For
example, if you want to work on your II-V7-I progressions, you can just
type the chords you want, and generate a solo to play over those changes.
As the solo plays, you see the notation, you can sight read along. Pressing
the “Loop Screen” checkbox on the notation will loop the notation the
screen so you can master each 4 bar phrase (II-V-I) and then move ahead to
the next one!
A Few Technical Notes on the Soloist.
1) The Soloist has its own separate channel and settings. But when the
Soloist uses a Harmony, it becomes linked to the Thru Harmony
channels and settings. Since we are already using 12 of the available
16 MIDI channels in Band-in-a-Box, we didn't want to use up another 2
channels on dedicated Soloist Harmony channels. So if you want to
hear a Soloist with harmony, use the THRU Harmony settings. In other
