Chapter 9: Recording Tracks 130

Import Which Channel(s)?

You'll need to know which channel(s) of your MIDI file the melody is on. You

then select these channels for Band-in-a-Box to read in. If you select all of the

channels, Band-in-a-Box will read all of the channels and merge them to the

Melody track. You can import and play the complete file on the Melody track if

the Track Type is set to “Multi (16) Channel” in the MEL menu.

If you have such a MIDI guitar part that was recorded with separate pitch bend

information on 6 channels, you can import the 6 channels into Band-in-a-Box

Set the Melody track to be a guitar track (MEL | Track Type), and then use the

Guitar Settings dialog (in the Guitar window) to set the “Output guitar tracks on

6 channels for this song” to be true. This has been done for the “Nashville

Solos” files like NG001.MGU (available as an add-on to Band-in-a-Box).

When this option is set, the patch changes, panning and so on will be sent on all

6 MIDI channels.

# bars to offset from start

If you want to start reading from the beginning of the MIDI file, select 0 as the

offset. If you want to be read starting at bar 32, for example, select an offset of

32 (bars).

How many bars to import

Leave this setting at the default of 1000 to read-in the entire file (unless it’s

longer than 1000 bars!), or set it to the number of bars that you are interested in

if you don't want the whole file.

# blank b. to insert at beginning

This will insert blank bars into the Melody track. Remember that Band-in-a-

Box normally has a 2 bar lead-in count. If your MIDI file has no lead-in, then

you'll need to set this to = 2 to compensate for the 2 bars of lead-in.

Include notes early by (120 ppq)

If you’re reading in a MIDI file starting at bar 5, it would be annoying to have a

note that was played 1 tick earlier than bar 5 left out of the MIDI file that is read

in. To include it, you can set this, and the note will be read in.

Include continuous controllers and pitch bend /Patch changes

Select the items you want to include when the track is imported.

Merge with existing data on Track

You can choose to merge the imported data with your existing Melody track.

Record using The Melodist

There’s always the option to let Band-in-a-Box do it all by writing an original

melody with its Melodist feature. It will do this over the chord changes you

enter in the chordsheet, or it will generate its own changes for whatever style

you select from the Melodist dialog.
