Chapter 6: Band-in-a-Box PowerGuide 89

Setting the Harmony Channels

Melody Harmony Channel A Always uses the Melody channel

Melody Harmony Channel B Default =11

Melody Harmony Channel C Default =12

Thru Harmony Channel A Always uses the Thru channel

Thru Harmony Channel B Default =13

Thru Harmony Channel C Default =14

Band-in-a-Box already uses 7 channels (Bass, Drums, Piano, Guitar, Strings,

Melody and Thru channels). Adding these 4 harmony channels produces

potentially 11 channels of information. If you have a modern module that

receives on all channels, then you can use these defaults.

Older modules capable of playing only 8 parts at once (like an MT32 or a Korg

M1) won't be able to take advantage of the harmony using different instruments.

In this case you should set the harmony channels as follows:

Melody Harmony Channel A Uses the Melody Channel, no need to set.

Melody Harmony Channel B Need to Set equal to Melody Channel.

Melody Harmony Channel C Need to Set equal to Melody Channel

Thru Harmony Channel A Uses the Thru Channel, no need to set.

Thru Harmony Channel B Need to Set equal to Thru Channel.

Thru Harmony Channel C Need to Set equal to Thru Channel.

If you do this, then you don't need to do any other modifications to your Band-

in-a-Box setup, because it is not using any new channels.

MIDI Output to an external device.

Some external music hardware devices require chords played in root position to

drive them in real time.

An example of this is the Digitech Vocalist. It will let you sing into a

microphone and harmonize your voice according to the chords that are input to

the device. Band-in-a-Box now has the capability of outputting a separate

channel with the chords in root position to support such external devices

automatically. There are also settings such as complexity of chords, output

channel, velocity, and note range. Band-in-a-Box will also drive “RealTime

Arrangers” like the Roland RA series.

The best way to accomplish this is to access the M | Output chords to external

device… menu item. You will then be given a window like the following:

1 2 ... 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 ... 266 267
