Chapter 3: Summary of New Features 21
For example, Soloist 188 is edited so that it will play at most 5 notes per beat.
Dedicated menu items added on GM Menu
Dedicated menu items added on GM Menu for “Turn Local On,” “Turn
Local Off,” and “When program quits, turn local on.”
“Local” refers to sounds generated by playing on an external MIDI keyboard, if
set to “off,” Band-in-a-Box will play the keyboard via the THRU part, if set to
ON, both Band-in-a-Box and the keyboard might be playing the same THRU
part.
The GS Menu has been re-designed, with many items added, and a separate
pull down menu added for the Master Volume Adjust options.
Note: Most of the items on these sub-menus have hotkeys, and it is easier to
access them quickly using the hotkeys.
New Hot Keys
These hotkeys are slightly different than previous versions, and are now the
same as the Windows version.
− Ctrl+Shift+Q and Ctrl+Shift+W change the volume of the current part.
