OK to Load Harmony w/songs
If checked, the harmony settings for each song will be loaded and saved
with each song. If set to NO, the harmony setting won't be saved or
loaded with the songs. If you are using a certain harmony, you should
set this setting to NO, otherwise you'll have to keep re-selecting the
harmony when you load in new songs.
Change Harmony w/new chords
Example: If a harmony is played on bar 1 on a C chord, and then the
note is held as the chord changes to a Fm7 chord, (if this setting
checked) the harmony notes will change so that they will be still be
playing chord tones. If they don't the harmony sounds dissonant.
Leave this setting checked, unless you have a specific reason to disable
it. The harmony is changed by moving the voices to the nearest chord
tone.
Har. Volume Adjust
Raise or lower the overall volume of the Harmony with a range of –128
to 128.
OK to Load Style w/songs
Leave this unchecked to audition the same style with several different
songs.
Use MSB for Bank (Roland)
Band-in-a-Box sends General MIDI bank changes. These can be sent
in two ways. Most synths (e.g. Roland, Korg, Kawai) use the
Controller 0 for the bank. This is the MSB (Most Significant Byte)
method. Check this option if you are using one of these synths. Some
synths use Controller 32 for the bank (e.g. Peavey). This is the LSB
(Least Significant Byte) method. If you have one of these synths, then
uncheck the “Use MSB for Bank (Roland).”
Tip: If your synth requires both MSB and LSB bank changes, use the '+' button
(patches on higher banks).
