More Soloist & More Melodist Settings
The [Soloist] button launches the More Soloist & Melodist Settings dialog.
Set “Use MIDI Volume for Soloing Wizard” to true if you want MIDI velocity information sent to the Soloing
Wizard. If you have a velocity sensitive MIDI device attached to your computer and you want to control the
dynamics of the Soloist, you should enable this feature.
Set the “Trigger Playback Early” to true to enable song playback to start before the Soloist has actually completed
composing a solo. Otherwise, Band-in-a-Box will completely compose a solo before song playback begins.
Soloist – Prefer Long Phrases
Set this checkbox to “True” (enabled) if you would like the Soloist to use the longest musical phrases it “knows.”
This setting is normally used in conjunction with the Use Large Soloist files setting.
Note: This option may also increase Soloist creation times. Disable this feature if you are using a slower or low-memory
equipped computer.
Soloist/Melody Velocity Adjust
This box allows you to quickly boost or reduce the volume of the Soloist part relative to the other instrument parts.
For a realistic mix the soloist instrument is set slightly louder than the other instruments/parts in a song. The default
is 5.
