PG Music Band in a Box 2005 W
There's a new fully-featured Piano Roll Window, similar to the
type found in many sequencer programs. This allows you to edit
the Melody or Soloist tracks with greater ease and precision.
The Guitar window is enhanced, and now supports Alternate Guitar
tunings, including DADGAD, Drop D, Double Drop D, Open G and 11
others, including Nashville High Strung tunings! Guitar bends
now show up in real-time on the guitar fretboard.
New 3, 4, and 5-part Jazz Harmonies are added with voicing in
Fourths.
"Auto Endings" are added for styles that don't have endings,
such as styles made from MIDI files. Synthesizer Patch file
lists (.PAT files) can now be made easily by converting PowerTracks or Cakewalk patch lists.
"Jazz Chord-Symbol Graphics" (triangles for major, circles for
diminished and a circle with a slash for half-diminished) are
now supported. A new "Vocal Wizard" displays and transposes to
the best song keys for your vocal range.
Editing of the
Audio Track is now non-destructive, so changes only become
permanent if you save the file. The TC-Helicon Audio Harmonies
have been enhanced with Vocal Pitch-Styles (automatic "Vibrato"
and "Scooping") that can be added to the vocal harmony parts.
Multiple sound cards are supported-you can now choose which
sound card to use.
Full Stereo or Mono support has been added for the Audio Track.
There are now on-screen VU meters to monitor the Audio Track.
Multiple lines of Lyrics are now supported on the Fake sheet and
Printout. Chords and Lyrics can be displayed on separate lines
on the Big Lyrics Window.
Band-in-a-Box is an intelligent
automatic accompaniment program for your multimedia
computer.
You
can hear and play along to many song ideas and go from "nothing"
to "something" in a very short period of time with Band-in-a-Box
as your "on demand" backup band.
Band-in-a-Box is a powerful and
creative music composition tool for exploring and developing
musical ideas with near-instantaneous feedback.
Over
the years many features have been added to Band-in-a-Box -
Notation, Lyrics, Melody Tracks, Harmonization, and a
programmable StyleMaker. The Soloist and the Melodist are two
major "intelligent" features; the Soloist generates professional
quality solos over any chord progression, the Melodist can
create songs from scratch with Chords, Melodies, Intros, Solos,
and even a Title!
Band-in-a-Box for Windows® can
also record an acoustic instrument or voice to add to the
composition, with processing through DirectX audio effects.
Its
built-in audio harmonies will turn your audio track into
multiple harmony parts and even adjust its pitch by tracking the
Band-in-a-Box Melody track. The inclusion of digital audio
features makes Band-in-a-Box the perfect tool for creating,
playing, and recording your music with MIDI, vocals, and
acoustic instruments.
You
can print out your finished creation with repeats and endings,
DC markings and codas, or save it as a graphic file for web
publication or to e-mail to a friend. And when you're ready to
let others hear your composition, you can burn it directly to an
audio CD. Or save your composition as a Windows Media File or in
other compressed formats for a file that's "Internet ready."
