Can I record and edit multi-channel MIDI files in Band-in-a-Box?
Band-in-a-Box isn’t a dedicated multi-track sequencer, so it isn’t as easy to edit multi-channel MIDI files as it is with our program PowerTracks Pro Audio. In Band-in-a-Box, you only have two tracks to work with – Melody and Soloist. The other tracks – Bass, Drums, Piano, Guitar, and Strings – are used by Band-in-a-Box to generate its arrangements. However, the Melody and Soloist tracks don’t have to be used for ONLY a melody and solo – you can have whatever you want on those tracks, including multi-channel MIDI data. Here are some tips: • The Melody and Soloist track type need to be set to ‘multi-channel’ when you are working with MIDI data on more than one channel (more than one instrument). The default track type is ‘single-channel’. When the track is single-channel, all MIDI data is re-channeled to the default channel for that track (channel 4 for Melody and channel 8 for Soloist). The track type can be set by selecting the appropriate option under the Melody or Soloist menu. Note
