Chapter 11: User Programmable Functions 167

(e.g., PowerTracks Pro for Windows ) will recognize guitar parts on all 6

channels, so if you want to write the MIDI file from an intelligent guitar style,

you can set Band-in-a-Box to do this from the Edit | Preferences… “Write

Guitar part on 6 channels” option.

As previously mentioned, you don't need to be aware of the details of how this is

done; you just play the styles as usual.

Let's Examine the Intelligent Guitar Styles

Load in the song! Freddie.MGU from the “Songs” folder. This is a demo song

for the style! Freddie.STY. The exclamation point (!) in the name of a style is a

convention to indicate that the style is an “intelligent guitar style.” This means

that the patterns on the guitar part will play with correct guitar voicings on the

fretboard.

Play the !Freddie.MGU song.

Open the Guitar window

and click on the [G] button to

view the Guitar track on the

guitar fretboard.

As the song plays, you'll see and hear the guitar played on the fretboard using

correct Jazz voicings. For some chords, you'll notice that the guitar plays

different voicings on each beat in a walking pattern. For example, on an F7

chord lasting 4 beats, the guitar might play “F7, Gm7, Abdim, and F7/A,” with

each chord lasting one beat, just as a professional Jazz guitarist might do.

The !Freddie.MGU style uses 3 note chord voicings in order to emphasize the

lower range and to enhance the percussive rhythm effect. Since in these cases

the guitarist is usually fingering the 4

note and muting it, if you want to see

what the 4

note of the voicing would be you can set this option by pressing the

[Settings] button in the Guitar window and checking the box for “Show muted

note of guitar style comping” in the Guitar Settings dialog.

Note: Remember that for any style you see with an exclamation point (!) in the style

name (an intelligent guitar style) you can view and hear the guitar part played on the

guitar fretboard as described above.

The Harmony Maker

The Harmony Maker editing module allows you to create (or edit) your own

harmonies. This can be used in the program to harmonize melodies, solos, or
