Band in a Box Tips:
auto generating Biab tunes from .midi files

Need more Band in a Box tunes with melodies? Can't find the file you want? BiaB comes with an extensive range of tunes, but sometimes you need tunes which aren't there, or the tune is a chords only file and you want the melody.

If you can't find the tune you want, download a midi file from the net. There are tons of sites with free .midi files such as this one:

http://midistudio.com/midi/LG_AH.htm

Then, in BiaB select:

file » import chords from midi file

You just need to browse for the downloaded file using the open (change) button then select the interpret chords now button.

You may need to experiment with which channel the melody is on, it's usually on 1, but if not, just keep changing it and rerun the wizard until the melody plays in BiaB.
