Band-in-a-Box 9.0

Band-in-a-Box is an automatic-accompaniment program. You type in the chord symbols (C, Fm7, Cm7b5, and so on) to any song, choose a style, and press Play. Band-in-a-Box then generates a five-instrument accompaniment of bass, drums, piano, guitar, and strings in more than 100 styles of music. This upgrade to Band-in-a-Box includes a full featured digital audio track, so you can add live vocals or guitar playing to your song. There's also an intelligent style selection wizard that shows you what styles would work best in your song, highlighting all the styles that have a similar tempo, genre, and feel. Guitarists will love the guitar enhancements, tablature display, and a great automatic feature that creates a professional-quality guitar chord solo to any melody, displayed perfectly on the guitar fretboard. There's a new Big Lyrics Window with a selectable font and size, and a Big Piano Window that displays a piano with large keys and optional note names. For a screen shot, click here.

Note: The full version costs $88. This demo will expire on December 1, 2000.
