PG Music has released Band-in-a-Box 2006 Build 220.
Changes:
- Fixed: When drum lead-in was set to play patterns, sometimes played a fill on bar 1 when styles were live drums.
- Added: Better support for Bandstand, and other synths that take time to load new patches. See the files 'UsingBandstandWithBIAB.pdf' and 'ReadmeBandstand.txt' in the folder C:\bb\Bandstand Technical Notes.
- Changed: '0' to delete a pattern in StyleMaker now requires a confirmation dialog. Delete key still doesn't.
- Fixed: In the StyleMaker, added a "style has changed" reminder when notation has been edited or just the pattern weight has been changed.
- Added: Option to set a style to use riff voicings that are a simple transposition, instead of mapping to chord tones. This is set in Miscellaneous-Riff voicings use chord tones. If you de-select this, the style would simply transpose a riff-based voicing (for piano/guitar/strings) instead of mapping it to chord tones. You can also force EVERY style to map riff-based patterns in this way, by putting a file called 'RIFF12.TXT' in the folder. If you do this, all patterns that are set to riff-based voicing will simply be transposed instead of mapped to chord tones. Note: riff-based voicing is a rarely used setting, and this likely affects less than 1% of styles.
- Fixed: Occasional problem when style used live drums, the intro was set to play drum patterns, and there were pushes present in bar 1 or bar 2 (the drums would be silent for awhile).
- Fixed: Piano Roll now displays drum patch names instead of instrument patches when viewing the drum track.
- Fixed: Melodist Editor - 'SET' button was obscured by the chorus combo box.
