Twelve Days of Christmas TEXT | BandInABox (zipped) | MIDI (46K)
All the files in the dbut 1994 multicultural winter holiday collection are rough sequences created in an hour or two. Alternate choruses often omit the melody.
Typically w/ BIAB i first spend about 10 minutes selecting style & voices, typing the chord prog, setting part markers, looping, & ending points. in another 5 or 10 minutes I can add a simple melody & be ready to jam.
Sometimes I record a bass line in the 1st chorus of melody track, copy it to all choruses, then overdub. But often i'll just play a simple melody & rely completely on BIAB's accomp. BIAB will also generate harmonies if you want. I usually don't. Channel 4 is the only channel set up for recording. So if you mute / solo channel 4 you can hear the generated & live parts separately.
All of these files were uploaded long ago, in MIDI format, to the Usenet news group:
