I’ve been experimenting with BIAB automatic harmonies combined with the AI voices of Synthesizer V. I find they work well together!

So just for fun I came up with this little ditty – a demo of the possibilities of what can be done very easily. I typed in some chords, played a crazy melody on a single track and told BIAB to generate 5-part harmony and ran it through Synthesizer V. Nothing else, just let BIAB write the parts, and it was quite intelligent about what notes to choose in this style. I only had to type the lyrics once because Synthesizer V copied them to all parts.

“Five Part Harmony”

_JVELVET.STY Velvet Jazz Funk Fusion
Synthesizer-V Hayden & Kevin
Harmony Automatically Generated by BIAB

BIAB, it can make me sing in five-part harmony
You can see that the five-part harmony is so easy
And it sounds quite good to me
Changing key, well that is no problem
So, let me sing in E-flat
And for fun I’ll change now to D-flat
And then I’ll go right back to C
I think maybe I will always sing in five-part harmony
When I’m blue it’s an easy thing to do
And it happens automatically, well who knew?
Do you like that I’m singing all in harmony
All done by Band-in-a-Box?
Can you believe I’m all computer?
And do you think this harmony rocks?

I know, the lyrics are silly, but I was just messing around…..

I agree with Floyd and add "creative" and "clever".
Well done.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.

haha! I'm still using a version of b-i-a-b that came on floppy disks (wikipedia if you don't know what these are).
Don't tell me they have now added a virtual vocalist option?!

Thomas,

In just a few short posts, everyone has said all there is to say about your efforts combined with BIAB's fabulous capabilities. But it all starts with you. And you did your job remarkably well.
Congrats on a great accomplishment!

EXTREMELY IMPRESSIVE!


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Don't change your singers or your musicians because they are very good like your song.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
