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….. Last edited by ThomasS; 12/30/23 11:01 AM.

Well done. https://soundcloud.com/user-646279677 BiaB 2025 Windows 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.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
