keywords: 50's rock shuffle MIDI Band-in-a-Box live sequence
Big Bopper
MIDI file type 1
w/percussion for multitimbral synth
Band-in-a-Box format file also included
3-3-95 MIDI sequence by Dave Butler
(phila/germantown amateur mandolin & piano player)
using Band-in-Box Pro Win 6.03
SHUFROCK2.STY shuffle rock style
key sig: F
play time: 5:56
long play-along version --
every other chorus omits melody
live sequence on channel 4 was recorded
at tempo 130, in several takes,
walking bass in left hand closely
following published arrangement,
right hand improvising,
no quantizing, some overdubbing,
few or no corrections:
ch track voice
4 melody 02 bright piano
BIAB-generated accompaniment is in a standard
BIAB style, not customized, has a
non-quantized "live" feel, including:
ch track voice
10 percussion 01 standard drums
2 bass 68 baritone sax
3 piano 27 jazz electric guitar
7 guitar (not used)
8 horns (not used)
6 strings (not used)
I use BIAB to create a rough draft which might
be refined later w/ a sequencer like Cakewalk
which can handle editing like pause & slow down.
usually I add extra choruses, omitting melody
on every other chorus, for a 5-10 minute jam
which i'll accompany on mandolin.
this is a rough sequence created in an hour or so.
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.
