LAPC.DK Help File
Loading in the file LAPC.DK will setup Band-in-a-Box for the Roland LAPC
multi-timbral synthesizer module as well as the Roland CM64(in the LA part
of it i.e. midi channels 2-10). It will setup:
1. Drum #'s for the LAPC and CM series.
2. Patch Map (assigned to factory settings of the LAPC,CM64-LA section)
3. Startup Patches and Channels in the Midi Settings Window.
A Few Key Points to Know About the LAPC:
String Patches are generally too loud so you might want to adjust the
volume of the String channel to your liking and save it to a MYSETUP.DK
file. That way,everytime you load Band-in-a-Box,your LAPC settings will be
intact.
At times you may detect some sounds being 'choked' or notes being cut off
while a style is playing.The reason for this is that the LAPC has a certain
amount of notes that can be played at once and the other is in the way their
sounds are made up. The sounds are made up of 'partials'.Some sounds use 1
or 2 of these partials while others can have up to 4;the latter being very
complex sounds such as "Warm Bell".When too many of these complex sounds are
occurring at once,it's too much for the LAPC to handle so it starts to get
'choked'. There is also only a certain number of notes that can be played at
once so either of these two things can be happening.The best solutions we
can recommend are:
a) Mute an instrument such as Strings(usually 4 partial sounds),
or b) Select alternative sounds that would be less of a problem.
Once you've loaded LAPC.DK, you are ready to start having fun with Band-
in-a-Box!
Have Fun!
