More than samples, they are full recordings from 1 to 8 bars which perfectly sync with other Band-in-a-Box tracks, giving your song ideas a more realistic feel. They will instinctively adjust to changes in tempo/volume and you can even add third party WAV files or create styles that control fills/post-fills/pattern lengths/substyles, etc.Other enhanced features include MP3/WVA/WMA generation; Audio Chord Wizard which can analyze an audio file and figure out the chords for you; "Reharmonist", which generates chord progressions in the genre you choose for all or part of a song; auto-memo generation; a melody influenced soloist that allows you to choose how much the melody will influence the pitch, rhythm, note density and more of the solo; and a Soundtrack Generator for producing original music that you can tweak to fit any style of film or video. You also get support for TranzPort a wireless remote control that works up to 30 feet away so you can work on a piano while cueing up your "virtual bandmates". Improvements have been made to the notation, audio dialog, practice, and chord functions, as well as better DXi features.
