The Killer Jazz Waltz generate professional, innovative solos for the most sophisticated jazz waltzes. There's also a soloist for more straight-ahead pop/older style 3/4 time standards. The Jazz Fusion soloists add jazz and rock soloists with exciting shuffle 16th solos in the style of Steely D., Spyro G., & Grover W.
This set features soloing databases and soloists for such styles as pop, funk, classical and more! With over 10 Mb of files and over five times the intelligence of previous soloists, Soloist Set 7 takes Band-in-a-Box to the edge and beyond.
These soloists play authentic Bluegrass Solos on banjo, flatpick guitar, mandolin, fiddle and piano. Combined with our Bluegrass styles (eg. Jethro), you'll have a full 5 piece Bluegrass band playing leads to any song that you type in the chords to. Generate a new and authentic Bluegrass solo every time! Type in the chords to your 'Bill Monroe' favorite, pick the Jethro style, and press the SOLO button. You'll have a 5 piece Bluegrass band playing rhythm and trading hot licks - the place will be hoppin'. And it took you less than a minute to enter the chords! The soloists can stay on one instrument, or switch among the 5 Bluegrass instruments every 4, 8 or 32 bars - just like a real Bluegrass band!
You can purchase this cheaper interface and it can do the same. Only difference is it has less features and midi ports. --iconnectivity-mio2-2x2-midi-interface
You can set up these interfaces to connect to a wifi router and then connect the ipad to the router wirelessly and send mid that way. I just prefer the cable for reliability.
In Onsong, when you have your song pulled up, you just click on the little Pencil icon to go into edit mode for the song then click on the Metadata icon (the i in the circle). then scroll down to Midi - Send.
Just add in the commands you want in order and then save the song. Also, you might need to set a few midi settings in your global settings.
Information on the Onsong site can help you with anything else you need to get going.
Onsong is a must have for me as I play in a variety cover band that follows the set list for a while and then we pick songs from random all over the place. Then instead of swiping, I can still scroll quickly to find what I need. Otherwise I would be doing a lot of tap dancing to get set up.
P.S Midi Solution products are good if your midi chain starts to get too complicated and you need something to clean your signal up. --midi-solutions-multivoltage-quadra-thru-1-in-4-out-midi-through-box
Music notepad by apple does something similar by audio. Garageband drummer also could pursue an audio track and play based on that.
Beatseeker m4l plug can do it realtime from audio too.
Band-in-a-box probably too since my digitech trio+ has technology from it and can do it too (it needs to learn the phrase first but pukes bass and drum like music notepad)
Ahoy the forum from the coast of Maine.
I haven't played out solo or in a band for decades (agreed, that's way too long!), but I'm starting to get the "itch" to get back into it -- for the challenge & fun, not for the money. I'm curious what you all think about the number of songs needed for a 3-hour solo gig playing background music (solo piano, or maybe with a 2nd board for pads & synths) during a brunch, lunch or dinner at an upscale brew pub or pub-style restaurant.
At 4 minutes per song, that's 15 X 3 or 45 songs, but I'm thinking I'll have twice that number for sure to change up the mix based on the clientele, or to allow for a few requests of styles/groups/songs. Some of you might have 2 to 4X that many songs already memorized; or possibly even more songs, if one used some lead sheets on an iPad.
Any thoughts on the number of songs, and the use of an iPad/lead sheets to expand your playlist for this type of gig?
Thanks in advance.

As an aside, I've loved the coast of Maine when I've visited. Hoping to do the reverse retirement and leave Florida for somewhere in New England at some point
Our guitarist does solo gigs but these are guitar and vocals. He sometimes does a 3-4 hr solo gig and then has to rush to do a band gig where he then sings a lot more (even though we will tell him to lay back, especially with any harmonies.) I've done two gigs in one day but man I feel it when I do and my voice is usually shot.
He has started doing more looper stuff with soloing, partly to give his voice a break.
I have maybe 3-4 songs with midi backing tracks I use, mainly for some upbeat pop covers. Otherwise, I bring an electronic kick drum pedal with a drum module and use that for some tunes as well - once you get the timing down, it can add a lot.
I ask you to keep in mind that the midi is a robotic, soulless recitation of the notes. Inflection and style go a long way in making notes sound like music. That said, what might sound like inaccuracies may simply be the nature of the emotional deadness of the midi. (The solo is also available in PDF form on our Sheet Music page.)
The solo begins with a four bar break, so there is no specific chord. The implied tonality, though, is Am, which is the chord the band played on the downbeat of the break as it dropped out. Honda chooses to stay well within the confines of Am, playing a lick based loosely on A pentatonic (much of the song is rooted firmly in A blues, a closely related scale). He begins with what is arguably one of the more exciting passages of the solo, hitting and holding an altissimo A, considered to be one of the more difficult altissimo notes to play consistently despite not being very high (revision made). He throws in a bit of blues as he plays an Eb as an upper auxiliary tone to the D, which leads to the C in Section N.
