Creating a Band

When designing bands, you have a choice of modifying an existing band or creating a new band. Working with an existing band has some advantages because some instruments and properties do not have to be set again. If you choose to modify an existing band in the project tree, use the Save As command to save the modified band in the project tree under a new name.

An existing band might have more PChannels activated than you intend to use in the new band. For this reason, you may prefer to create a new band based on the Default New Band, in which all PChannels are inactive. As you modify the settings for PChannels in Band Editor, the channels are activated.
