Hi Debby,

BiaB has built in feature called, "Pause Play until MIDI Received" -- one checkbox, no need to pour through kayboard menus or use aftermarket softwares at all.

From the Band in a Box FAQ page:

49. Can I sync Band-in-a-Box to an external MIDI source?

Band-in-a-Box can only act as a 'master' by sending a simple 'song start' and 'song stop' message, and it also sends MIDI Timing Clock. It will send the sync info as long as 'Output sync/start info' is checked in Opt. | Preferences | MIDI Options. One other thing you can do is get Band-in-a-Box to wait until it receives a MIDI note or pedal, or you press a key on your computer (qwerty) keyboard. This feature is found in Opt. | Preferences - 'Pause play until MIDI or key received'.




And that one checkbox should do the trick, you can load a BB song and hit Play, - But the program will wait until it receives some sort of MIDI message from your keyboard before it starts. Works with the Sustain Pedal here, as well as just hitting any MIDI key once.

Have Fun,
