This is a general maintenance patch for RealTracks, RealDrums, and MIDI SuperTracks. It includes all of the recent fixes and enhancements that we've made to files shipped in 2013 and 2014. Some of the main fixes are listed below. We've also added "Simple" variations to hundreds more previously released RealTracks. RealTracks Patch - April 15 2014 - Improved: The RealCharts for the <Guitar, Electric, Soloist CountryWaltzBrent Sw 085> RealTracks style have been enhanced, with greater accuracy as well as indication of bent notes.
- Improved: The MIDI data for MIDI SuperTracks:
Piano, Rhythm CountrySwing Sw 08
Piano, Rhythm CountryBoogie Sw 110
Piano, Rhythm CountryBoogie Sw 140
Piano, Rhythm CountrySwing Sw 110
Piano, Rhythm CountrySwing Sw 140
Piano, Rhythm CountryWaltz Sw 085
Piano, Rhythm CountryWaltz Sw 110
Piano, Rhythm CountryWaltz Sw 140
Piano, Rhythm MemphisSwing Sw 190
- These had extra notes and overlapping MIDI data. This has been corrected so when the MIDI SuperTrack is played extra notes will no longer be heard and the volume of the track will stay consistent.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Guitar, Acoustic, Fingerpicking Ev 085> sometimes played a minor ending a step lower than requested.
- Fixed: The RealCharts for the <Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockStraight Ev 120> RealTracks style did not previously disply at all. They now display for notation and TAB.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockShuffle Sw 130> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm TexasBluesRockShuffle Sw 130> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockFunky Ev16 090> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Bass, Electric, BluesRock Sw 140> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockNRoll Ev 165> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression.
- Fixed: The RealTrackS <Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BluesRockCrispA-B Sw 140>, <Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BluesRockCrispSync Sw 140>, and <Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BluesRockCrispSteady Sw 140> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BluesRockFuzzy Sw 140> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Bass, Electric, Blues Sw 120> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockHighA-B Ev 165> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBluesRockHighA-B Ev 165> sometimes played a turn-around pattern in the middle of a 12-bar blues progression, and not playing some slash chords properly.
- Fixed: For RealTracks Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopUpliftSyncMuted Ev16 120, Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopUpliftSyncDistorted Ev16 120 and Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopUpliftSyncA-B Ev16 120 the A and B variations were not being implemented correctly. Now when an A section or B section is selected, only that variation will play.
- Improved: The RealTrack <Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockShuffle Sw 130> now has a better variety of major and minor triad bars available.
- Fixed: Bass, Acoustic, Jazz Waltz Sw 110 was previously playing incorrect long held notes in the middle of songs. It also now has a greater variety of ending.
- Improved: Guitar, Electric, Rhythm RootsRockTremolo Ev 100 Several riffs included an incorrect chord. These incorrect riffs have been removed.
- Improved: The RealDrums JazzBrushesWaltz will no longer select improper patterns when played at a tempo of 85 BPM. The playing should now be continuous throughout.
- Improved: The RealTracks style Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm PopWaltz Ev 180 now has correct notation data.
- Improved: The RealTracks style Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Ev 120 now has better sounding endings.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Guitar, Electric, Rhythm PopBalladClean Ev 085> sometimes played maug chord (minor augmented) instead of m chord (minor).
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzBallad Sw 110> was playing at the wrong tempo.
- Improved: The RealTrack <Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085> now has more accurate RealCharts.
- Improved: The RealTrack <Bass, Acoustic, GypsyJazzFast Sw 250> was previously playing out of time, this issue has been fixed.
- Improved: The RealTrack <Guitar, Acoustic, Strumming Hank Sw 120> was previously playing endings instead of normal chords in some instances. This has been fixed.
- Fixed: The RealTrack <Guitar, Electric, Rhythm CountryBoogieCleanA-B Sw 110> was previously playing an F chord instead of an E chord in some instances.

Thanks Andrew for the update
Presumably these patches/amendments relate to the non-Audiophile version, and that there might be a future release for the Audiophile version?
The information in the link states: "Audiophile edition users can install the regular patches, or you may wish to download the separate (larger) update patch which will update the uncompressed audio files if needed."
However, I could not find a recent link to download the Audiophile versions.
Regards

Thank you very much Andrew. I take it this update doesn't include the offline demoes of styles or realtracks) that we have to be connected to the internet to audition, and I believe Dr Gannon passed on to you to make an installer for a few weeks ago.
Thanks again,
Musiclover

No, it doesn't include those. We do plan on making a download available for the complete set of files, though it will be a fairly large download - a few GB. It should be available within a couple days.

Thank you very much Andrew, having those demo files on the computer will make it great for people who don't want to connect to internet.

Sorry, but I do not understand the audiophile instructions.
In the latest update 'RealTracks Update (April 15-2014)' it says, "Audiophile editon users can install the regular patches, or you may wish to download the separate (larger) update patch which will update the uncompressed audio files if needed."
Is the separate (larger) update patch part of this update and if so where is it? Or is it coming later?
If I purchased Band-in-a-Box 2014 Audiophile on a separate disc drive when it first came out, do I need to update Audiophile RealTracks at all?

I usually like to be able to verify that a new patch was installed, however, in the Help-about- there is no change to version numbers. Is that any indication marker to confirm the patch took?

I would like to know this as well.

However, I could not find a recent link to download the Audiophile versions. Thanks, we will clarify that. No audio files are updated so a separate audiophile patch isn't needed. Unfortunately, I (and others apparently) don't understand. The Download Page clearly states: "Audiophile editon(sic) users can install the regular patches, or you may wish to download the separate (larger) update patch which will update the uncompressed audio files if needed." And the reply above states: "No audio files are updated so a separate audiophile patch isn't needed." These two statements appear to be contradictory, to me anyway. And where do we find the "separate (larger) update patch"?

An audiophile specific download is not required for this update patch. The same patch is for both regular and audiophile versions. Sorry for any confusion.

Andrew - I've updated all of the patches, but am still getting the "No demo for this style" error message on a bunch of styles. Is there a fix for this in the works? (v.2014 - Audiophile) Thanks, Bob

Andrew - I'm still getting the "no demos" message on a lot of styles. It's very frustrating!
