How do I turn on the sound of the notation mode editing as I'm moving from note to note?

Thank you

Not sure what you mean by "moving from note to note". If you mean by holding ctrl-arrow, it plays for me. If I mute the track, it doesn't.

Hello,

These are played automatically with the MIDI Output driver, even if you have a DXi Synth enabled, so if this is checked and you're not hearing them, please check your MIDI Output Driver (and associated volume in the mixer if in Windows XP), try setting it to GS Wavetable for example.

Hope that helps,
Will

You have to be using ASIO for it to work.

I should add to what John said to give the complete picture.

If you're using ASIO (with ASIO Always On checked), Using Ctrl+arrows in the notation window will actually use your DXi Synth if you have one enabled instead of your MIDI Output Driver. If you're using ASIO without ASIO Always On checked or MME, Band in a Box will use your MIDI Output Driver instead (when the song is not playing).

It will work with MME if your MIDI Output Driver is working, it's working fine with MME on my system.

Thanks,
Will

That's right. I forgot I don't have any output driver.

You don't by any chance mean the 'scrub mode'. The help file gets you to second base here.

Thanks guys.

The correct answer was...

drum roll...

enter "Microsoft GS Wavetable" in the synthesizer/sound card field in the Preferences/MIDI Driver tab.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
