Hi
I am an old BIAB user but have not used the software in years. I have not updated lately and I am running 2014 version. But now I am back in business. I am trying to put systems up and running again.
My gear: Windows PC, Windows version 10, external sound card Roland Quad Capture, external Korg 05R/W synthesizer, Roland MIDI keyboard, active speakers.
Cables: From MIDI keyboard MIDI out goes to sound card MIDI in. From sound card MIDI out goes cable to Korg MIDI in.
MIDI options of BIAB: Using Roland Quad Capture
PROBLEM: If I play keyboard the impulse goes to Korg as there is a light that is blinking at the same time. So the cables should be ok. But there is a sound of a guitar. The front panel of Korg says "Piano". I clicekd "New track" on BIAB. there are 3 instruments active, bass, piano and drums. There is no "guitar" chosen.
This is very basic but I am stuck with this. I want to hear the sound of a piano when I use the keyboard. This is probably a "melody track" problem. Any ideas?
Matti

Hi Matti,
Try changing the MIDI patch (i.e. sound) to piano on the "Thru" track. See if this helps.
Regards,
Noel

Could this be a hint:
"""
GM (General MIDI) is also present, as a bank in the PROG section. The sounds starting with the letter "G" follow the GM protocol and can be used with thousands of available MIDI files.
"""
If your selected bank is not the GM bank, could it be that the Korg is finding the guitar in another bank?
My Kawai defaults to non-GM, so I see this issue.
Jazz relative beginner, starting at a much older age than was helpful.
Kawai MP6, Korg M50, Ui24R, Saffire Pro 40.

Under the Support Tab at the top of this page, you'll find something called 'Patch Maps.' Download the Korg 05R/W '.pat' file and load it into the BB directory on your computer.
It's been so long since I've used BIAB 2014, but there should be a way to load patch files, you may need to consult your documentation. In the current version, if you right click on any of the instrument parts (at the very top), you can select something called 'Select Patch' or something like that. I'd have to go back and look up the documentation for exactly how to do it. That way, you'll be able to access all your higher banks from within BIAB, and get exactly the sound you're looking for.
Also, make sure that you're sending on the proper channels.
Try this and get back to us.

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

Regards,
Noel I found the Thru track and could change the instrument easily. Thank you all for your comments.

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.

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.
