Build 326 of Band-in-a-Box 2011.5 available http://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#326This patch will update Band-in-a-Box to Version 2011.5 build 326 from any 2011.5 build. It must be installed into your existing Band-in-a-Box 2011.5 folder. This is considered a beta update because it is new. The most recent shipping build is 325. You need to have both Band-in-a-Box and Band-in-a-Box Server closed prior to installing this update. Band-in-a-Box Server is the process that interacts with remote apps. To close it, right click on the icon (white and green musical note) in your task bar (bottom-right of your computer screen) and select Exit. Note: If you are updating a hard drive edition of Band-in-a-Box, be sure to select the correct destination directory - either X:\bb (where X is your USB drive letter) or X:\PGMusic\Programs\bb if the hard drive was purchased prior to September 2009. Summary of Changes for Build 326 (July 28, 2011) Added: StylePicker Text Filter added. Filter the list of styles by any text string. Multiple terms allowed. e.g.: Bossa guitar <----- styles with bossa and instrument=guitar in them Guitar Brent <----- styles that have artist=Brent Mason Jazz Trio Oliver <----- trios with Oliver Gannon Fixed: Help Menu item to Run Upgrade Manual, and Run Manual fixed to 2011_5 Added: RealDrums Artist now displayed in style memo in stylepicker Added: Drums countin added on styles that don't have drums, but use RealTracks on the drums track (e.g. Bluegrass). Summary of Changes for Build 325 (July 25, 2011) General maintenance patch. Miscellaneous fixes related to RealTracks Sets 122-136. Added: Band-in-a-Box 2011.5 full User Guide. Updated: StylePicker list updated. Fixed: Some organ shots and holds didn't work. Updated: A couple of styles in the RealDrums Picker didn't display properly. If you encounter a problem or have a concern with any of the features in Band-in-a-Box, do not hesitate to contact us. Updated July 28, 2011
Have Fun!

This is great stuff, Peter -- appreciated.
But still no fix for the Conductor midi keyboard control bug. See Kent for details.
Thanks.

Installed the beta and found the filter to perform well. This is a major step forward. With all the content upgrades to Real Tracks I hope to see continued development of search tools down to the individual instrument level - perhaps integrating style and instruments into a single tool.
Great to find a company that listens and responds so quickly to customer needs.

The new filter is really useful, thanks Peter!
Would it be possible adding the same filter to the Soloist Picker Window? Actually is the only one that not have such a filter, and each time I'm going to select a soloist, I go to the "RT picker Window", make the search there, write down the desired RT number, and locate it by its number in the Soloist picker window.
Thanks again
BIAB 2024, latest build.

I have just installed Build 326 and I am a little disappointed with the style filter.
It does not display any third party styles if you filter the "All Styles" category and only a few of the third party styles if you select "Other Syles Found" while filtering.
I have hundreds of Norton, Hawkesford and LR styles and the only way to get the filter to work for these styles is to select each third party category separately.
I realize this is something to do with the .LST and .LS3 files etc and I could spend time editing these text files but would it possible for the filter to search all these relevent files at the same time?
While I am on the subject of the style list here is a question I have asked several times before. Why does the "other styles" category, list every "other" file twice? This has happened over several BIAB versions. The "a_found.ls3" text file has them listed twice so I tried deleting this file but BIAB keeps regenerating it with everything duplicated every time.
Thanks
Tony

=====================
Third party styles are supported, and the search filter works for them. You are referring to the category "All Styles", which is a list of all PG Music styles. Perhaps the maker of your third party styles would make a single category for you in a .ls3 style, that would be "All X styles", where X is the name of the vendor. Then at least you would see them in a single list.
Not sure why you see styles listed twice in the other styles, mine just get listed once.
Have Fun!

Thanks Peter
I was hoping for a search filter that would automatically look at every style file in the BB folder rather than having to first click on the PG "All Styles" category plus each third party category in the stylepicker. I guess I'll have to do the work and create my own an "All third party styles" category ls3 file.
I still don't understand why "other styles found" lists every style twice on my two computers running XP and Win7. I will solve it eventually.

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."
