Hi everyone! Hope someone can offer some assistance. Whenever I fire up my BiaB 2013 program, I get an error message saying “Warning- your drum kit has no bass drum note assigned”. When, I close the box, it throws up another box saying the same thing, just changed to “Snare”, then “closed Hi Hat”, “open Hi Hat”… I have to go through this each time before I can use the program.
Unfortunately, I have to go through the same patten when I close out the program. The real drums work fine, so I’m pretty sure (I think) it’s a midi issue. Ideas? Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Clicking on the Opt menu, then Return To Factory Settings should fix it.

Another method would be to hit Opt - MIDI/Audio Driver Setup, and change the selection in the Synthesizer/Sound Card drop-down menu. Click Ok, and you'll be asked if you want to install drum notes, click Yes.

Then go back to Opt - MIDI/Audio Driver Setup, change the Synthesizer/Sound Card selection back to General MIDI, click Ok, and then Yes again.

Thanks
Kent

From the Band in a Box Technical FAQ page:

Quote:

102. Error message: "Your current drum kit has no bass drum note assigned".

Symptoms

You get one of the following error messages when you try to play a song:

"Warning: Your current drum kit has no bass drum note assigned".

"Warning: Your current drum kit has no snare drum note assigned".

Solution

One possibility is that you have modified your drum kit, but you did not assign a MIDI note number to one or more of the drum sounds. Go to Opt. | Preferences | Drum Kit, and check to make sure that none of the drum sounds have been assigned to "0". For General MIDI drum kit definitions, the default note number for the Bass drums is 35, and the default note number for the Snare drums is 38. Assuming that you are not using a non-General MIDI synth, you can set the bass and snare drums to those values.

Another way to resolve the problem is to close Band-in-a-Box and delete the file MySetup.dk from your Band-in-a-Box folder (usually C:\bb). Note that this will return some settings back to factory defaults. See this FAQ topic for information on which settings are affected by this file. If you have previously modified/customized any of these settings, you should make a backup of your .dk file before deleting it.

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.
