I created a tune on BIAB. Opened the tune in RB. Then used the Plug-in mode to drop the tracks into Sonar X2. The drag and drop worked fine. However, when listening to the tracks, one of the tracks, the Synth String track, only ONE note of the five notes played by the Synth Strings plays. I'm not sure if only one note dropped into Sonar. Or, if only one note from the synth string chord is playing. I repeated the drag and drop procedure a few times--same result. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Ralph Anthony

It could be because the synth is using midi and the track or synth is set up for each note of a chord to be output to a seperate channel. In other words the style maybe treating the synth output like it is a guitar output.

Check your global preferences or song settings to see if "output guitar to six strings" is set and uncheck it.

I'm sorry I can't tell you the setting location but I'm on my tablet and not near my computer.

you should be able to tell very quickly if only one note migrated to sonar by looking at your strings track in piano roll view. If all of the notes are present, then it isn't a drag n drop problem. In that case it would probably be something in your Sonar settings.

On the other hand, if you examine the track in PRV and indeed there is only one note for each chord, you should notify PGMusic support.

That Synth String track could possibly be set up in bb using the bb MIDI harmonies engine on the Melody Track. The engine is driven by a single note.

See the bb FAQs page or the internal Help file for how to export a Harmony track and get all notes of the Harmony Engine in it.

Yes, set the audio driver to MME and try. That is the only thing that worked for me.

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

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

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!

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."
