Happy Monday!
I've been listening to (biab2016) WMA demo files while doing busy work. Kinda fun! So now I'm wondering

(1) if there is a style associated with this demo track, and if so,
(2) how could I locate its STY filename given this WMA demo file:

\bb\MIDI SuperTracks - Demos\Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065 #1805 band.wma

I've come up empty after directory file searches, and Style Picker searches. Thanks for any insight.

You'll like it.

Also, as the 2017 version introduced the new GUI, you'll have a bit of getting used to. Just remember Ctrl+T until you adapt to the new interface.

That's not a demo for a Style, it's for a MIDI SuperTrack (Synth Pad, PopBelieve Ev16 065), which can be located by clicking the MIDI Tracks button, then MIDI SuperTracks.

That SuperTrack is part of MIDI SuperTracks set 1 (confirmed by checking this page: http://www.pgmusic.com/addons.supertracks.php?os=win). There's no easy way to find out which set a SuperTrack is from by looking in BIAB, but I'll submit that as a feature request.

If you open the StylePicker and click on the Other drop-down menu up top, you can filter the list to only show styles that use SuperTracks from a specific set. If you select set 1 and try the different styles, you should find one that's fairly similar.

So there's no simple way to find a style from a random demo WMA you found in the BB folder, but can usually narrow down your options by looking at the folder and file names, and using the filters in the StylePicker.

Cheers

Thank you Kent, for that very detailed answer. I've been digging into the MIDI SuperTracks, and really appreciate them.

More importantly, when I get a few minutes to rub together, I am very much looking forward to installing/copying BIAB 2018 to my HDD, replacing the 2016 version I've been limping along with.

Happy Holidays!
Ken

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.
