Feature request MIDI channel in Mixer for VSTs

This threw me, I thought maybe the VST's output on "any" (all) channels, but no, the MIDI channel for the VST output has to be set to correspond with BIAB . If it were visible on the mixer, (most mixers do this) I think this could help a lot of people.

I think this is what you are looking for. But otherwise I agree. This info is not intuitive or easy to locate at times.

Hi,

You don't need to memorize these channel numbers in newer versions. If I add a VSTi to say, my guitar track, and the VSTi is listening for note input on channel 1, I can select "Forced MIDI Channel = 1" in the plugins window, and any notes going to that track will be converted to channel 1 before hitting my synth.

Since that feature was added, the channels used by the different tracks became almost irrelevant. smile

Thanks
Kent

Kent,
I tried that using Keyscape, it did not work. The dialogue box above did. Keyscape does not work here either, it behaves weirdly, when I press chords down and make runs it cuts notes off.
Across several versions, and two PCs, I have had so many problems with VSTs that I have had to give up. I still have to run my keyboard/sounds outside of BIAB and thus cannot record.

The whole experience could be a lot easier, in other sequencers it simply works first time, you can see and set the channel easier either in the mixer or the track, it's not hidden

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.
