Hi Guys,
Can someone check if F8 brings up the new MultiRiff window on your PC, before I report it.
Not working for me.
Cheers smile

Thanks for checking.
I'm using it on a MAC via Parallels so that might be messing with the Function Keys in Windows.

Good to report it. Several Windows keys were apparently remapped.

Running Windows versions via Parallels, Bootcamp, or other similar setups can cause some unreproducible problems that are hard to troubleshoot. This isn't necessarily a Band-in-a-Box thing, but it's behaviour I've experienced using things like that before where shortcuts don't line up, do different things, or just don't work. So it's entirely possible this is due to running it via Parallels on your Mac machine. Parallels actually in specific put out a blog post about this particular issue where you can do some additional setup to get your virtual Windows setup hotkeys working the way you want them to. If you haven't done this, it may be worth checking out and trying!

Does PG have any sort of guidance to offer Mac/Parallels users? I realize it isn't your responsibility to QA your product on virtualized platforms, but I'm wondering if the sense is "effectively the same, apart from minor hardware-related differences like keyboard stuff" or "doesn't work reliably for anyone".

Great news. Please consider opening your original post and marking it 'Resolved' (there's a button for that), as this can assist others in the future.

The keyboard mapping has not been set properly.
Resolution
NOTE: If you are using a new MacBook Pro (Late 2016) with Touch Bar, use Fn key to display function keys on the Touch Bar while using Parallels virtual machine.
If you want function keys being displayed on Touch Bar by default, please refer to this article.
1. Make sure Parallels Tools are installed in your Virtual Machine. Install or reinstall Parallels Tools if necessary.
2. Open System Preferences on Mac ? Keyboard and enable the option: Use all F1, F2, etc. as standard function keys.
3. Open Parallels Desktop Preferences and go to Shortcuts tab ? OS X System Shortcuts. From Send OS X system shortcuts drop-down list chose Auto to pass shortcuts into the virtual machine only when it is in focus or Always to always pass shortcuts into the virtual vachine

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.

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."
