Hallo,

Ik heb BIAB voor mac met alle realtracks een aantal dagen geleden aangeschaft. Ik wil graag BIAB synchroniseren met Logic (pro 8). Ik heb van alles geprobeerd, ik heb de handleidingen van beide programma's uitgeplozen, maar het lukt me niet. Ik begrijp dat BIAB alleen als master gebruikt kan worden. Ik zie dat er midi informatie in Logic komt, maar wanneer de muziek speelt in BIAB gebeurt er verder niets in Logic. Benieuwd of iemand een oplossing weet.

Vriendelijke groeten,

Fons Stam

Hier zijn een aantal vragen en antwoorden van de (Engelstalige) FAQ Frequently Asked Questions:

49. Can I sync Band-in-a-Box to an external MIDI source?
Band-in-a-Box can only act as a 'master' by sending a simple 'song start' and 'song stop' message, and it also sends MIDI Timing Clock. It will send the sync info as long as 'Output sync/start info' is checked in Opt. | Preferences | MIDI Options. One other thing you can do is get Band-in-a-Box to wait until it receives a MIDI note or pedal, or you press a key on your computer (qwerty) keyboard. This feature is found in Opt. | Preferences - 'Pause play until MIDI or key received'.
For additional MIDI sync features, you could open your Band-in-a-Box file into RealBand (or PowerTracks Pro Audio), which is a dedicated MIDI sequencer. There is more information about those features in this FAQ topic below.

67. How do I synchronize PowerTracks/RealBand with another MIDI device?
Sometimes it is necessary to synchronize a MIDI sequencer such as PowerTracks Pro Audio with another MIDI device so that they start at the same time, play at the same tempo, stop at the same time, and so on. A MIDI sequencer can control playback timing by sending certain MIDI timing messages to another device. The other device receives the messages and adjusts its playback accordingly so that the two stay in sync. The device that sends the MIDI messages is known as the "master". The other device is know as the "slave". There are a few different types of MIDI messages that are used. Here are some useful definitions.
SMPTE: Pronounced "Simtee". This is a standard time code developed by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. It uses the format hh:mm:ss:ff (hours, minutes, seconds, frames).
MTC (MIDI Time Code): This is a MIDI message used to synchronize playback between MIDI devices. It controls timing by specifying the exact location from the beginning of the song. The timing data is similar to SMPTE.
MIDI Clock: This is a MIDI message used to synchronize MIDI devices by controlling the playback rate (tempo). Unlike MTC it does not use a time code to specify the exact location from the beginning of the song.
SSP (Song Position Pointer): This is a MIDI message that tells a slave where to start playing (Position).
MIDI Start/Stop: MIDI Start and MIDI Stop messages tell a slave to start or stop playback.
MIDI Continue: This is similar to MIDI Start, but is used to start playback in the middle of a song.
To use PowerTracks as a slave, select one of the following from the Options | Sync Source menu.:
• MIDI Sync: This will allow PowerTracks to respond to MIDI Clock and Song Position Pointer.
• MTC/SMPTE: This will allow PowerTracks to respond to MIDI Time Code.
When you press Play with either of these options selected, PowerTracks will wait for the appropriate MIDI sync message from the other MIDI unit before starting playback.
To use PowerTracks as a master, go to the Options | MIDI Out dialog and enable one or more of the following settings:
• Send MIDI SPP: If checked, PowerTracks will send Song Position Pointer.
• Send Realtime messages: If checked, PowerTracks will send MIDI Clock, and also MIDI Start, Stop, and Continue messages.
• Send MIDI Time Code: If checked, PowerTracks will send MIDI Time Code.
For more information on the settings in this dialog, click the Help button.
If you are having any trouble, you may need to consult the documentation for your other MIDI device to find out how it receives and sends these MIDI messages.

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."
