You will need the 32bit VST for PG You can also download the MIDI Mapping - Presets to send to any other Drum Kit. Go to the Bottom of this page: http://www.powerdrumkit.com/download.htm
You can make the whole track up in the VSTi then drag into Realband, if it needs to be changed just Delete the track in RB and drag n drop again. You can't drop one section in at a time as RB panics if it is midi type 0
32bit Windows copy asiodxfd.dll file to C:\Windows\System32 goto C:\Windows\System32 click on cmd.exe at prompt right click paste RegSvr32 asiodxfd.dll Enter
64bit Windows copy asiodxfd.dll file to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 goto C:\Windows\SysWOW64 right click on cmd.exe run as admin at prompt right click paste RegSvr32 asiodxfd.dll Enter
In your Audio Preferences > Audio Driver Type MME, ASIO choose ASIO > Drivers > ASIO DirectX In the ASIO Drivers Control Panel choose you Inputs n Outputs.
Edit: You can also use it as a standalone, just get VSTHost 64 or 32 File > New Plugin and set the Tempo up the top to same as RB. You can then download the 64 bit MT Power Drums if you are on 64 bit machine.
RB panics when you drop another type 0 midi in the same track (until PG fix it) so the midi files just need to be converted from type 0 to type 1. The easiest way to do this on the fly is with Sweet Midi Converter just set it to output to Type 1 and set an output folder, list folder details by Date so the latest one will go to the top. Drag the midi from VSTHost Standalone to Sweet Midi Converter, click convert, click new, set RB to Snap to Beat, drag file from output folder into RB with the track set to MT Power Drums VSTi. This should work with others like MusicLab RealGuitar.
You can use this also NAudio_MIDI_File_Converter.zip it's free, it will convert the the folder you drag the grooves to to another destination folder that you can drag into RB but you will then have to move the finished files out as it will only convert to an empty folder. It will also convert EZD 1 Library to midi type 1 so it will work with drag n drop in RB.
That is nice of you to share your insight about downloading and installing the program.
Neat program. Especially like the price. I think I'm going to have to play with it before I'll be able to use it. First time I've tried to use a VSTi program inside RealBand and sometimes I get sound and sometimes I don't.

The zip file includes a text file with the key they told me I could publicly share. Then you have to unzip the install file.
It's basically a drum sample player that allows you to set up a kit of samples and then play them back via regular drum MIDI data with a mixer for each drum.
Each 'track' is assigned a sound (wav) and note #, then you can start tinkering with the mixer and other features. Limiting part is that each instance only holds 8 'tracks' or different drums. In RB you can run more than one instance of a plugin though, so that may help. Decent description here - http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/feb01/articles/fxpansion.asp
Using samples of Realdrum drums (and Realdrum tracks) you can sometimes use this to mix in the drums you want pretty easily.

Make your sound your own! .. I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
