Hello All,

I'm looking for a simple, all EV 8 piano like from the old 50s tunes. Have checked RTs, Super midi and tried searching midi styles but am probably not entering the proper search terminology.

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Percy

Probably, as I'd gladly help you but from the description given I have no idea what you're asking for.

What exactly is for you an "EV 8 piano"?

Lt,

Even 8 piano would be something like the beginning of Elton John's Crocodile Rock where the piano is playing a chord on every up and down beat of every quarter note.

I can't think of any other specific examples; brain freeze. lol.

Seeker,

Thanks a lot; I'll check out the user tracks.

EV 8 refers to a description of a style: even eighth notes (as opposed to swing, or 16th notes)

Oh, I see. I'm too much of a gearhead. EV, for me, meant "Electro Voice". LOL!

Matt, thank you for the definition.

Yours very truly,

PS: Still enjoying "Brazilian Wish". wink

Try a Fats Domino midi style or some of the New Orleans styles.

Hey Jim,

Thanks for your suggestions. I originally checked out the New Orleans styles and they were just too busy for my present project.

I found a midi file that played the same basic EV 8 piano pattern over all the chords -just a typical 50s chord progression- and created a style from it.

My original post wasn't very clear.

I did a quick search in the style picker for "Crocodile Rock" and got several matches that may be close to what you are looking for (I didn't have time to check them out myself):

=LYNY_GR.STY. Stadium, w/ res.guit (120 RT)
=LYNYR_G.STY. Sthrn Stadium, ac.guit (120 RT)
=LYNYR_R.STY. Sthrn Stadium, res.guit (120 RT)
LYNYRD1.STY. Lynyrd1 - Bright southern stadium rock

Hello Ed,

The LYNRYD1 style is pretty close to what I'm looking for. I did a search for crocodile rock; don't know how I missed them all.

Sometimes when I search, the cursor doesn't always end up at the top to search all styles.

Many thanks to you and everyone else for their timely suggestions.

What a forum !

Percy

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!

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."
