Everything worked fine with all my previous versions of RealBand but since I upgraded to the 2015 version my songs that are SEQ files don't send the correct instrument settings to my external synth via MIDI. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I had this same problem when I upgraded to 2014. Not Christmas yet so haven't upgraded to 2015. But...if its the same problem...go into Preferences, MIDI (tab 6 I think), find the menu that lists "Disable Special Controllers" and check that. Not sure why this does that but at the time there seemed to be some issue with Nodes, special controllers and instrument settings. Did the trick for me. YMMV.

Thanks for your input MountainSide but what you suggested didn't fix my problem. I just noticed something else - when I go to the tracks of the songs I can hear some different instruments playing than what the songs tracks are set to. When I change to another instrument and then back to the original instrument then the correct intruments will play. I save the song but when I open the song later I have the same problem all over again. Maybe the problem is with my Ketron SD2 and the problem just happened to show up when I upgraded to RB 2015. Any other suggestions? I wish I had another external synth to try but I don't.

Definitely have a suggestion! There are midi program controls embedded in your tracks. Go to the top row in RB, off to the right of center there is an icon that looks like a blue page with an E on it. Click on that and then pull up one the tracks you are having a problem with. Look for some lines labeled SysEx.....delete those. Close this dialog box and go back to your track. Reassign the patch you want from the Ketron and do a "Save As" not a "Save" for the song. A "Save" does not save the patches, a "Save As" does.

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.

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."
