Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.

Couldn't find any info in the manual about "K 16", to copy 16 bars. Can I get clued in on this? Ray

The demo did a great job explaining RealTracks and style variations, as well as a solid general overview.
My main suggestion for future demos would be to feature at least one song with more exotic chords. They had, I think, a m7b5 but I'm not sure the song got far enough in to play it. The chords were almost all major and minor triads with a few sevenths, but no sus4 chords, dim7, 9th, 11ths, 13ths, much less #9, #11, b9, b13, 7alt, slash bass root etc. The fact that BIAB can play such chords including complicated combinations of the above is one of its greatest strengths. There are some excellent musicians who attend NAMM and some of them should have been interested in that. A demo with a lot more than C F Am G7 etc. would go far in dispelling anyone's possible notion that BIAB is a musical toy. One pre-made song could do it.

Couldn't find any info in the manual about "K 16", to copy 16 bars. Can I get clued in on this? Ray Ray, it was a new feature some years back. It's not in Help where you might expect (like, "chord entry"). It is alphabetized under "K".
Of course it is. It's not under (C)hord or (Q)uick - it's under (K)? OK, so maybe (K) is (K)eyboard, but it's not shown under Keyboard Shortcuts either. Yes, you can find a reference in 'Copy and Pasting Sections of Chords', but that sends you to 'Quick Copy Method', which is indexed under K, not Q.Look this up in Help, Index: K Quick Copy MethodI still just highlight and copy/paste, so I never used this feature anyway, but maybe you will like it.

The "K-Quick Copy" feature was introduced in BIAB Version 9 (which is not the same as version 2009), which would put is somewhere in the year 2000. This is from the New Features announcement: "K"- Quick-Copy-Option. By simply typing K at a bar (followed by ENTER key), you can instantly copy the last 8 bars to the current position. By adding additional keys in the K command, you can customize this (e.g. Typing K12,3 would copy from bar 3 for 12
bars to the current position. The current position is advanced to the bar beyond the copy. This speeds up song entry!

I was there on the 22nd and met Tobin. The young guy to the left is Peter's son. Peter himself was at the show but was in meetings so I couldn't meet him.
My only comment was the location wasn't very good imho. It was downstairs and way in the back. That whole area had that "overflow in the basement' look to it. I would have loved to have seen PGM up on the main floor along side the other big software players. That area was also adjacent to all the keyboard companies and this is where the good players were hanging out.
Of course as they say, it's only money. Floor space is very expensive at NAMM then there's the cost of the booth area itself plus the logistics. I'm sure the cost of setting up in that upstairs area would be a ton. I just wonder if that spot in the basement was really worth it.

I've used the K copy command a few times, but I prefer to use Edit > Copy From To (Alt-C) I think the 'K' is as in Kopy, because 'C' would be treated as a chord entry. Incidentally, K is not listed in Help > Keystroke List section, but probably should be. I've found it before in Help too, but I'm glad Matt did the legwork this time, as I remember it was buried real-deep. I'm sure the place that I first saw the K command was as a passing comment in a video on the PGM tutorials page. Nevertheless, it's a useful shortcut.

Totally agree Matt. I thought, why all these basic, plain chords? Why did they just use so many 1-5-4 and 1-6-2-5 chord progressions when the songs could have been made much more interesting? I must admit, I was a little surprised...

I have to admit, my attempt was nothing more than precision guesswork...

I agree with Matt's observation.
I forwarded video to 2 of my piano player friends.
As they are both jazz players, I am not sure they were overwhelmed by the chords or the styles that were presented.

I also agree with Matt.
I think they may miss a lot of MIDI musicians also by not showing the advanced side of MIDI supertracks and some MIDI styles..

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."
