hi Xperts, i'm a little lost: after selecting an midi patch (f.i a flute sound) on the melody track, , in my case using omnisynth, i can't get rid of it no' mo'. Selecting another patch later, or even no patch, still that first one keeps sounding, even when the display shows the new name correctly, ... Trumpet selected and named, or no_patch, that friggin' flute sound keeps bugging me (BIAB that is). Saving the song and reloading it does not help here even .... what's up? - F

Hi fiddler,

It's good to see you again.

Three possibilities spring to mind as I read your question. These are...

1. An audio file of the song exists.

2. A performance wav file of the Melody track exists.

3. The Melody track is frozen.


To check #1...

...try muting the Melody track and then playing the song. If the flute sound persists then go to "Audio" on the uppermost menu and try muting the Audio track to see if that makes a difference. If it does, then an audio file is present and it can be removed by "killing" it under "Audio | Edit".

To check #2...

...the track name should be orange is a performance wav/wma exists. If that's the case, simply right-click on the track name and select "Erase Performance Track" from the menu.

To check #3...

...the track name will have an asterisk (e.g. Melody*). Right-click on the track name and select "Unfreeze track".

After each of the above, regenerate the song.

See if any of these thoughts help.

Regards,
Noel

.
Also try this:

At the very top menu, go to:

Notation > event list editor

You MAY find that a patch is embedded as midi code. Should be easy to delete using this editor.

Also, check the midi channel(s) in the .seq to see if there are duplicates.

Thanks for the tips, had a bizzi week with music without the friggin' computer, lucky me, why i did not respond earlier ... looked in to it now, cheched the suggestions and all seems OK, but what's the .seq file? BTW I now think it has to do with Omnisynth/sampletank not automatically loading the GM bank, and sticking to some old previously selected patch. Pity Hypersonic 2 is not updated anymore to 64bit, it used to work quite better. Regret buying Omnisynth, though the sounds are OK when it works LOL - F

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."
