This is driving me slightly crazy. BIAB is changing my Multi- program in my Synth module (Yamaha Motif-Rack ES). It does it every time. I stop a biab file, dial in the Module program, run it, stop. A new program sounds (I don't know what, something different, redial the multi I want to play. Everytime. It is driving me crazy. Is there a preference or something that I can change?

Jim, how are you assigning the multis? Do you assign them manually on the ES or are you using BIAB? You need to get an .ini or .pat patchmap file for the ES and assign the sounds from within BIAB. Also, if you are pulling a midi file from the internet, check to be sure that a program change has not been programmed into the midi file to assigned patches to the tracks.

I'm not sure I understand what is meant by 'assigning' the multis. The basic receive and transmit channels are "1" as per the manual. I never had a patch map with the ES/BIAB connection in the past and didn't suffer this problem. I have no idea how to get an .ini or .pat patchmap file for the ES. As regards the midi files from the internet, I did have a problem in the past, but that was solved by clearing the list editor in the midi files. The problem I'm having now is with home grown BIAB files.

Jim, you need the patch map for your Yamaha, and the good news is that there is already one written. Go here and get it: http://www.pgmusic.com/support_miscellaneous.htmDownload the .PAT file and place it in your /BB folder. You should also read it as a text file to learn more about what it is doing, but that's not essential now. When you right-click on a patch name in the mixer (Example: Instrument 49 Strings), choose Select MIDI patch, then Select Higher Bank patch from .PAT file. BIAB will prompt you to load the .PAT file. Do that, then your correct patches will appear as choices on your left. Then remember to always Save As with Patches and Harmony (Alt+F2).

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."
