Hi i am at present trying to build a vst as an effect to run over the top of the drum track.
Now that there is midi host info this could make it possible



I have run 3 copies of this in the drum vst fx slots all playing
different rythms and different sounds.

I am putting this out as is to see if a multi track unit with sampled sounds would be of interest to the biab comunity.

PS : If i get this sorted , it will be available free to all biab users , so if theres no interest i needent carry on with it hahahaha. please let me know if it works / dosnt work / looses time or anything else cheers paul

FILE: beattest.dll is 3.91 meg and used as a vst effect.

It works fine, in BB I loaded it in a guitar track and I can adjust the volume of the guitar without it effecting the percussion sample volume.
It would be good to have a button to load any sample.

Uploaded newer version
this time has wav file load
A and B rythm settings ( programable not taken from BIAB )
Insert bar numbers where you want to change from a-b and b-a.
Still in very basic 4/4 mode at present.

Now vst = 4.5Meg

That's really good what you have done.
I think you have the potential to make that into a full programmable drum/percussion vst.
You can have a pattern you put in for a pre fill A a pre fill for B,
another for a post fill for A post fill B, another for a 4 bar drum ending,
once you have the A-B-(E)nding marked it will know where to play the fills and ending, you could even have (F)ill to mark where to play a fill for bars other than pre post A-B,
you could load a wav for each drum/cymbal of a kit (maybe have a round robin with a few slightly different hit waves for each drum/cymbal/percussion)

If you do a SongForm Unfold you may need some more A-B B-A

Save patterns/kits that can be shared in this forum.

Maybe have a VSTi so you can render it ??

But hey, just how you have it now is great.

I was going to suggest have more patterns but I didn't want to push it, but you went ahead a did it,
Well done !

Thanks for the suggestions pipeline ,
I cant seem to find out if biab transmits fill or A-B changes
hold etc anywhere midi or host ? . Got start and stop ,
am working on a way to sync with pause and play

The long term idea is to Have a multitrack perussion
vst to play along with the realtracks drums that
has round robin samples and linked to the song.

all suggestions welcome paul

Say you have set a A-B change on bar 13 in the vst then the vst should play a pre A fill on 12 and a post B fill on 13.
But I don't think there would be any A-B in the Biab midi sync info, some VST's at the moment only receive Start/Stop message from Biab and no position/pause info like ReWireVST, TemperVST and others, that should be fixed soon as they work correctly in RealBand.
You may be able to ask Peter for some info to help so you don't need to enter the A-B B-A parts.

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."
