Super Midi track and MultiRiff??

Can this be done? When I try it says "Can't Generate Midi Track on a BB Midi Track."

Nevermind, I opened RB (newest version) just to experiment with Multiriffs and it froze when I tried to save. How do you guys work in this program?? (that is a rhetorical question).

I am going to take this question over the BIAB forum.

BB tracks are (well) BB tracks. Try 'Edit-Tracks-Make all BB tracks regular tracks' in RB.
Then you should have normal control over BB tracks (the ones with a formerly blue font).

OK Rhav, lets try again. Actually my New Years Resolution is to work more in RB specifically to utilize the MultiRiffs feature.

In this case I have a Super Midi Track which I what to see\hear each of the multiple options that Multiriffs can provide. Bear with me I used to know how to do some of this stuff in RB but that was long ago.

1) I follow your advice and convert all BB tracks to regular tracks (blue font to black font).
2) I select the Super midi track and "generate - multiriffs" but this yields "Can't generate a real track or midi track which has data?"

Now what?

Highlight the bars you want to change then go to the generate button, at the bottom of menu you will see generate selected section, you can then copy that new section to another track then do the same again till you get something you like.

Yeah, try Pipeline's suggestion.
Here I use 'MultiRiff' with Realtracks much more than Super MIDI tracks.
They work great for this, which I think was the intended use.

Sorry I can't be more help Dan, and thanks Pipeline.

I think the RealCharts for keys are the actual midi recordings that are recorded at the same time on that Yamaha piano as the audio track, so you should be able to use MultiRiffs if you have RealCharts enabled if you want keys.

OK, I can successfully regenerate a super midi track but it is an awkward workflow indeed.

The MultiRiffs function which was so sweet for regenerating RTs, does not work for me on SMTs. Instead I have to copy and paste a new track each time I regenerate.

Maybe workable, but don't need RB to do this since I can regen, copy and paste directly from BIAB to my DAW.... will give this some more time to sink in. Can anyone use Multiriffs on a SMT?

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

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!

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."
