Does BIAB still have the ability to use the bottom keys to play and/or record midi?

Hi Russ,

Yes it is. It's called 'Keyboard Wizard' and in my 2017 BIAB it's found under 'MIDI'. The wizard is accessed by following the 1,2,3 on the below image.

For those who don't know about this: Not only is it fun, but it's a useful technique for data entry of tricky rhythms. Key in the rhythm then adjust the pitches later.

Matt,

I wholeheartedly support this approach. The way that BIAB's notation editor works, it is a perfect partner for the keyboard wizard. It also makes writing music possible for those who don't have too much notation background.

It's also great for coming up with new melodies.

Without the black and white keys, I hear things I wouldn't have chosen with my keyboard habits. After that, they can be refined with a little work.

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.
