ToonTrack EZKeys - So far these are the best sales going. At $9 there may be something you like here. I am going to pick up the Pop Rock set. Normally 24 - 29 USD https://www.sweetwater.com/store/search.php?s=EZkeys+adpos++adposition+&Go=SearchI use EZKeys in a lot of my music. The chord sheets can betransferred directly from BIAB to EZKeys.

Hey Dan, Thanks for letting us know. I have the upright and Grand sound banks and have a selection of different midi packs in the browser, for example in Pop/rock I have straight 4/4 and swing 4/4. Am I right in thinking this is probably only a sample list the default midi pack that came with the Ezkeys, and the pop/rock pack on sale would be more extensive. I haven't really spent a lot of time with Ezkeys, mainly using it as a vsti in biab. After checking out this thread, about outputting the chords from biab it seems very interesting. http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=373410#Post373410Since you seem to be one of the experts on here as regards using EZKeys, do you just drag the finished file from Ezkeys into your Daw? Thanks Musiclover

I love EZKeys. If you are patient you will find sale prices on the parts and pieces you need. for example in Pop/rock I have straight 4/4 and swing 4/4.
Am I right in thinking this is probably only a sample list the default midi pack that came with the Ezkeys, and the pop/rock pack on sale would be more extensive. Well, I have not yet dropped the 9$ for PopRock ( btw - I likely will, but being forced to look at a new DELL XPS - my 10 year old Music Computer is getting finicky) so I can't tell you the entire contents, but I have never really been disappointed. In fact, I recently got the Latin Keys Pack and was very surprised to see how much content was provided. YMMV. I will post the contents when\if I buy. Here is the only downside to EZKeys. It is still version 1.0! It needs a richer feature set which will only come when v2.0 is released (no date for that). As a result "workflow" can be a little tricky. But it is still doable. I move BIAB chord charts into the standalone version and start there. Then I "save" the EzK file. Next I open Reaper, place EZK on a track and "open" the saved file. Now I can continue to edit and tweek in my DAW.

Thanks for the info Dan, so many tools to learn and then forget how to use, and then relearn again, but its like a drug I keep coming back for more. Well I just bought the pop/rock pack, some good sounds in there, who knows I might never use it in a song, but good to play around with it, and at right price. Thanks Dan  Musiclover

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."
