Is there anything in the piano roll editor that allows you to snap to key? Similar to how you can with rhythms or if you used Moleodyn.
thanks!

Are you talking about vocal recordings? If so, check out GSnap. GSnap sort of works like auto-tune and I believe it is a free vst plug-in?

You can do that in Reaper then import back to Biab or do a search for RapidComposer up in the top right of this page, you can use it with Biab by importing Biab chord output midi track into RapidComposer, it will automatically snap the notes to the chords/scale.
You can load RapidComposerVST into Biab.

HearToLearn:
We need a bit more info.
I'm not sure what you mean by "snap to key".
In the BIAB Piano Roll window, you can set the "snap" value setting in the top LH corner of the window, that can be anywhere from "none" to a 32nd note triplet.
That allows you to move the notes (or enter new notes) onto the grid, and they will snap to the horizontal position of your snap value setting.
If you drag an existing note vertically, you can move it to any note you wish, but it won't "snap to key", if you mean will it stop at a vertical note position that is in the correct "key" that your song is in.
Give us a bit more detail and perhaps we can help.
Thanks!

In the Big Piano Settings you can color the notes and yellow is out of scale but it doesn't apply over to the piano roll notes also, I think I requested this years ago but there is usually a ten year lag ! Also see here http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=418850RapidComposer uses Blue=Scale note Green=Chord note and Red=Out or Passing note. The piano roll background color changes with the chord/scale in the chord track, you have customization of whatever colors you like.

Sorry if that was confusing.
Snap to Key is essential what pipeline is showing. I find it VERY handy for when I'm traveling and can't use a mouse. It's a little too easy for me to move to non-key notes. It's great if that's your intent; but for the most part, I'm not.
Hooktheory also has a similar feature.
Thanks so much for the replies. Now I have to decided if it's worth $80/$200 for me to have. MANY other cool features by the looks of it.
Thanks so much for the replies!

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!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
