You draw the keyswitch notes in the piano roll to play the section you need, it will also play GM midi.
It is actual recordings of Real Drummers, you can adjust the individual levels and create you own fills, solos or riffs.

Couldn't load it (32bit VST) in BIAB, but it did in Cubase 64bit. Wasn't too impressed with the sounds and grooves at first sight, but it's a freebee eh ... F

What did you install and where ?
You can also render each drum/cymbal to stems by turning the levels down on the other drums and using the dry setting then you can add to the individual drum whatever FX you like to get the sound you need.
In the pic below the left hand side keyboard is the GM single hits and the right hand side is the real drumming patterns.

Set the Drums to Midi or use it on a midi track then you will be able to load a VSTi in the first slot.
If you use it on the Drum track it will play the Midi Drums that BB generates, if you use it on another track you just set it to Latch then draw the notes in the piano roll for the right hand side drum patterns, so you can start with a fill on bar 1 then verse on bar 2 etc.. by drawing a note to start that pattern.

Set on MIDI, the interface loads, but pressing play causes a fatal error and BIAB locks, have to close via taskmanager. Amen on that: happens each time, different MGUs loaded. PS checked, the VST plays sounds OK, the drumtrack had midi data loaded, but pressing play causes BIAB to crash, hangs on generating the song it seems. BTW Easy drummer 2, 32bit works OK .... I reported it all to PGsupport. -F

I tried it with an MGX and it works at my end.
It also works inside MiniHostVSTi in BB so that is worth trying http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=394808#Post394808

It will allow you to use vst's without the massive big BB window.

Hi Fiddler,

We've had the same issue on two computers here, so this doesn't appear to be due to an issue on your machine. I'll keep trying to find a solution, and will report this as a bug if I can't get it working.

Cheers

Yeah, f.i. with HAlion Sonic SE3 you can't see the whole interface, i wish they'd dumped that oversized topend of the VST Plugin window's GUI ..

For Kent: Maybe it has to do with VSbasic, Dot Net, USB audio streams, or running BIAB on a 64 bit Win10 FC PC. EZdrummer2 32bit loads & works OK, so does Kontakt 32bit. - F

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.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
