Hi, not sure if this post belongs here but I was recommended a software called Band in a box to use for practices arpeggios. Anyone here used it before and know where I can find tutorials? Also, where I can get a free download? Thanks

Firstly, welcome.

From the help:
"Arpeggios are a musical technique where the notes of a chord are played individually, rather than all at once. They are commonly used in various genres of music to add texture and movement to a piece.
In Band-in-a-Box, you can create arpeggios using the Soloist menu (Chapter 14) or by manually entering the chord progression (Chapter 6). Additionally, you can use the Melody menu to generate arpeggiated melodies.
For more detailed information on how to create arpeggios in Band-in-a-Box, you can refer to Chapter 14: User Programmable Functions and Chapter 6: Making Songs in the Band-in-a-Box documentation."

The 3023 version states this:
"Chord Track Added
Chord track is added, for use with a VST (e.g., arpeggiators want a chord track) or for simple “pad” (held chords) tracks.
Chord track can be generated on any track. Specifying note range is required.
There is an option to always put a chord track on a specified track (e.g., Utility track #16).
Specific MIDI SuperTracks are added that generate a simple chord track (triads/7ths) or a chord track including 9ths/13ths. Adding these MIDI SuperTracks to your track will write a chord track in the range set, for use with arpeggiators or other VST’s wanting a chord track. With each play a new chord track is written. To do this, open the Select MIDI SuperTracks and choose one that has “Arpeggio” in the name. "

There are no free downloads to my knowledge, however, there is a 30 day money-back guarantee if you purchase, shown on this page

PGMusics own tutorials are +++ here (text) +++ or +++ here (videos) +++ .
Another excellent resource for learning how BIAB works are Henry Clarke's video tutorials +++ here +++.

Personally I prefer Henry's for many things, perhaps as I think they're done more from a user's perspective than the company's perspective. YMMV.

Hello,
I'm new to BIAB and I was just reading your post. You mention chapters 6 and 14. Can you please let me know where I can find them and all the other chapters. I'm looking for beginner tutorials.

Thanks,

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.
