The new features in RealBand 2009.5 for Windows are...


  • Drag/Drop WAV or MIDI files into the Tracks Window.   From Explorer, drag and drop media files (WAV, MIDI) onto the Tracks Window, and they will get added to the project, on the track that you dropped them, and the current time.

  • File Import Menu Item.   This lets you easily add a MIDI/ WAV/ SEQ/ or MGU file to an existing project (SEQ). This is handy when combining media types to a new or existing project.

  • Drag 'n' Drop Tracks.   Easily move tracks up or down in relation to each other by drag n’ drop using the mouse. E.g. drag track 1 below track 2 to change the order of the tracks.
