Band-in-a-Box 2025 New Feature - MIDI Patch Picker

There’s a new one-stop MIDI Patch Picker with over 1,100 MIDI patches (instrument sounds) to choose from, all categorized by GM numbers.

To open it, press the F7 key, and then click on the [Patches] tab.

The track selector allows you to confirm or change the current track. Your selection from the patch list will be applied to this track.

You will see a complete list of MIDI patches, and you can search for a patch by name or filter the list by Instruments, Types, GM, Hi-Q, Playable RealTracks, Drums, and/or SynthMaster.

You can hear a pre-made demo of the selected patch by pressing the [Demo] button. The [+] button provides options to enable internet-based demo playback, loop the demo, and adjust its volume.

The [Favs] button will show a menu of favorite GM patches that are set in the Favorite Instruments dialog (Options | Preferences | [Favorite Patch]).

Press the [Apply] button to assign the selected patch to the current track. To assign the patch to the current track and play the song, press the [Generate] button.
