Hello,

I'm experiencing a problem with Band in a Box 2025 connected to a Clavinova CVP 307 that I didn't experience before with Band in a Box 2020, Band in a Box 2015, and Band in a Box 2010. I'd like to know if other owners of this piano are experiencing the same problem as me.

If you own a Clavinova CVP 307 or 309 digital piano, and you are using Band in a Box 2025 (or one of the earlier versions with 16 utility tracks: Band in a Box 2021, 2022, 2023, or 2024) on a computer connected to this piano (directly or via a MIDI and/or digital audio interface), could you please try the following test:

- On the piano: select the pre-programmed "All Parts" MIDI setting (Function, MIDI, All Parts, Exit, Exit)

- In Band in a Box: for MIDI tracks, select either an internal or external MIDI-driven instrument (Options, MIDI/Audio Driver Setup, MIDI Input Driver, [Your selection], OK), or a VSTi/DXi virtual instrument (Options, MIDI/Audio Driver Setup, Use VSTi/DXi Synth, [Your selection], OK, [Your choice and settings])

- In Band in a Box: select your Clavinova CVP piano or your digital audio interface as the MIDI Input Driver (Options, MIDI/Audio Driver Setup, MIDI Input Driver, [Your selection], OK).

- In Band in a Box: select one of your SGU or MGU songs with at least sixty bars (for example, 10 bars over 6 choruses or 30 bars over 2 choruses, etc.) and stay in the "Chords" or "Notation" view.

- In Band in a Box: start a MIDI recording on the melody track (Melody, Edit Melody Track, Record Melody, Start of Song, Record).

- In Band in a Box: during MIDI recording, play with both hands with at least four or five notes simultaneously (for example, chords in the left hand and a solo or chords in the right hand).

- Listen to Band in a Box while you play and note if it malfunctions by stopping or "stuttering" after a while (between a few seconds and a few dozen seconds).

Here's a video showing the Band in a Box "stutter" I experience under these conditions:

If your Band in a Box (2021 to 2025) malfunctions in this way, could you please let me know?

Thanks in advance.
