Right now until I beta test, I am using (It says band in a box 12), how do I get my keyboard to enter the chords?

Also, if I build a melody, how do I get BIAB to build a Chord Progression?

Is it also possible to use REAL TRACKS on my version? I am a noob for this but know the newest product is a great product, would like to see the GUI cleaned up quite a bit with built in templates for song writers as well as composers and the type of score templates.

I am so happy it finally made it to the mac, FINALLY!!!
Thanks
Frankii Elliott

Hello Frankii,

1. You can use an external MIDI keyboard to enter chords, by playing the chord and then pressing Command+Enter

2. There is a "Re-harmonist" feature that can make a chord progression for you based on a melody that you input, however this was added in Band-in-a-Box 2009, so you would need to upgrade your version.

3. No, RealTracks can only be used in Band-in-a-Box 2009 and higher. The chart on this page shows upgrade options ("from 12 or earlier")...
