Any chance of adding  Tejano music styles such as guapango, polka, valse, cumbia. Normally these styles would require a button accordian, bajo sexto (Mexican 12 string guitar), drums and bass.

I second this. I am learning the button accordion and would love to be able to use band in a box to practice with. I am a prospective customer and I specifically came to this site looking for this.
If it does not exist, how many people would be the critical mass needed for the style to get created? There is a huge forum online that is for accordion players and bajo sexton/quinto players that could be tapped and I'm sure that there would be some interest.
Thanks,
-E

Tejano styles were introduced few years ago and they consist of RealTracks; the polkas and 4/4 styles are very good. I play a number of Little Joe tunes and others.
For me, only thing missing is a good solo accordion. I forget if it's possible to preview styles online.

I am interested in that, always for new music from all over the world.
Please says me, which styles you mean.
Or you could send me Band Names or MIDI Files.
I would try to make a Style out of that and upload it.

Here are some examples from a horn player in a tejano group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cYw9jdSS8s Instrumentation: Horns (somewhat covered by one of the keyboard players in this live example - plus the tenor lead) Accordion (diatonic, button - similar to harmonica - carry multiple keys of accordion depending on the tune's key) Keyboards (which cover horn, strings, guitar, synth sounds, electric piano, etc) Bass Drums (generally an emphasis on the upbeat) Vocals/harmonies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4-IGnQGU18 Similar instrumentation - but with actual guitar (distorted, lead and clean rhythm guitar w/primarily an upbeat figure) Lead sax here is an alto. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BcCE7gaUxOUhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF9oyaAA4S4 Similar instrumentation - add a more full horn section with trumpets (2+), trombone, tenor sax, bari sax (or alto sax) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEs02X74gAM Similar instrumentation - add a more full horn section with trumpets (2+), trombone, tenor sax, bari sax (or alto sax) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHqfDYs55Qw Same group as above, different style https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scHMPQZG97A Different group - similar instrumentation with more full horn section. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU9IwVHo2Ik As above https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxQ6KwVmXI4 More keyboard centric - subtract large horn section and subtract accordion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqxIPMxQk8g Similar instrumentation as above https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoS3Rim5kVk Instrumentation for this tune varies - later versions have more keyboard and two trumpets. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ax4tmeB9IQg Back to Latin breed - distorted guitar + full horn section https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-1GeOwo6p4 Ballad - more trombone featured https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc5Fb5Ze_UA Horn section, accordion, percussion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm1ah5j_f5A Full horn section, no accordion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDUo2X3d-fg Accordion, alto sax (not as full of a horn section) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwrtIFJXkXchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VhNi9A9Dkg Accordion/Bajo Sexto + (alto sax, keyboard used sparingly) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOohegkcZpAhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Xy_Qpk4qXc Full horn section (trumpets, saxes, bone), keys, accordion https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PgPaeyDtJohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzgx3AcMl3Q( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Qt43UpdakY live version - accordion, guitar, keys, alto sax) ...

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
