Hola, soy nuevo usuario de Band in a Box. Tengo una duda con respecto a los acordes, como podría introducirlos sin necesidad de escribirlos, lo que quiero saber es si pueden estar todos los disponibles en una tabla o ventana donde los puediera escoger. Gracias por su ayuda

Hola David, existen varias maneras de introducir acordes en Band-in-a-Box.

Una de ellas es tipeando el nombre de los mismos en la hoja o ventana de acordes.
La forma más común de ingresar una canción en Band-in-a-Box es escribiendo los acordes. Pueden ingresarse hasta 4 acordes por compás.
Los acordes se teclean comúnmente empleando símbolos estándar de acorde (como C o Fm7 o Bb7 o Bb13#9/E), pero puedes ingresarlos en cualquier formato soportado que presente símbolos de acorde de Numeración Romana, Notación Nashville, y notación tipo Solfeo.

Puedes ver una lista de los acordes reconocidos por Band-in-a-Box en el tema Lista de Acordes en la Ayuda.
Para empezar a ingresar los acordes:

- Para ir al compás 1 de la hoja de acorde usa la tecla [Inicio] de tu teclado.

- Puedes poner en blanco la Hoja de Acorde (si es necesario) haciendo clic sobre el botón [Nuevo].

Te encontrarás entonces en la celda sombreada del acorde. Los acordes ingresarán donde ella se encuentre ubicada. Puede realizar el desplazamiento de ésta mediante las teclas de cursor, la tecla Enter, o por el puntero del ratón.
La celda sombreada se mueve 2 tiempos a la vez (½ de un compás). Cuando tienes dicha celda sobre el área donde deseas ingresar el acorde, simplemente escribes el nombre de éste allí.
Por ejemplo, escribe c6 para obtener el acorde C6. Observa que nunca necesitarás usar la tecla Shift, Band-in-a-Box la tiene asignada.

- Usa b para un bemol, Ej: Ab7.

- Usa # para un sostenido, por Ej: F#7 .

- Usa / para cortar acordes con raíces alternativas, por Ej: C7/E (bajo C7 c/E).

- Usa una coma para separar el ½ compás, permitiéndo ingresar 2 acordes en una celda. En el ejemplo de abajo, deberíamos escribir Ab9,G9 para obtener 2 acordes en la celda sobre el tiempo 3 y 4 del compás 2.

Band-in-a-Box reconoce el uso de mayúsculas de la tecla 3 para el símbolo de # (sostenido).

La segunda manera para introducir los acordes es por medio del "Constructor de Acorde"

Al mismo se puede acceder por medio de Ctrl+Shift+B o haciendo clic derecho sobre el acorde y seleccionando "Acorde Generador" . Igualmente puedes acceder por medio del menú "Ventana/Constructor de Acorde" o por el símbolo correspondiente (un martillo al lado de acorde escrito en partitura) en la barra de iconos.
Puedes usar esta ventana para audicionar los distintos acordes hasta encontrar uno que suene mejor para ti. En otras palabras, puedes ingresar acordes "al oído" - sin necesidad de conocer los nombres de acorde actual o conocer teoría musical.
El constructor de acorde es muy completo y posee incluso un recuadro que despliega una lista de todos los acordes disponibles por el programa, en el caso de que no consigas alguno en los selectores de construcción. Es importante tener en cuenta que si tenemos marcada la casilla "introduce acorde con clic" cada vez que seleccionemos un acorde, el mismo será automaticamente agregado al compás respectivo en la hoja de acordes. Para introducirlo manualmente desmarca esa casilla y utiliza "Introducir Acorde___"

NOTA: Para poder audicionar los acordes en el Constructor de Acordes, debemos tener cargado nuestro sintetizador o instrumento virtual favorito en el slot o espacio correspondiente de la ventana VST/DX Synths/Plugins a la cual puedes acceder por medio del ícono "VSTi" o en el menú "Audio/Configuración VSTi/DXi Synth" . Band-in-a-Box 2012 proporciona por defecto el instrumento virtual plugin COYOTE WT el cual puedes utilizar tanto para audicionar los acordes como para tocar las canciones. Podrás notar que el Constructor de acordes toca el bajo y el acorde en dos pistas diferentes en el instrumento virtual, para mayor definición de la armonía. Utiliza la AYUDA dentro del Constructor de Acordes para conocer aún mas acerca de sus funciones.


Existe un tercer método para introducir acordes en la Hoja de Acordes, muy interesante y útil para quienes posean un teclado o controlador MIDI. Y es por medio del detector de acordes MIDI, al cual puedes acceder en el menú "Ventana/Detección de Acorde MIDI".
Este comando de menú de Ventana tráe un submenú para el ingreso de acordes desde un teclado.
Puedes tocas cualquier acorde en tu teclado MIDI. Band-in-a-Box te ofrecerá hasta 4 interpretaciones del acorde ejecutado, con su mejor sugerencia en la parte superior y alternativas abajo. Escoje el acorde que desees pegar en tu canción haciendo clic en el botón [Enter] correspondiente al lado del nombre del acorde.
TIP: Puedes insertar también acordes de esta manera sin abrir este diálogo. Presiona simplemente Ctrl+Enter para insertar el último acorde que hayas tocado en tu teclado MIDI dentro de la hoja de trabajo.


TIP: Se puede editar un acorde directamente en un compás en la hoja de trabajo. Para ello acceda con clic derecho sobre el acorde y seleccione "Editar Acorde Actual" o por medio del atajo de teclado: Ctrl+F2 .

With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.

Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.

Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!

And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.
