J’ai installé l’application biab sur mon iPad. On me demande un IP pour me connecter. J’en ai entrer plusieurs (mon iMac, mon serveur wifi), rien ne passe. Cette appli fonctionne t’elle toujours ? Si oui comment procéder ?
Bonjour Gilles, Oui, çà devrait marcher ..... Band-in-a-Box pour iPhone (BB iPhone) est une application pour appareils iOS y compris iPhone®, iPad™, and iPod Touch®. La versionBB iPhone est destinée à inter fonctionner avec la version bureau de Band-in-a-Box. L’application BBiPhone est disponible séparement sur Apple® App Store: http://www.apple.com/iphone/apps-for-iphone/. La version iPhone de Band-in-aBox est logée dans le dossier “BB2Go” (C:\bb\BB2Go). Tout Morceau Band-in-a-Box mis dans ce dossier est visible sur BB iPhone. Vous pouvez envoyer/recevoir des fichiers vers/de l’iPhone BB/Band-in-a-Box pour Windows®; ces fichiers seront hébgergés dans le dossier BB2Go. Je n'ai pas fait cette manip, j'aurai donc du mal à te donner plus de "billes". Donne moi + d'infos ... Daniel
Merci pour ces infos. Première chose, je suis sur Mac OS. C’est niveau de la connexion de l’IP avec mon MacBook que ça coince. Il apparaît bien sûr l’appli mais ne se connecte pas. Vu les appréciations de cette appli sur le store, je ne suis pas le seul à avoir le problème La dernière maj a plus de 2 ans, peut être que ça ne fonctionne, dommage. La semaine prochaine je contacterai PG par chat. Si on trouve la soluition, je ne manquerai pas de le partager.
Gilles, Effectivement (j'ai jeté un oeil sur le forum US) il semblerait qu'il y ait un souçi ..... OK, informe toi et tiens la communauté informée. Bon déconfinement, Daniel
Un souci ? non, le manque d'explications claires et simples .. Ca marche très bien
Faut que l'ordi et l'iPad soient connectés Wifi sur le même réseau Wifi, c'est fondamental .. ca peut marcher par connection cable Ethernet mais c; est plus compliqué et avoir un fil qui pendouille d'une boite qui elle même pendouille de la prise USB-C de l'iPad (c'est comme ça sur le mien qui est récent)..... bof
Autre chose (non expliquée dans la doc PGmusic): faut que la configuration du routeur permette à l'ordi ou tourne le serveur BIAB d'être vu par un autre (dans notre cas l'iPad)connecté au meme réseau. Comment faire dépend du routeur (ou de la box), ca malheureuxsemtn je ne peux pas dire comment faire sur tous les engins possibles. Sur mon modem-routeur Netgear D700, il y a une option dans le paramétrage des 4 réseaux wifi possibles. C'est ça le point le plus délicat, mon iPad ne se connectait pas tant que je n'avais pas mis ça en place !!
Faut ensuite sur l'ordi lancer le serveur BIAB qui se trouve sur l'ordi, dans le cas de mon PC/Windows10 dans C:/bb/BIAB/BBhelper et qui s'appelle Bandinaboxserver.exe
Suffit de cliquer sur ce programme pour le lancer.
Ensuite lancer l'appli iPad qui s'appelle Band-in-a-Box !! elle trouve le serveur s'il est actif, et a déja été nconnecté ... sinon toucher File->Server , un menu s'ouvre .. en haut apparait l'adresse IP du PC serveur (si l'iPad l'a trouvé) sinon appuyer sur connect, en principe un menu s'affiche avec la liste des serveurs BIAB trouvé, suffi de cliquer sur celui qui apparait (en principe il est seul !!)
J'espère que ça vous aidera. Bon courage. Ca vaut vraiment le coup de faire ça.
Je reconnais avoir la chance de m'y connaitre un peu en ordi et réseau et de pouvoir lire en anglais les forums et manuels Band-in-a-Box.
Par contre sur Mac où se trouve, si il existe, ce fameux fichier bandinaboxserver ou son équivalent ? J’ai tout fouillé et bien sûr utilisé l’outil de recherche, en vain.
Je trouve quand même dommage qu’en 2020 pg n’utilise pas le Bluetooth pour établir cette connection.
Le fichier bandinaboxserver se trouve dans le dossier c\bb\BBhelper. Par ailleurs ton problème de BlueTooth n'est pas lié à BIAB. Cette connection n'a rien à voir avec une appli. Voilà, Daniel

Merci Daniel
Sur Mac pas de dossier BBhelper dans le dossier Band-in-a-Box
Mon Bluetooth fonctionne très bien. Je voulais dire qu’en 2020 pg pourrait peut être utiliser ce moyen de connection, ça serait bien plus simple et actuel.
Bonjour, Si le problème se pose toujours, voici une autre manière de procéder (je pense que le dossier BB2Go, c'était dans des versions précédentes). En fait tout se passe à partir de l'iPhone : dans l'app BiaB (de l'iPhone) => File => Download => cliquer sur Download from PC/Mac. Une fenêtre s'ouvre avec une adresse IP locale indiquée en dessous (genre 192.168.1.4) (il faut bien sûr être sur le même réseau wifi que le Mac). Se rendre ensuite sur le Mac et ouvrir une page du browser, et y indiquer cette adresse IP. La page BiaB s'ouvrira, avec possibilité de choisir un fichier. Quand le fichier est choisi, cliquer sur "Submit". Sur l'iPhone, le fichier apparaît dans la fenêtre. Il ne reste plus qu'à choisir le dossier où l'enregistrer, et le tour est joué (enfin presque: j'ai souvent des problèmes de sons, etc.). J'espère que ce sera utile. Chris
Apparemment on peut aussi utiliser DropBox, Google Drive, ou même envoyer le fichier par e-mail.
Cela dit, je trouve aussi que ce n'est pas top. Par exemple j'ai eu, sur l'application de mon iPhone, des problèmes de synchronisation avec des fichiers importés (le son pas au même rythme que la partition); ou encore des problèmes de son...

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
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.
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. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
