Hello,

I don't understand how the filter works in the real track Picker.

For example, if I filter on "Arpeggio", 6 instruments are returned, but only one with arpeggios. Others concerns Hold chords!!

Why are these 5 instruments are listed in this case?
I just find the term "Arpeggio" in the memo field for the fist instrument.
Which fields does the filter apply to? is the memo field one of them?
How to search for instruments playing in arpeggios?
Is is possible to combibne severals filters (for exemple Arpeggio + Piano)?

My config : BIAB 2021 (822) for Windows 64 bits

If you have somes answers ...

Hello Riccoboni,

I just tested out your example "arpeggio" in Band-in-a-Box 2021 for Windows on build 825, and doing a search for "arpeggio" using the filter section at the bottom brings up one instrument: Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm Slow12-8ArpTremoloBrent Sw 040. Is this the same one you are referring to that you personally found? The memo field provided the following information:

"This baritone electric guitar RealTrack is playing a slow 12/8 arpeggio style with a swing feel at a slow ballad tempo. The baritone electric guitar has a deep tone and, when combined with the arpeggio style, it blends well with RealTracks in a higher range. There is notation available for this RealTrack in the Notation Window and the Lead Sheet Window and you can view the playing on the fretboard in the Guitar Window. There is a simple version available which can be selected in the RealTracks Picker or from the track drop-down menu.

Tempo Range: 35 - 65"

I would recommend downloading and installing the latest patch update for your version of Band-in-a-Box from the link below, then trying your search again:

https://www.pgmusic.com/support_windowsupdates.htm#825

If this doesn't fix the issue, try hitting "show all", then type in your search again in "filter by".

To answer your other questions, using the "filter by" option at the bottom of the RealTracks Picker dialog will filter the list based on the text you type in the edit control. You can type several search terms, separated by spaces, in any order. For example, you can type in 'Country 120 Ev', and it will show you the options.

If after the patch update you need further assistance, please feel free to reach out to our tech support team directly at support@pgmusic.com, or use the "Live Help" button at the top of our website on the right hand side. One of our technicians would be more than happy to assist you with any additional questions you may have.


Cheers,
Ember

Hi Riccoboni, the Filter box applies to the Memo field as well as Realtrack name, instrument, artist, set, and other fields.

It is possible to combine separate searches, as the box would search arpeggio AND piano in your example. Rather than searching Arpeggio though, I'd suggest searching Arp as most of the time the Realtrack name has abbreviations.

Thank you for your reply.

I am well in the last build of BIAB 2021 Pro for Windows (825) and I do as requested (show all, then filter by "Arpeggio") and the list returns 6 instruments of which 5 do not seem to contain the Arpeggio chain (see attached file).

I suspect a bug in some context (pack not installed or other ...).

If you uncheck 'Show tracks that are N/A' and search again, does the resultant list change?

Most Realtracks that feature arpeggios are listed as "Arp". Searching for "Arpeggio" will not find them, you need to search for "Arp" instead.
