Hello Ben,

Thank you, Andrew, but so far I have not been able to get SampleTank to work by putting different samples in the different channels either. They load, and I can press the virtual keyboard but there's no audio output at all.




Don't assume it's not working just because you don't hear anything when you press keys on the virtual keyboard... that feature might not work unless you're using ASIO drivers, with "ASIO Always On" turned on.

To choose an instrument, you would ignore the patches selected on the main Band-in-a-Box screen, and open the SampleTank control panel.

First click a Part/Channel in the left side of the window, then find and double-click on the instrument that you want to load into that part in the browser window (right-hand side).

(You may want to first write down all the channels that Band-in-a-Box uses for the different tracks, found in Opt. | Preferences | Channels).

You would have to do this for each song you load that has different patches. I believe that you can save your loaded instruments as various presets so you don't have to do as much work each time.

You might consider using the Coyote WaveTable synth while auditioning songs/styles to begin with, then select your instruments in SampleTank when you're finalizing the song.

At least, that's the say SampleTank worked when I tested it in the past...
