Hello to all, from Wales, UK I am a new user of RealBand, but I am also a long-time user of BIAB, so have a familaiorty with the general architecture…. However, I am being hampered by the fact that the (RealBand) Manual seems sometimes not to match the software as on screen. (My Realband is 2018.5, and the Manual describes it as for Realband 2018, but there it is.) For instance, in the initial set-up, <Options> did not include the promised route to midi set-up. I managed to find a way to that from <Preferences>. Now I want to create an .ini file for my preferred sound-module. I have the .PAT file in BIAB, and the Realband Manual directs me to <Action> menu – but again, the option quoted in the Manual is not present in the menu onscreen, and this time I have yet to find an alternative route. I would be grateful for any info/advice on the general issue of what Manual to use (and possibly where to get it); and specifically, a stroke by stoke guide to import and modify the .PAT file. Many thanks Ian Graham

Thank you, Mike, for the link, which I will follow in the morning.
I would still be interested, however, to hear comments/information on the underlying problem. I can provide screen dumps if anyone doubts what I'm saying.
Sincerely
Ian G.

Good morning, again.
With respect, Mike, the article repeats the same issue. It directs me to the Action menu - which in my case does not include the promised option. (I've taken a screen dump, but I can't now see any way to make an attachment to this message.....)
I acknowledge that the article also includes detailed instruction how to make the ini file 'by hand' - but presumably the 'wizard' is provided because that is a fairly laborious and intricate process, and frankly, I'd like to use the wizard !
Sincerely
Ian G.

And further:
I've run a search on my RealBand folder for .exe files, and there are a whole raft of them.
Some are descriptively named, and they are recognisable as distinct sub-routines you'd normally go into from a menu or through the GUI e.g Audio-Chord Wizard.
Many are more enigmatically named by letters and numbers.
Is it possible that one of these is in fact the wizard I'm looking for? If so, does anyone know which ? And could I safely run it directly ? With RealBand running ?
Many thanks
Ian G.

Hallo, rharv (Rharv)
Thank you, Rharv, yes, there it is.
So hopefully that's the immediate practical issue resolved.
Did you just know that, or did you 'find' it ? It still seems to be odd that the Manual, the PGwebsite and the actual program don't agree.
Many thanks
Ian G.

I have found for years now the manual, the tutorial videos and the actual program seem to all differ in little ways. I usually just do the hunt and peck method of finding out how to do something. Takes longer but sometimes I find things I didn't even know were there!
The forums seem to always find the answer if I have a question.
My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

Did you just know that, or did you 'find' it ? A couple posts up I said I didn't know where it was anymore either .. so I took a minute to help you find it.
