Using the MIDI Monitor you can see what the continuous controller (CC) settings are, but they can't be modified there. I know that you can take the song over to RB and make these changes but that also forces the RealTracks to regenerate even if their frozen. When making small final tweaks in BIAB, having to take it back to RB, changed CC levels and then taking it back into BIAB destroys the work. So on a finished song in BIAB is there someplace else in BIAB where these can be changed without having to go back into RB?

What I want to do is to edit CC's, particularly reverb and chorus, cc91 and 93, on the Thru track (track 5). I can't get it to display anything from the track 5 data. I even went back to track 4 (melody) where the original data is from, and can't see anything other than note number, velocity and channel number. When I try to use the filter in the event editor nothing comes up...all data is blank. Is the filter working on your setup? Jeff Last edited by MountainSide; 01/02/21 04:13 AM.

Event Editor works here like a charm; e.g. cc91, cc93 show up and may be edited whenever a file has such controls on some channel. Martin

Using the Event Filter for anything other than "Notes" comes up with nothing even though I can see all the controllers in RealBand. Seems odd that you are seeing these, maybe I checked some odd marker in 2021?

So it does seem that there is a possibility that something is broken in the way the program handles this.

The filter adds reverb and stuff to some otherwise potentially even 'dry' midi input signal. When you create or export the rendered midi, you get all CCs added via the mixer - yet when you check the event editor prior to exporting through the mixer, you see just the 'dry' midi signals void of CCs. Check on opening the midi file that shows CCs in some DAW via BiaB - you'll likely see these CCs there as well. Martin

BiaB is the only editor that I know of that doesn't show said mixer changes. Maybe that is because the mixer does not record CC changes until export, I don't know for sure as I do not use BiaB that way.

When opening some midi file that contains CC data, I do see CC data in the Event Editor . . . I am not talking about an imported MIDI file, I am talking about a BiaB generated MIDI song. In the editor I added a CC10 with a value of 63 in the first editor slot of a MIDI piano track so the pan setting would be seen as the first data point. It had no effect on the piano track. The mixer was controlling the pan setting not the inputted CC data. Again this is not what I have seen on other MIDI editors. Would someone else verify this as it may be a bug. Edit - I just did a little more investigation. All CCs that I inserted into the MIDI editor worked except pan and anything that effects the volume; both of those are controlled by the mixer. If someone would verify this I will put a request in the wish list to include pan and volume CCs in the MIDI editor. Last edited by MarioD; 01/04/21 07:42 AM.

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.

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. 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!
