BiaB 2022 has been announced - It's here!

Many of the new features are going to be amazing! E.g. 4 chords per beat (instead of 1). Looking pretty good already.

nice.
but。。。
In BB VST, click the generate button to generate all pages. I don't like it. Longer generation time. The most important thing is that some pages I don't want to generate. I don't want all the pages to be regenerated in order to generate a real instrument. If you need to click in to generate it separately, it will waste time.

Purchased and downloading now. Good thing I still have a US$-denominated credit card. My French PayPal account is in euros and PayPal uses a terrible (for me; great for them) exchange rate. PG Music purchases are US$ (and maybe CAD$) only. I have a U.S. PayPal account, but they asked for my French PayPal account, so happy I kept my U.S. credit card which I can pay from my U.S. bank, saving a lot of money. The only downside is that I still have to pay the 20% French VAT. Oh, well. Part of the price of living in a little corner of paradise here in Arcachon.

EDIT: I did get a "potential fraud alert" email, noting that the US$ charge was routed through the Netherlands. I confirmed that the charge was legit. Props to the card issuer!

EDIT: Question to PG Music: Any chance you can accept euros for payment in the future? Pretty please.

Has anyone seen the "discount coupon" to effectively cover the cost of additional VAT amount that was talked about before to recover the VAT when ordering outside US and ordering the new annual version of BIAB? I was about to place an order from sweden but I cant find the "discount coupon".

It’s especially helpful to watch the videos to understand the new features (which are amazing and answer some long-standing requests).

Cool stuff! First update I have done in 3 years so it's a biggie.

Love the new system where you enter your serial number and it tells you which versions you can buy.
The new installer also makes it a breeze to download and install.

Thanks PG!

Any word on fixes to existing bugs?
We were looking for a new release based on cleaning up the existing product at the expense of "New" tracks, styles, features. But we seem to be back to the same problems we have been living with for years.

FWIW, the paypal option didn't work for me this year. It kept telling me to use a US based paypal account (Mine is)

Ordered Xtra Pak 12 with my order but what was delivered (via D/L manager or manual D/L) was Xtra Pak 1 and Xtra Pak 2 (which I already own). PG Support are working on it! Thanks Chantelle.

Thought I would post here in case anyone else has a similar problem so you know that support are onto it.

Hi Mike,

Sometimes it helps to know that you aren't the only one with an issue. Hopefully they will get it sorted soon. I wonder if anyone who ordered Xtra Pak 11 got two links for Xtra Pak 1? smile

looks wonderful - especially 'all tracks are equal' which seems to get around the previous BIAB restrictions of working with multiple tracks that meant going into RealBand.

four beats per quarter note also means more flexibility. but does anyone know if the new styles include more 6/8, 12/8 and 9/8 styles?

but overall a thumbs up from me.
