Dr. Gannon,

Thank you and Tobin for the videos. There has been a lot of feedback in the forum for new features for 2022 videos.

At 1:00:04 the first video is rather long. Is there any chance that chapter markers can be added to the video description? That way if a user wants to learn about a specific feature they can quickly locate and access the video information specific to the feature.

Cool. +1 for chapter links.

I’ve found the most helpful way to learn the new features is the videos. That’s not as obvious as it appears, since my normal learning method
is:
1. Fool with it
2. Read the manual
3. Look at a video

I have to add my thanks as well. What an amazing job explaining features. Not sure how many users are thinking "down the road" so to speak, but what some of these awesome features will allow: easily creating "User Tracks".

I'm excited! smile

Thanks again!


Cheers,
Mike

everyone of those features are important to the workflow. To me the new Riff, the all tracks equal, and the edit automation stand out. Followed by the micro chords, Motifs, and Stems. By adding chapter markers allow newer users to rewatch easy.

Useful, thank you!

I followed along with Tobin until he added a note at 13:46. He didn't say how he selected pencil (but I worked it out by trial and error). However, the note I added was silent unlike his (I had selected playable RTs and it was outlined in green). Same happened with the Fission Demo. I selected the chords and made them playable (they went green) but remained silent when either played or edited. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rec

It sounds like you have not set up the HiQ Synth. No sounds unless that is working.

Thanks for the suggestion Dan.

Funnily enough after upgrading (from 2019 to 2022) I found that the Hi-Q option wasn't working so I had to run the hiq_instruments_sforzando.exe file to reinstate them. They are working Ok now as far as I can tell; I can replace a standard MIDI instrument with a Hi-Q one and it plays.

So I am still a bit puzzled.

OK, I saw all the chatter about this item in threads and figured I would take a shot. Can't say I have gotten to where you are yet. But you trail blazers should have this sused out soon. grin

Re: 2022.
well what a great week.
my team west ham united won in europe then beat chelsea
satday 3-2. THEN i'm looking at the vids for 2022...
and gotta say IMPRESSIVE.
playable real traks + micro chords...WOW !
and 24 traks...HALLELUJAH...!
yep gonna upgrade in next week.

got a couple of q's.
1. is it possible to play my geetar on a trak , THEN
plug in a audio to midi plug in ...that creates the midi
notes to play the real trak geetar.?
reason..i dont like futzing around with piano roll at length.
maybe pg coders could think of a way of automating the process...ie i record geetar trak, press a button and rt trak created which i can then clean up.
2. if i order the 90 buk pro upgrade on pen drive ....how do i get all the new rt's in last couple of years ?
so i can upgrade my 2020 ultrapak. cos i dont wanna buy
a bunch of rt's ive already got for 2020 and years before that...dont make sense to rebuy stuff ive already got.

best
ome
ps would have liked more realband stuff.."please sir".

1. The Audio Editor has an editing feature called "Transcribe" that will transcribe a monophonic audio track to MIDI notation. Key point is the transcribe feature works best with monophonic audio.

2. Get the PlusPAK. That has all the new for 2022 content. Once you've installed it use the "What Add-Ons Do I Have?" to discover what content you've missed.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe

This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
