hello BIAB On youtube I saw a new extension of avenger. But I won't buy it, because avenger can't choose its own KEY, and can't enter its own chords. unless you edit it yourself. But I can't make it sound as good as them. These two videos demonstrate 2 sets of tones respectively, which are very nice. Euro Party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm_W2FBthDoFunky House https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSg-jNEadj0At present, band in a box lacks these elements. Can you make some styles with this feeling? I believe it will be very popular.Really wish the band in a box could do it.

SBM, you should consider posting this request in the Styles and RealTracks Wish List. I suspect that's where the right PGM staff in charge of developing such features will be looking. Good luck.

I posted it over a year ago and no response. Some things take longer than others. Some people have been asking for features for over ten years. Eventually, some of them are delivered. We can only keep asking. Keep trying, and I do hope that your suggestions are delivered.

I'm one of the oldest guys on this forum now and I could not agree with you more SwingBabyMix! I've talked about this off and on for at least 10 years. EuroFunk is huge but few on this forum are aware of it because frankly many have their heads filled with concrete and refuse to even listen to something they just know isn't "real music". Pure crap imho.
I'm still a very active gigging keyboard player and 10-12 years ago did a wedding. The band had a good selection of typical wedding gig songs, mostly classic rock and romantic ballads from the 70's to 80's era. Great, I grew up with that stuff and play it all the time. However, that gig was split up into two audiences. The older audience (older relatives of the bride and groom) loved the classic stuff but left after about hour into the evening leaving all the young people.
Somebody's cute 17 year old granddaughter came up to me and shyly and respectfully showed me her iPad with a song list on it and asked me if she could plug it into our PA for her friends. I said sure because I already could see we were in trouble with the leftover young folks. It was all stuff like this and nobody else in the band played along but I did using some synth patches and I had great fun jamming along to that music and several kids came up to me commenting about it. To other old guys reading this, trust me your kids and grandkids love it when you show a sincere interest in their music which I did by playing along with it. And yes, it most definitely is music. She and I turned it into a jammin house party. I didn't let her take over the rest of the night but I gave her a good 10-12 songs and we still played some more of our stuff but I can say for sure, her iPad saved that gig.
PG needs to pay serious attention to this. They've made a start but need to expand it a lot. They'll need somebody to sell to when all us old farts leave the stage.

Thanks for sharing the story. The problem I'm currently encountering is that when I make a song at home with a band in a box, after I sing it, my family (the older ones) will also say that it feels a little old and a little messy. Can the rhythm be simpler, preferably dancing and playing more drums. Don't make the song sound old. Then, I use other synths (nexus, avenger, ujam), modify and replace. If biab had some more modern music styles, everything would be more convenient and fast.

Part B is accurate and should be part of the marketing strategy for long term business life Part A is "Pure crap." unless you've access to the minds, tastes and likes of the "many". Adding "imho" often, but not always, suggests that the holder of the opinion considers it, (the value of the opinion that is), otherwise.
