2024 is here now! It has some outstanding new content and some great new features the two stars of the show are the new Multipicker! A one stop shop for all media content. and the new Tracks view. A DAW like window to allow you to see your creations in a familiar manner. Speed has been enhance greatly in both Band in a Box and the Plugin.
MultiPicker is accessed thru F7 Once you do the Rebuild after first start up which is still done by the legacy style picker then close that and hit F7 it will take a second or two then it can be toggled on and off with F7
Open a song or song demo and click the new tracks icon on the tool bar under views. hot the Play + to generate and watch the speed it generates.

Well I did an upgrade but no extras, largely as a fond farewell. I still have all the floppies in the attic right from inception.
I won't be using the software anymore though. It's bloated with an extraordinary array of RT's and I was hoping for more this year. It didn't happen. I think nebies would need a Masters Degree now to handle this software. The manuals just leave me sterile. I'll dabble with the plugin for a riff or two when using Nuendo 12 but that's about it.

Mal,
I am sorry you feel that way, I have a completely opposite view.
1) Regeneration times are now almost instant.
2)Non-Modal MTP (Multipicker) Library lets you browse RT's with near instant placement right in your tune, so you can audition actual rendition of it on the fly. Not only that, you can switch whole styles on the fly.
3)MTP Library opened up a lot of MIDI and other content that was hard to get to and just made whole process of searching and browsing 10 times better.
4)Several other tools became non modal, so workflow became much easier and less restricted.
5)With track view and CTRL+F8 you can regenerate any part of any track on single screen super easy and fast.
6) A great selection of new content. I do understand that it is a thing of taste.
But as far as program goes:
With a few shortcomings and about two dozen of known issues, that I sincerely hope will be ironed out in the next month, in my view this is one of the best updates ever.
If anything, workflow improved significantly.

Malevans said,
"I think nebies would need a Masters Degree now to handle this software"
Though everyone is entitled to their opinion Mal I couldn't disagree with you more here,
1 Open the software,
2 audition a number of styles.
3 Type in a number of chords
4 Generate and play.
How simple is that.
Of course you can add more realtracks or realdrums, loops etc and maybe make it as complicated as you want it to be.
And maybe when you go really deep into the program things can get a bit complicated.
A newbie who has a little basic understanding of music theory such as chords etc, would be up and running with Band in a Box within ten minutes in my opinion.

Is there usually a new year sale, or Spring Fever sale? Will this be the lowest price point?

Is there usually a new year sale, or Spring Fever sale? Will this be the lowest price point? The Windows version is on special discounted pricing right now. Package prices are listed here. Please see the above links. Unless history does not repeat itself, I very much doubt that the pricing would be reduced further

Okay, so what must be the regular question every year: are the perks worth the upgrade, or better off just buying the Real Tracks a la cart? I was psyched to get multiriffs, microchords, playable Real Tracks and (further back) utility tracks. Anything as groundbreaking?
Can anyone explain MutiPicker?

I'm not exactly sure, but I suspect that some of the new Real Tracks won't be recognized by an older version of the program. Others may know more. Definitely the Multi-Picker dialog is a worthwhile feature. All the pickers in one neat spot.

For me the upgrade was worth it. If you are a frequent user of of Multi-Riff, you will find the tracks view incredibly time saving, and much more capable of precisely isolating exactly what you want to regenerate. If you like to mix and match different tracks (midi and/or real) from various styles, you will find the Multi-Picker amazingly useful, not just to find them, but audition them quickly.
BUT (and it is a big butt) if you don't use Multi-Riff and usually keep the same instruments that come with a pre-set style, you may not find that much difference, although the rendering time seems to be faster. But, then again, if you are not using Multi-Riff and adding extra players, that is a shame and might be because it was so cumbersome in the past, so these workflow improvements may induce you to take more advantage of these great features.

Yes, Track Generation time has been significantly improved. Songs can generate in a fraction of the time taken previously, as all tracks are generated simultaneously now.
