This patch will update Band-in-a-Box to Version 2010.5 (Build 302) from any previous Band-in-a-Box 2010 or 2010.5 build. The update must be installed into your existing Band-in-a-Box 2010 folder.

Band-in-a-Box 2010.5 has added over 40 new features and enhancements since version 2010

It will also optionally install the Coyote WaveTable, which is a DXi synth that can be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows. This is primarily intended for 64-bit Windows Vista and 7 users who are unable to use the Roland VSC-DXi, since the VSC is only compatible with 32-bit versions of Windows. To use the Coyote synth, click 'Use DXi/VST synth" in the MIDI Driver Setup, and select "CoyoteWT" in the DirectX/VST window.

Note: If you are updating a hard drive edition of Band-in-a-Box, be sure to select the correct destination directory - either X:\bb (where X is your USB drive letter) or X:\PGMusic\Programs\bb if the hard drive was purchased prior to September 2009.

There has recently (May 03-2010) been a huge number of enhancements to older RealTracks instruments, including vastly improved endings for most RealTracks. Click here to go to the RealTracks updates page.
