Latest RB upgrade. 2.4 proc, 512 RAM (should not be an issue), XP3. Tried to convert my vocal mono track to midi. At 49% received floating point overflow. This same thing happened when my computer was a PIII @ 256 RAM. Seems nothing's changed. Any idea what's happening? What am I doing wrong. Ian

Consolidate the track and try again.
I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

Hi Ian,
Same error with me.
Fails around about the 68% to 77% mark here.
Using the latest Realband update.

The audio track is consolidated. I have also tried this with PT12, as well as RB most recent. The conversion stops at 49%. I have tried different midi channels - doesn't matter. It freezes. Floating Point Overflow. The progress window won't respond to its own <cancel>. But if you click on the main window <cancel> it all goes away. I have been having this problem for many years with PT and have never gotten it to work properly. I'm trying to convert my voice to midi - maybe it's too atonal.  Ian

Works here.The end results aren't worth anything though. Did you first rt click on the track and choose"select whole track"?

Something just occurred to me.
My midi synth is an external, as opposed to internal. Michee is your synth internal??

That wouldn't affect the creation of the midi track.

Do you use it with your voice John?
I've tried "select whole", "from-thru", "consolidate".
Can you think of a "preference" I may not have clicked?

tried it with my voice. I've never used it before this. Don't know anything else. I didn't find it to be useful though.

If I have some time tonight after work, I'll try to play with this some. It seems to me that it would probably be best to sing the song with just something like "la la la la la" or "da da da da da da", so the different words aren't getting in the way of distinguishing the pitches (but I could be wrong).

Hi Ian,
Yes I have an outboard sound module (Korg 05R/W) and the internal TTS-1.
I have tried them both with the same result.
I wonder if the version of Realband makes a difference.
I am using 2010.5 (2)
Maybe earlier versions work?
Regards

A while back I had a similar problem with converting a 2 minute vocal track and gave up.
However, I was successful recently with just a 16 bar vocal track. Maybe piecemeal could work for you.

You might try invoking a DXi synth and then see what it does.
I've seen - and reported - stranger things than this one, turned out to work with the
dxi synth but not so much with external.

Thanks for the input guys.
I've been giving RB a workout with stuff I used to do in PT12. Weird things going on in RB. Trying to get used to it because of RT's regeneration. Lyric entry - Tab advance not working on and off, no audio to midi conversion, BB Toolbar resetting the number of bars by itself. Let's call'em glitches.

Hi
Any cure for glitches i seem to have a touch of the nasties with them and they have a habit of changing just as you get to grips with the ones you got,i never had them before but in the last 12 month they are rife,sorry to bore you
regards Dave
I always play the right notes but not always in the right order

Conversion solved.
E-mail from Support pointed out my short comings. I was just clicking on the track. Apparently you have to highlight the whole track, it's not enough to just click on it.
Tried it and it now works without a floating point error. Give it a shot.
Cheers - Ian

Seems to me that if the pitch to midi command requires selecting the whole track, that the command itself should perform a "select all" of the selected track before processing it. It probably should save the current from-to settings, select all, perform the conversion, then re-instate your previous from-to settings. But I would think the program should do that for you.
Wish list time?

It seems to me you are correct John. That's what I always thought. I've noticed a similar problem when regenerating the RTs in RB. It's not enough to just click on the track where you want the RT. But if you have a residual time in the From-Thru you only get a partial regeneration. The conversion method suggestion was Quote:
You need to drag across the audio to select it so that the actual wave form within the track is highlighted in black
Seems resting the cursor on the track number should do it.

Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
