I see in the 2005 video that Biab had a button to access the higher bank patches. Is this available to be used on the Cakewalk TTs-1 GM are the higher octaves available to choose. I haven't figured out how to access them, but the 2005 New Features had a button setup to work on the VSC.. Would that work with cakewalk vst? Also isn't the TTS-1 the same as the Virtual Sound Canvas? What are the differences? if any?

TTS-1 can use the extended instrument set available in General Midi 2 (GM2). Below is a pdf file that explains in detail the capabilities of the multi-timbrel TTS-1 soft synth. The synth is still remarkably versatile and unique to have been first released in 2004.

It is not a VST though. It's actually a DX instrument. Band-in-a-Box, RealBand and Cakewalk by BandLab support DX instruments so those programs can use it but some programs, Audacity for example, don't support DX use.

The VSC or Virtual Sound Canvas is similar to TTS-1 but there are some differences. VSC was a Roland product while TTS-1 was a product Roland made for Sonar's parent company. While both use samples to create their instrument sounds the VSC sounds emulate sounds from the Roland Sound Canvas series of hardware products while the TTS-1 has it's own, unique instrument sounds. TTS-1 was briefly released as a boxed, standalone Cakewalk VST product. Finally VSC was only released as a 32 bit DX instrument while TTS-1 has both 32 and 64 bit varieties.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
