Having recently updated to Powertracks 2021, after playing a .seq file I am now intermittently getting a yellow box come up with the alert "Elastique Port Audio Error: 2Resampler Result:0" and this seems to lock the program such that I cannot play any more files. I then have no option but to reboot the tablet (Microsoft Surface Pro 4).
As I use this for live work this is less than ideal.
From what I have read in the forum, Elastique seems to be associated with pitch/time shifting neither of which I do when playing live. (I just play back .seq files with a .WAV track and some midi tracks).
You've posted in the Wishlist forum section. You may want to repost your question in the +++ PowerTracks Pro +++ section. Your question will likely get more views and better responses.
One possible way to avoid the issue would be to render the mix of each song down to a mono or stereo master audio file. Consider bouncing the MIDI tracks and patches to audio tracks.
thanks Jim - if I understand what you are suggesting "consider bouncing midi to audio track" does this mean I can get it all on to one track? If so can you give me a guide as to how this is achieved please.
Hi Chris, for clarification, the wishlist forums are for users to request for new features to be added to future versions of the software. The forum posted earlier is for tech help.
If you're not using Elastique, another thing to try would be to go to Options | Preferences | Audio. Then unselect the checkbox for "Use Elastique".
To bounce the track to an audio format, right click the MIDI track and select "Auto convert Individual MIDI Track to Audio". Or you could alternatively select 'Auto Convert Individual MIDI track to WAV File" to save it to your computer directly.
These are just ideas for work arounds since you are not using Elastique, but they do not fully solve the underlining issue. Our technical support team would be able to look into this further for you. You can reach them via live chat on the website during our open hours or email support@pgmusic.com

Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!
Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.
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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
