I don't mind passing on hints to things that are free, so here's one that might be of interest to someone around here: https://www.samplescience.ca/2015/08/vintage-drum-elements.html

Sure, it's a decent sounding set if one is into that particular trend of sounds. It did irk me slightly that apparently now the 80's are considered "vintage", though, sign of my own ageing I suppose  I just went and grabbed their "Toy Piano" set myself, btw, another free gem

Nice one Islander, Looks great, Thanks.
How do you get it to play in biab though, I've set the drum track to midi but still no sound, I'm sure I tried out a setting in past that enables a plugin like this, but I have forgotten how to do it.
Well is does say channel 10 in biab prefs, well at least that part is right!

Click on the "Plugin" tab of the small mixer and that should shake your memory back into gear.
Let me know if that doesn't do the trick.

Yep doing that, and its loading fine but no midi drum sound, even though drum track is set to midi drums.
If I load it in say another midi track such as guitar it plays though not drums of course.
So must be a setting somewhere in prefs that will enable the midi to play, midi is getting thorugh ok to drum track as it plays without the plugin.

Right, looks like it's time to whip out a checklist:
1. First be sure you've actually "told" BBox that there is this new plugin in your collection, i.e. located it from within BBox. Presuming you know and have done so...
2. Make sure that you can bring up the interface of the plugin from within BBox itself.
If those two pivotal items are all done and seemingly in order, then it's time for fine-combing for eccentricities, such as if the plugin needs to manually be set to receive incoming data on a specific channel (in which case should almost always work on channel 10).
Again, let me know.

Well I think I have got them to play as good as I can Eddie.
Some of the kits there don't play at all, some produce more of a musical tone rather than a true drum sound, probably that is the way they are supposed to play.
I think though I don't have a thorough understand of this, that its probably how the midi is mapped out and biab doesn't see it that way, or I need to make some adjustment in options.
Nevertheless a nice little find. Thanks again.

Well, they do say somewhere in there that this one has glitches and is due for an update, so it may not be all on your end that is the issue here. And now I think perhaps I should follow my own tip and try this one out myself!

I sent a support request to Sample Science with the same issue and they replied:
"The drum mapping is non-standard so you'll have to find them on your keyboard. It's somewhere in the lower octaves. An update is planned along with a "Pro" version with more sounds, multi-outputs and parameter automation."
Not very useful plugin if I have to remap my drum tracks

Ah well... I guess sometimes free stuff is free for a reason p.s. I was going to test it myself, btw, but by the time I went there for it, the link had gone dead.

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.
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!

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."
