When you purchased Forte DXi, you should have received a registration code via email. You have to enter that registration code to keep using Forte after the 30-day trial period. Assuming that you purchased it from PGMusic, you should contact them if you did not receive your code.

I purchased Forte recently but each time I enter the code in Band in a box 2015, the Midi/Audio Drivers Setup window will not close to enable me to close and restart the program. Any ideas?

What I have found when you enter the Forte serial number is that you have to press the okay button twice. Don't know if that's your problem, though.

No I haven't bothered them yet. I thought it might have happened to someone before, but thanks for the advice. I'll do that.

I have had issues where it keeps asking for the code even after I insert it. But only on a Win8.1 machine.

I just have contacted live help about this problem and Laryssa will send it to the technical guys. I am glad to see that I am not the only one with this problem. wink

Just a guess, are you running BIAB "as administrator"? It might be a file rights issue, particularly for those running Windows 8.1.

I am running win 8,1 and Biab as an administrator, so I do not think that's the solution: Forte forgets the password and behaves as trial software, after a month it asks again for the password.........

Oh, I understand. Sometimes software tries to write to a file to verify a software product is legitimate, and cannot without proper rights, so you get this type of error. Installing BIAB into a /Program Files folder (either one, if 64-bit) will cause this type of stuff to happen.

Be sure to post SOLVED when you figure it out.

From what I understand from when Coyote Forte originally came out, Norm Campbell is responsive to user needs. That's how we got from version 1.0 to version 1.6 in a relatively quick period of time. 1.6 has been out a long time, now, so maybe it's time to revisit it with regards to Windows 8.1 and the upcoming Windows 10, especially in a 64-bit environment (since it is strictly 32-bit).

You can find contact information at the Coyote Electronics web site.

Just a thought.

BTW, I've got Coyote Forte loaded on my Win8.1 machine, also, but I don't use it much there (mainly on my Win7 machine). I'll give it a try and see if I have the same problem (I'm sure it's been over 30-days since I ran it last).

I have BIAB installed on a separate drive by itself. Drive letter is E. Where should ForteDXi be installed? Into BB on the E drive or the default C:\?

Edit: installed into the BB folder on the E drive and looks like it is working.

You should be able to install Forte anywhere; however, it is not a BIAB-specific software. It's a DXi synth that can be used with any MIDI program that uses DXi synths. Since it is DXi, it will write to the registry of your computer, so it is not transportable. In other words, you can't install it on an external drive and then use it on a different computer.

My Forte is just installed in the Program Files (x86) folder along with my other music apps (but not PGMusic apps, which do not work there).

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."
