The piano entries do appear under the Hi-Q selections/Playable RealTracks, but they don't work. the corresponding file numbers don't show up in the folder...
C:\Program Files\PG Music Inc\Band-in-a-Box Sounds\Programs\Playable RealTracks

I did reinstall the playable_realtracks01_sforzando.exe file with the same results.

Also, looking in the "Plogue sforzando x64" program, under...
Instrument/Band in a Box Sounds/Playable RealTracks, The Category for Piano or Keyboards is MISSING.

Thanks....

Lots of behind the scene effort to resolve this one going on right now. Seems to be a problem with a "pointer" going to the wrong place. On my machine the install of the "playable Realtracks" defaulted to that same folder but on the F drive. Stay tuned.

Just had a similar issue testing a guitar track as well.

Hope they can also get around to resolving the Copy Special problem for moving MIDI channels from Melody track to Utility Tracks..

Thanks for your response!

Thanks.. the PRT list in Band-in-a-Box should not have those menu items. This will be fixed for the next update.

Is there a place in the BiaB program to get a listing of the Playable Realtracks? I like what was covered in the intro video and would like to experiment with the feature where usable.

Where is the playable real tracks folder and how to you select from BIAB?

Where is the info in the manual?

I see it in the Sforzando selection in the DAW, but not in BIAB.

I understand these are .WAV samples for the referenced instruments.

Where are they?

Where are the instructions?

Where is the dedicated video??

Sorry!

Like this?

Detailed BootCamp video on Playable RealTracks

or even this:


or page 25 or page 174 of the 2022 manual?

or searching for the word 'playable' in the integrated help?

Dear Audio Track,


This sounds kinda snarky but thanks for the help anyway man. Maybe you did not mean it.

I actually entered in playable in the box on BIAB GUI that Peter himself showed me once and nothing came up.

The PRT button does not seem to be in your face and you have to search for it.

My real questions are in-depth and beyond what you have pointed out but I talked to staff and they are researching it for me. I am not talking about just any old track, I was talking about the dedicated PRTs.

When I have more info on the in-depth questions I have that have not been answered I will share.

Thanks.

Fair point & questions David.
Whether Lewis Carroll's creature or sarcasm, a glib response can be off-putting and, clearly, you'd done your due diligence, as always, prior to asking.


Cheers

Thanks Ray. I always ask a lot of questions and then I share.

But what are you going to do, man. You have to grin and bear it I guess.

Dear David
My response was definitely not meant to be off-putting.
You hadn't explained anywhere what search steps you had previously taken to find the information, and/or why your search methods failed. I was trying to see if you had already explored the suggestions that I had made. Had you looked at any of the items in those suggestions previously?

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."
