John-Luke:

Robert is right... I listened, and the one in Bank 10 has very different FX on it, but both have the same name. The guys that invent these patch banks at the factory have never been completely consistent (or reliable). We often have to tweak these things.

If you go into the Realband directory, and load the patches.ini file into Notepad or other text editor, you can just scroll down to Bank 10, number 75, and change "Lip Flute" to "Lip Flute - 2". Then re-open RB, which will convert the patches.ini file to "patches.bin", and voila (as they say in your neck of the bois) your patch is re-named. I just did it, it works. (Don't forget to save your original "patches.ini" file under some other name, like "patches.old" in case something goes wrong.)

Bonne Chance!

Just got my Ketron SD2 device some days ago, and it seems that the patches 041(violin) thru 044 (contrabass), bank A, are the same voices. As far I understand, if we want the violin sound, we need to start from G2 note and above, for viola use C2 note and above, for cello use C1 note and above and for contrabrass use C0 note and above.
Does anybody use these patches and did somebody notice that ?

Hi John-Luke,

I have used the Ketron SD2 for a couple of years and I can assure you that the patches to which you refer are correctly identified. I would suggest that you have a Violin patch in the event list for the track you are testing which overrides any settings you make in the Tracks Windows.

Sometimes when PGMusic update RealBand or PTW the default Patches.ini is included which overwrites your personal file. I would also suggest keeping a copy of your personal Patches.ini in a safe place.

LynB, In fact I test the SD2 module from my master keyboard connected directly to the MIDI IN of the SD2.

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!

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.

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."
