Wow, the programmers really do watch this thread. In fact they have done a couple of my favorite requests:
1. fixed the scrolling issues relating to re-sizing screens (that was an enormous relief for me not to have to fuss with that anymore - THANKS)
2. Organ no bass (close but need more). Anyone that's helped lug a B3 up a circular staircase knows the sound was worth it, but we only wanted him to play pedal bass if we couldn't afford a real bass player (no offense to Jimmy Smith intended). Now with the addition of "jazz organ no bass" that is possible, but it is inconvenient to change and regenerate the piano realtrack window to organ no bass to accomplish this, and it doesn't always get the desired sound; example: I want that nice sound of jazzorgan60 with the held subtle chords for nice slow ballads, not the choppy sound I would have to settle for changing to organ no bass 85 (closest tempo)and then generate a too busy acoustic realtrack - which doesn't quite get it. (am I doing something wrong?).
The one they haven't got to yet: I'll resubmit it in another wish list my desire for a dedicated harmonizer function to run a midi channel at the same time with my realtracks and coyote dxi to send the chord information to my midi vocal harmonizer (digitech vocalist pro). Right now I have to use a guitar input to generate the harmonies (I've tried many suggested work-arounds unsuccessfully).
All in all, I commend the programming staff for their tireless efforts to please people like us!!

Thanks Peter. I tried those settings on a slow 60 ballad. The bass is fine, but the organ is still a little too choppy for that nice quiet bar setting I'm looking for (like _JAZOR60).
Again, thanks for all your hard work. This program rocks! I saw Robert Conti using it in a youtube video the other day (also Jimmy Bruno and all the big guys!)
Love it!

I have a harmonizer but it's in the chain just past the Ketron SD2 I got from pgmusic a while back. Too bad you can't just loop the cable back into the computer.
I'd be interested to see if that worked, I've played my keyboard into the plug in synth and that works fine so ?? Or does it endlessly loop?

Hi Mike,
As long as you have the latest updates for the new RealTracks, using holds for the "No Bass" Organ styles might give you the desired result. Of course you would have to hold the Organ track only. For example:
G7...bdgs (assuming Organ is on the P - Piano track)

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
