I think it has be proven across the industry as the most creative way to input Midi. I think if your user community could create and share Midi styles the number of users would grow considerably.

I think if your user community could create and share Midi styles the number of users would grow considerably. users DO create and trade styles... this has been possible for years. Search the web for "free BIAB styles" here is one hit of many: http://www.mmissary.com/p21.htm Also, there is a Yahoo group for BIAB that has several download directories dedicated to songs and user created styles. Membership in 3 different groups is required to access ALL of the files Home page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Band-in-a-Box or: http://www.biabgroup.com/ File Archive1: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Band-in-a-Box/files File Archive2: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Band-in-a-Box-Files/files File Archive3: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Band-in-a-Box-Files2/files And if you want top notch pro styles, Bob (Notes) Norton, a member of this forum, sells them commercially at http://www.nortonmusic.com/ https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ey71h8ep047758h/AAC12jNM0Hz9Q8zsh5iDeqNHa?dl=0

To have to record realtime for a measure for each instrument and part A/B without the visual editor or without the capability to import for all the great Midi editors available, seems a wast.

Then you can pull the different patterns for the style back in from the midi file. Inside the stylemaker you can select a pattern and instead of recording it, under the pull-down Pattern menu select the "Import Pattern from Midi file" option. Just saying.

The dropdown menus reset at the darnedest times, and the commands are somewhat clumsy, especially the basic Create Note action (shift-ctrl-LMB). It's simply a pain to work with, compared to pretty much every other MIDI editor out 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!

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.
