Hi yjoh,

Yes, it's a hardware synth. I haven't tried to program the SD2, but I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the help.

One thing I just noticed about this song: it has a melody harmony -- 32 Joe Pass -- activated. I don't normally use this feature, so I hadn't paid attention to it, but, if I turn it off, the jazz guitar override is also removed, and I can change the melody instrument to whatever I want.

Yjoh: That's one way for sure. The other is to go into Song Settings under overrides and turn off the patch changes there. This affects just the song, not BIAB as a whole.

By jove, I think you've got it!

Title: IPANEMA (THE GIRL FROM)
File:The Girl From Ipanema2.MGU
Key=F , Tempo 160, Length (m:s)=3:12
4 bar intro, 40 bar chorus, from bar 5 to bar 44. Repeat x3 choruses
Melody has 390 notes, Melody harmony is Joe Pass(32)
No Soloist track.
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0,
Style is _BOSSAG.STY (Bossa with Guitar (140 RS))
Style MIDI Instruments are :
RealTracks in style: ~464:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa Ev 140
RealTracks in style: ~467:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm Bossa Ev 140
RealDrums in style: BossaTerryClarke^2-a:Brushes , b:Blastix

All the other workarounds described were just strange to me. But this one makes sense since I had not seen this problem before and I don't use the Harmony feature.

Nice problem-solving here guys. What a team.

Last post for the night,

I experimented and this works but it may not be want you want.

In the preferences options,under Environment Options at the left, when I unclicked the "ok to save/load reverb,vol etc w/songs"
box then loaded in Ipanema, I could change the melody patches at will and they stayed on what I wanted when I hit play. YES!

Hope that helps. I'm off for the night. Will see what others come up with tomorrow.

Good luck.

Just seen the last posts. So glad it's been solved, good pickup on the melody harmony. I can sleep now!

The Ketron SD2 automatically resets itself read to receive and play GM and Upper Banks every time its Power switch is cycled.


That should be all that is needed as far as the SD2 is concerned.

Yes, the Guitar Harmony feature, in this case apparently one of the Joe Pass jazz guitar harmonies, is handled a bit differently than what happens when one loads a single Instrument Patch in BiaB. Sounds like the OP has got it sorted now.

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?

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."
