I've been using BIAB ver 11 successfully for ages now but suddenly it's started playing back all my tunes and accompaniments one tone flat. This doesn't happen with my other MIDI programs. Even if I start a brand new file and leave it in C, the C chord and the rest of the accompaniment plays back as Bb. I don't remember changing anything which I would expect to cause this. Help!

Prefs -> Transpose and reset to Concert pitch.

If that doesn't do it, Options -> Return to Factory Settings certainly will.

This is what worked for me in BIAB 2013 Windows - no guarantees - but I hope it works.

A possible cause s that a Transposition was executed form the notation window. These changes DO NOT reset to the default when BIAB is closed.

User must reopen notation window, go to “OPTIONS” then Set “Transpose” value (middle of screen) to “0”.

Thanks for those suggestions guys. I tried all (except the factory reset) to no avail. Any other ideas before I resort to factory reset?

Well, what soundcard do you have? Are other audio applications playing flat, or is it just BIAB? I recall a command on the old SoundBlasters to change pitch.

The Return to Factory Settings in BIAB isn't as bad as it sounds. In newer versions it will first prompt you to save your settings. But wait - you said you have "version 11". Is that really version 11, from a decade ago, or version 2011?

Exactly the same thing happened to me a few weeks back....but by 4 semitones
After trying everything without success, I did a factory reset as suggested by Mac, which solved the problem

Thanks again all. Yes it is BIAB 2011 and no my other MIDI/soundcard programs aren't affected. I'll go for restoring Factory Settings.

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.
