===========================================
Also, this is for MIDI "Styles" requests. If you have requests for MIDI Features, post them here http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/showflat.p...SID=#Post342842 .
We have made over 2,000 MIDI styles, but some people want more.... which is great!

We need to hear specific requests for what MIDI styles you would like. For example, we don't want to make styles that already exist in our 2,000 styles.

What are you looking for ?Jazz ?HipHop ?Country ?Rock

Please post the request here, or if you've already posted it elsewhere, post a link to that here.
If you agree with another user's post, add a +1 to it.

We'll collect these requests, and make some more MIDI styles disks (likely for 2012.5 release)


So here we are with the release of 2014 and still NO NEW MIDI STYLES ! Why ask us what we want and say your going to make new MIDI Styles when you clearly HAVE NOT , and as it now appears , WILL NOT ??? What a shame ... My theory is the genius who was involved with writing the MIDI STYLES is no longer with PG Music . No other logical explanation fits IMO . Wouldn't those Real Tracks strings sound so much better playing through Garritan Personal Orchestra , or the horns through Garritan Jazz Big Band ? What about instead of Real Tracks drums those same tracks could be used to trigger the 558gigs of samples in my BFD2 and BFD3 libraries where I could switch out kits or any of the drum or percussion components , snare , kick , toms , cymbals , or anything I wanted in that library ? More high quality MIDI triggered sample libraries are being produced every year . I have over 900gigs in various libraries now that I use , plus 8 hardware synth modules all sounding WAAAAAAY BETTER than Real Tracks , and none of them can be used because you can not trigger them with an audio Real Tracks file .
As I said ," WHAT A SHAME "!

Peter,

I have made this request before, but with the addition of the Legato feature it would be especially nice to have new Ambient, New Age, Electro, and related Styles. Now BIAB can play long, dreamy pads and washes without that choppy sound that was so labor intensive to edit out.

Question: Will present Styles play legato in 2014?

Thanks for everything,

Richard

Version 2015 and still no new midi styles ...

It looks like they are trying to fool buyers with the info listed on this page . I called and they told me it was a typo . Really ?

http://www.pgmusic.com/bbwin.packages.every.htm

Compare the Band-in-a-Box 2015 EverythingPAK with older Versions .

How Many MIDI Styles ?

(2015) - 2,000+
(2014) - 1,600+
(2013) - 1,400+
(2012) - 700+

They need to fix the typo , so people who would buy if there were new midi styles , don't do so , as they will only be disappointed . What a shame again !

I for on ewould like to see more 4 part styles. You guys started developing them and then dropped them. Like otheres I like the real tracks but perfer the MIDI tracks for the ability to play better /different sounds from sound librarys and the ability to edit and fine tune the files. So 2000+ files isn't enough. 100,000, 250,000 or a million styles would be even better. I also like the idea of being able to use loops which in fact opens up a whole new area of styles. Just keep up the work gang. More, more, and even more!!

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."
