Hi Kris,

Amaj7 (omit 5) does not exist as a BIAB chord. Normally one would simply enter Amaj7.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Kris. When playing keyboard I often omit 5s in the left hand, especially when the is melody line is playing around the 5, #5, and b5. So your chord would be a good thing to have.

Noel is right - no can do.

FYI, if you have a keyboard hooked up, BIAB has a great feature from which you can learn what chord "it" thinks various make. When in the chord view play a chord on the keyboard, hit Ctrl-Enter, and BIAB will enter the (last) chord you played in the chord view cell. So play A C# E G#, hit Ctrl-Enter, and it enters AM7. Play A C# G#, and it enters, umm, AM7. Point is you can see what chord BIAB thinks you played.

If you are using RealTracks then Noel is right. But if you are working with MIDI you can. When you are finished working on the song go to each track's piano roll view, delete the Es on the AMaj7 no 5 chords then freeze the track. It's a work around but it does work if you are using MIDI.


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

I wonder if Db5/A would work in some RTs? Best - Andy

Thanks for replies,
They were very helpful.

I still have 2010 Band in a Box version, do you guys know if chord builder is still the same in 2015?

That chord builder finder that I showed in a picture from jamplay is amazing.
It would be great if Band in a Box had something similar.

I might be wrong but I do not recall any relevant change from 2010 in the chords that are supported. There are a few changes involving Dim chords and add2, but that doesn't apply to your question.

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."
