This is driving me slightly crazy. BIAB is changing my Multi- program in my Synth module (Yamaha Motif-Rack ES). It does it every time. I stop a biab file, dial in the Module program, run it, stop. A new program sounds (I don't know what, something different, redial the multi I want to play. Everytime. It is driving me crazy. Is there a preference or something that I can change?

Jim, how are you assigning the multis? Do you assign them manually on the ES or are you using BIAB? You need to get an .ini or .pat patchmap file for the ES and assign the sounds from within BIAB. Also, if you are pulling a midi file from the internet, check to be sure that a program change has not been programmed into the midi file to assigned patches to the tracks.

I'm not sure I understand what is meant by 'assigning' the multis. The basic receive and transmit channels are "1" as per the manual. I never had a patch map with the ES/BIAB connection in the past and didn't suffer this problem. I have no idea how to get an .ini or .pat patchmap file for the ES. As regards the midi files from the internet, I did have a problem in the past, but that was solved by clearing the list editor in the midi files. The problem I'm having now is with home grown BIAB files.

Jim, you need the patch map for your Yamaha, and the good news is that there is already one written. Go here and get it: http://www.pgmusic.com/support_miscellaneous.htm

Download the .PAT file and place it in your /BB folder. You should also read it as a text file to learn more about what it is doing, but that's not essential now.

When you right-click on a patch name in the mixer (Example: Instrument 49 Strings), choose Select MIDI patch, then Select Higher Bank patch from .PAT file.

BIAB will prompt you to load the .PAT file. Do that, then your correct patches will appear as choices on your left.

Then remember to always Save As with Patches and Harmony (Alt+F2).

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!

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.
