Is it just me? I added a midi organ to replace the organ in a Real Style which played fine in BIAB. Opened in RB and no midi track but the original Real Tracks organ was there.

Went back to BIAB, froze the tracks and then the midi track waa there when I opened in RB.

Midi tracks only seem to carry over when the BIAB file is frozen.

Bob,

Is this a midi Supertrack or an ordinary midi track that was added to the style via "Stylemaker | Make a hybrid style"?

If you can give specific details such as the name of the original style and the midi track you used, I'll try and replicate what you experienced.

Regards,
Noel

I think I added a custom midi track via the mixer drop down and used 'presets' to give me a choice

It was a fairly basic organ part

Thanks, Bob. That helps.

I tried the above, and it's exactly as you say. Even though the Custom Midi saves with the SGU file, it does not open correctly in RB unless the midi track is frozen.

I've reported this to the development team and have referenced this thread.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Guys,

I've replicated the issue, and will make sure it's added to the bug list.

Cheers!

Hi Guys,

Thought you might like to know the results of my tests concerning this issue:

If you assign a Custom MIDI Style to a track other than Melody or Soloist in BIAB, don't freeze the MIDI track, and open the song in RB, that Custom MIDI Track is ignored, and doesn't show up under any circumstances.

If you've put it on the Melody or Soloist track, then it shows up like a regular BB Melody or Soloist track, whether frozen or unfrozen.

If you replace a RealTrack with a Custom MIDI Track and freeze it, whatever RealTrack would have been there otherwise opens in RB, and the Custom MIDI Track shows up like the RealChart for that track, labelled RC (for RealChart), whether your settings say you want RealCharts to open or not.

If you assign a Custom MIDI Track to a blank track, or one that originally contained MIDI (other than Melody or Soloist) and freeze it, then it comes up in RB like a normal BB MIDI track, no issues or weirdness.

Thanks
Kent

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? 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."
