1st In my 2018 Mac version latest update /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Plugin Settings folders I have a bunch of instruments as: Hi-Q 025 01 Guitar, Acoustic, Nylon Sforzando.tgs Hi-Q 026 01 Guitar, Acoustic, Warm Picked Sforzando.tgs Hi-Q 026 02 Guitar, Acoustic, Finger Picked Sforzando.tgs Hi-Q 026 03 Guitar, Acoustic, 12 String Sforzando.tgs Hi-Q 027 01 Guitar, Electric, Jazz Sforzando.tgs Hi-Q 028 01 Guitar, Electric, Classic Rock Sforzando.tgs Hi-Q 028 02 Guitar, Electric, Hard Rock Sforzando.tgs and more I would like to use, they come with txt files with description however I am unable to find them when in the Mixer window I select Select Midi Super track I installed them from my ULTRAPAK choosing the separate installers (not just copying the Application as is in the small BIAB hard drive) How can I access these files and use them?
2nd I don't have a plug in folder in the BIAB application folder only the Plugin Settings folders and when I select "Plugin" I don't see sforzando nor Amplitude
3rd How can I transpose just one track to a higher or lower octave (mainly midi files)
Hi D, Are you trying to select the instrument here ?

NO I can't see them in these libraries in the general MacOS Library, nor in the User Library to install them I used the pkgs in the hards drive BIAB sent me about a months ago the folders list is as follows Applications Band-in-a-Box Setup.pkg Band-in-a-Box UltraPAK License.rtf PDF Manuals Plugins ReadMe First.rtf
the Plugins folder as follows Plugins Audio & MIDI Plugins Installer.pkg Data AmpliTube Install AmpliTube 3.10.mpkg Installation and Authorization Manual.pdf Uninstall AmpliTube.app Sforzando Install HiQ_Instruments.pkg Install_Sforzando_v1.916.pkg ReadMe.rtf I used Install HiQ_Instruments.pkg and Install_Sforzando_v1.916.pkg which I now find in /Applications/Band-in-a-Box/Plugin Settings
In the Plugins dialog, click the Default Synth button. Click on the top drop-down menu on the right. Do you see "Plogue... Sforzando" in the list? If not, what other items do you see in the list?

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
