129. After importing a MIDI file with drums into Band-in-a-Box®, I can see the drum notes in the Notation Window but they do not play.

You might also encounter this problem when recording drums directly into Band-in-a-Box® from some external synths. Right-click on one of the drum notes, select 'Edit Note', and check to see if the note has 'zero' duration. If it does, the problem is that Band-in-a-Box® doesn't play zero duration drum notes. One solution would be to go through each of the notes and edit them so that they have a non zero duration. An easier solution is to use a MIDI sequencer such as PowerTracks Pro Audio to quantize the drum track notes. For example, in PowerTracks you could:

  1. Go to Edit | Quantize.
  2. Put a checkmark beside 'durations'.
  3. uncheck 'start times'.
  4. set the Resolution to 'sixteenth', and press OK.
