I insert the VSTi or VST3i into Reaper
I load a style successfully
I enter some chords
I generate the tracks successfully
I click Select and then choose "Select a Multiriff..."
I choose a RealTrack for the multiriff and click OK
Nothing appears to happen...
I click Custom...and click All Riffs under Multi Riff Generation
Nothing ever happens...

This has worked (not worked) that way in any version I have tried including the latest 607. And it doesn't work in the stand-alone nor the VST.

I've just started exploring the VST plugin. "Generate > "Multi Riff generation" is not available (not clickable) on my system.

Am I doing something wrong?

Cerio, in typical PGM fashion, they have chosen to use menus in a way that is odd! You would click "All Riffs" under the "--- Multi Riff Generator" but you're not missing anything because, while that is clickable, it doesn't work.

To generate multiriffs you start with select then multiriff then wait for menu then select RT then it fails

Ok, but as I said, "Select > Multiriff" is not clickable for some reason.

Yes, I'm having the same result you reported above, click on "All riffs" does nothing.

As I sit on the fence I have a couple observations which may help.

It is one of three things

1) Operator error crazy
2) Wait for the next patch cry
3) No one else is having this issue, so it must be your system. whistle

Yes, I've used BIAB for years and I've never found any bug, so it must be that. grin

Watching the tutorial is shows that first after you pick a style and generate the Real Tracks, you next from the select menu tab chose multiriff and that opens the RT picker, choose the RT you want and click ok. That is where mine goes south nothing generates. I have allowed up to 15 minutes. At that point multiriff is grayed out.

I did figure out that you click all riffs to generate.

I actually have got it to work but only for short songs and nothing over 6 bars of riff

I'm having the same issues, but in Cubase. No solo me-oh.

The plug-in was the major reason I upgraded to BIAB 2019.

And actually I should point out that the I can't use the plug-in to generate ANY audio. It's not just the multiriff that doesn't work.

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."
