I was having trouble opening/using a RB file recently (Error message: "Not enough memory to map soundfont").
In the ports dropdown, I noticed I had about six instances of SampleTank (I presume this was from trying different instruments for various tracks).
I'm guessing this is the cause of my "Not enough memory to map soundfont" problems.
But how do I remove these SampleTank instances from the slots?
Similarly, I've noticed in other RB files where I have rendered Kontakt midi tracks to Wav files, a black Kontakt screen flashes up (and disappears) when I open the files. Does this mean Kontakt is still using up memory in these files that have only Wav tracks? If so, how do I fix this?
Please help.
Mike

To remove synths from ports, just right click the track, go to Ports and change the synth selection to None (or default DXi).

I don't know about the black Kontakt screen.

Hi Rharv, thanks for responding but after I click the track and select ports I can see all the ports and their assigned synths but I still can't see an an option to select "none".

In that list click on the desired Port, then it's in the top drop down of the resulting window (from memory).

Or maybe, if that Track is assigned to that Port/Synth already
try clicking Edit VSTi/DXi
Then in the resulting dropdown change it from whatever it is to None.

Thanks rharv. Your second suggestion did the trick. Cheers, Mike

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."
