Version 3 is not free but you can try it out for free for 15 days. Small price to pay for a lifetime license.

The license is around $17 and it good for BOTH programs.

Like it says on the website.

'All my software is freeware - except for SynthFont2 and VSTSynthFont Version 3. The license you get by donating is valid for both items - get 2 for 1!'

Ok, I see that now.. I just thought is was free, since it come with BB... And in BB that screen has not come up, yet.. But perhaps it will...;) PG-Music should include it in the price, imo, since most user use a DAW beside BB, I guess..;)

I suppose PG pays a fee so we get it for free, it's $18 to buy.
You could pipe it to BB with LoopMidi.

I think PGMusic licenses it for use with BiaB only.

I can't get it to load in RealBand either here and get the same popup.
I have other font players so not that big of a deal.

Thanks,

Is there any other one that I can use in Biab that will do the same thing as Vstsynth64 that will also load soundfonts and able to be used as default synth?

I have done a search but can find nothing.

Wow thank you Pipeline, must try that, just thinking what you don't know about biab is probably not worth knowing such is you knowledge.

Thanks so much for all the help you have given me and others on here, really appreciated.

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!

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."
