Trying to use SampleTank 3 for the acoustic bass. All notes on it play except the "A" note. I can not figure out why.
Anyone got some ideas?
I am thinking that BB is wanting to play a note out of ST3 range. But it will play a A# with no problem, but not an "A" or "A flat". And if I use CW TTS-1 it plays fine.
Is there a way that I can ell BB to play the notes an octave higher? Or is this another one of those simple midi things I should know!! : ) LOL

Try switching the ST Bass with a piano. Does it play the A then? What A is it exactly, A0 or A1 the lowest...? Finally you don't have a demo version of ST do you? Sometimes some notes are silent in the demo.

Yes it is simple, just poke around in BIAB menus and you will see an option to adjust the octave up or down for a specific track\instrument. Or you can change octave in ST.

Thanks for the reply Musicstudent.
I can see that the notes SampleTank is receiving is below the range of the instrument. I think it's A0. But if I put a A# in the chord box, it plays the A#1 note! That's what I am not understanding about BB. Why would it choose to do that?

That's what I am not understanding about BB. Why would it choose to do that? This may be due to octaves. Bass and guitar are written one octave higher then they actually sound. Some bass and guitar software and patches take that in consideration. BUT some do not take that into consideration. So if you have a bass or guitar patch that is written or played in the correct pitches but the sound source you are using is expecting input to be an octave higher then some notes will not be heard. The reverse is also a problem and you will have to transpose notes down an octave. I run into this all of the time. Also to further confuse the issue is that although middle C is MIDI 60 some companies call that C3, C4, or C5! There is no real standard for what you call middle C. Now to really blow our minds some of the inexpensive GM sounds will cover all 88 notes. It doesn't really care in what octave you are playing you will hear a note! Most all of these are not sounding realistic when they are played out of the range of an instrument. I hope that I didn't confuse you to much.

Mario, now it’s all perfectly clear!
Kidding of course. You gave a good summary of some of the challenges.

Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac - 49 Requests Fulfilled!
49 of your Problems solved? List of 49 Requests fulfilled in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac.
With Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac there are a lot of new features, 202 RealTracks, and more. We get ideas for the new features and new RealTracks from our users. There are several sources, our Wishlist and general forum, support phone calls, trade shows, etc. In most cases, customers are not describing a new feature – they are describing a problem they have that they would like to have solved.
Here is a list of our features and additions in Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac, presented from a unique perspective. It is from this customer list of "problems they would like solved." These are not exact quotes, they are paraphrased from our discussions with our customers. They explain what problems and requests they discussed with us, that resulted in the various new features and RealTracks. Hopefully this answers the question "Why did you add this feature/content?"
So, without further ado, here are the 49 requests/problems that we (hopefully) have solved with the release of Band-in-a-Box® 2019. We hope that many of them are relevant to you as well. And please keep suggesting new ones, we appreciate that.
Q. Almost all of my music apps are 64 bit, as is my Mac OS. But Band-in-a-Box® is 32 bit. And Apple's next OS, Catalina 10.15 is set to be released in October 2019 (the beta is available now), and that won't even run 32-bit apps! Can you make a 64 bit version?
A. Yes, we’ve done this with Band-in-a-Box® 2019 for Mac. The app is 64 bit and the executable name is still Band-in-a-Box®.app (if you have an older 32-bit version it will get automatically renamed during the install to Band-in-a-Box®-32bit.app ).
Q. I have 64 bit plugins that I want to use with Band-in-a-Box®. But they only work with 64 bit apps. Can I use them with Band-in-a-Box® 2019, without having to use any special software for this?
A. Yes, 64 bit Plugins work natively with the 64 bit version of Band-in-a-Box® 2019. This means you can use your 64 bit plugins, including ones that use huge amounts of memory (more than 2GB).
Q. Does Band-in-a-Box® 2019 work on the latest OS, Catalina 10.15, as that has many changes?
A. Yes, Band-in-a-Box® 2019 is 64-bit and runs great on Catalina (and older OS's down to and including 10.6.8 Snow Leopard)
Q. I like Snow Leopard as an OS (10.6.8), will Band-in-a-Box® 2019 still run on that with all features working?
A. Yes, Band-in-a-Box® 2019 64 bit version runs great on older OS's including Snow Leopard, and has identical features and operation to the newer OS's
