Installed on D:\bb - Band-in-a-Box 2019 UltraPAK Upgrade with RealBand

If I look in my Soloists folder (D:\bb\soloists) I have 4,150 items.

In my old version (I upgraded from version 2007 or something) I had some great guitar soloists, one of them was Jeff Lorber. Now in my Soloist dialog box the Jeff Lorber entry has "N/A" in front of it and I can't select it.

Additionally, when I go into "What add-ons do I have?" under Soloists I only have these listed:
"Soloist Disk Sets : 12 Andy Laverne Mainstream, 13 Andy Laverne Pentatonic"

I feel I'm missing something. Maybe I've not installed them all from the downloaded install files?

Hi,

Those particular MIDI soloists are not part of the current UltraPAK, however if you've had them in the past they'll still work fine. Search for four .ST2 files that start with AL_ and JL_ and copy them into your current Soloists folder.

You have about 4150 files in your Soloists folder, that's what we would expect for an UltraPAK.

Thank you. I tried that and every step of it gave an error message. Here's an example . . .

>>>>>> mergeFolders
source = D:\bb\JGSOLOS
dest = D:\bb\Songs and Lessons\JGSOLOS
backup = D:\bb\Data\Backup\Misc\
ERROR: source dir does not exist: D:\bb\JGSOLOS
ERROR: dest dir does not exist: D:\bb\Songs and Lessons\JGSOLOS
<<<<<< mergeFolders errorCount 0

???!?

Thanks Andrew

I'd posted the message below, but since then have searched around on my old pcs and found some BB Soloist downloads, so will update when I've copied/installed on the new pc.

Thanks

Killer

****************


there's a bit of a problem with that, as this is a new install on a new pc. I've looked on my older pc for the styles but can't find them. The original install disks are in storage (it's all a bit complicated!).

I'm hoping PG Music still hold a record of my purchases from way back. Would it be possible for me to contact Sales or Support, verify my old purchases and get these older styles? If not, is it possible to re-purchase them?

Also, should I expect the 4000+ of Soloists to be listed in my add-ons?

Thanks again.

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.
