I recently bought EZkeys to complement my BIAB tools and I am really enjoying this software/library. BUT the window is TINY on a large monitor. Does anyone know of any way to increase the size of one Windows application like EZkeys without changing the monitor resolution? Thanks in advance.

I would guess that the answer is similar to the one given (by a Toontrack developer) for EZDrummer 2... (meaning, there is, inherently, no way to resize)

I am sure you are correct. I have never found any way to increase its size.

You can use dual monitors and put it on the low resolution monitor.
Or as mentioned Magnify start it up and use ctrl+alt and mouse wheel to zoom in/out and pan, just set the zoom amount in the Magnifier config.

This is a consequence of still being on Version 1 after all these years.
Just an example of a great program which has not gotten any love from the developers to move it beyond version 1

BTW, I have recently integrated EZKeys with Scaler. Very happy with the results and the promise of what this can do to assist in my music making.

Imagine if the BiabVST was like Ezkeys still in version 1 because they got it right the first time.

I wish the BIAB team would use tools like EZkeys or Kontakt or even a modern DAW on a regular basis to actually produce music and thereby gain the experience of how a solid tool works and feels.

Or maybe they could purchase and analyze these tools for ideas for BIAB upgrades. In the two images I've attached for example, I gotta believe they could add that popup circle of fifths style chord chooser in a week!

Even though these tools all have their share of quirks (small window!) they are generally super solid and deliver exactly what was promised from the start.

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."
