Hey, maybe I am missing a trick somewhere, but sometimes BIAB plays piano sounds on all tracks apart from the drum track.
Even re-selecting or refreshing the choice of midi patch, eg guitar, bass or anything else, does not seem to help to revert the sound back. In the mixer it shows the chosen patch, but the sound playing is a standard piano sound.
Looking at the midi monitor, it seems as if the patches are not activated. The monitor shows that the values for the program change messages (shown as controller types MSB and LSB) are set to 0.
1 0 1 B1 00 00 Control Change ($Bx) 2 CC Type = #0 Bank Select MSB CC Value = 0
2 0 1 B1 20 00 Control Change ($Bx) 2 CC Type = #32 Bank Select LSB CC Value = 0
3 0 1 B2 00 00 Control Change ($Bx) 3 CC Type = #0 Bank Select MSB CC Value = 0
4 0 1 B2 20 00 Control Change ($Bx) 3 CC Type = #32 Bank Select LSB CC Value = 0
5 0 1 B5 00 00 Control Change ($Bx) 6 CC Type = #0 Bank Select MSB CC Value = 0
6 0 1 B5 20 00 Control Change ($Bx) 6 CC Type = #32 Bank Select LSB CC Value = 0
7 0 1 B6 00 00 Control Change ($Bx) 7 CC Type = #0 Bank Select MSB CC Value = 0
8 0 1 B6 20 00 Control Change ($Bx) 7 CC Type = #32 Bank Select LSB CC Value = 0
9 0 1 B3 00 00 Control Change ($Bx) 4 CC Type = #0 Bank Select MSB CC Value = 0
10 0 1 B3 20 00 Control Change ($Bx) 4 CC Type = #32 Bank Select LSB CC Value = 0
11 0 1 B7 00 00 Control Change ($Bx) 8 CC Type = #0 Bank Select MSB CC Value = 0
12 0 1 B7 20 00 Control Change ($Bx) 8 CC Type = #32 Bank Select LSB CC Value = 0
13 0 1 B4 00 00 Control Change ($Bx) 5 CC Type = #0 Bank Select MSB CC Value = 0
14 0 1 B4 20 00 Control Change ($Bx) 5 CC Type = #32 Bank Select LSB CC Value = 0
15 0 1 B2 07 5A Control Change ($Bx) 3 CC Type = #7 Main Volume MSB CC Value = 90
16 0 1 B5 07 5A Control Change ($Bx) 6 CC Type = #7 Main Volume MSB CC Value = 90
17 0 1 B6 07 5A Control Change ($Bx) 7 CC Type = #7 Main Volume MSB CC Value = 90
18 0 1 B1 07 5A Control Change ($Bx) 2 CC Type = #7 Main Volume MSB CC Value = 90
19 0 1 B9 07 5A Control Change ($Bx) 10 CC Type = #7 Main Volume MSB CC Value = 90
20 0 1 B3 07 5A Control Change ($Bx) 4 CC Type = #7 Main Volume MSB CC Value = 90
21 0 1 B7 07 5A Control Change ($Bx) 8 CC Type = #7 Main Volume MSB CC Value = 90
22 0 1 B4 07 5A Control Change ($Bx) 5 CC Type = #7 Main Volume MSB ....
My current version is Win 2020 (706).

I don't think this is your issue, but initially, you should update to the latest released version which is 713

Hi DEAN
Msb 0 Lsb 0 will send your midi patch as the default midi voice/patch set to your synth .
So you need to use a gm synth. Or dxi or vsti
Try the Coyote wave table and tick the box in midi settings to use VSTi/ DXI synth
The default midi patch if you do no send another will be a piano as this is patch 0
You can change this in the mixer, vibes will be patch 12.

Thanks guys, I will get onto both of those and see whether it makes a difference.
The strange thing is that most of the times the instrument choices stay put, but sometimes they don't.
Last time this happened, I was clicking through the plugin and patch panels on the mixer... and that somehow upset the system.
Anyway... let's see whether it's still the same for 713 and I'll look into using the Coyote as well.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

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!

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

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."
