Hi, I'm sure this has been covered before but... When I create, for example, a BIAB file with a built-in style change like bossa-to swing it doesn't show up in RealBand. In other words, it stays in the bossa style and doesn't go to swing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, RC
I did a test by creating a Bossa Style song using a Bossa Style Demo in Band in a Box (BIAB). I changed the chorus's from 3 to 1 for a 32 bar song.
At Bar 17 (halfway through the song) I opened Bar Settings (F5) and selected the StylePicker Button and changed the Bossa style to a Swing 8 Style. I generated the song and at Bar 17, the style did change from the Bossa to the Swing Style.
I saved and closed the BIAB file and reopened and regenerated and confirmed the saved file also properly changes style.
I opened the saved BIAB in RealBand
It generated the song but I observed it generated the first style in the first half of the song 1-16 and then generated the second half of the song 17-32 in the second style.
The song played correctly using both styles.
I've attached a screen shot and it clearly shows the style change in the audio wav forms at bar 17.
Don't know if it's any help but changing styles works as expected on my system.
Thanks. But, this has been an on-going problem for me. Just to be absolutely clear, the style change works just fine in BIAB. It only stops working when I bring the BIAB file into RealBand. I know that's what you tried and that it worked for you. I appreciate your time and effort! Anybody else have this problem? RC
re "Maybe a biab setting or rb setting got changed": I'm sure it's something like that. What I've done to get around it is to create a WAV file in BIAB and import that into RealBand. I guess I'm the only one who has seen this problem. Thanks again, RC
I loaded a BIAB MGU into the VST in Cubase. It played the MGU with the style as it was voiced originally, but ignored another RT i selected for this particular MGU file. BIAB played the RT changes alright, but the VST did not. This VST IS STILL USELESS! Who tested this VST? After more than a year still such basic faults.
Just get BIAB to slave to MTC or MidClock, a thing i and many wished for since Atari days ....
If you're asking if I may be missing something obvious and doing something stupid it's a distinct possibility... I'll take another look. Thanks again...

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.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
