https://youtu.be/Bcx2MyaNQU8Naturally, when I saw this, I knew I had to experiment. Much of the theory is beyond me, but the concept is rather simple. It's application that might be difficult. Also, making this a "thing" in BIAB is a fun challenge with surprising results. Got any ideas? Keyboard players have the edge as it is easier to play two distinct triads at the same time--one for left hand, one for right, and to change voicings between them. Some more piano based theory videos have hinted at this, but it was never explained as precisely as this.

How can it be the wrong chord if its right?
Years ago we used to drive guitarists nuts because we used the C Am trick where the rhythm player played the Am and I, lead, played a C and played lead in C or Em. But I hadn't thought about other substitution until now so thanx for sharing.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

This is definitely some interesting food for thought and something I am sure many would be curious to experiment with if they have not already. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us!
Cheers,
Ember

I loaded up a simple style with a strumming guitar, a finger=picked guitar, bass and drums and had them play 8 bars of a C major chord. Froze all but the finger=picked guitar and changed the chord sheet to play a bar of the diatonic triads in the key of C (C, Dm, Em, F, G, Am, Bdim) and listened to the results. Some sounded very smooth and natural. Others more spicy (but not completely unmusical).
It would take more theory knowledge and confidence than I have to make a full piece. Besides, some of the "combinations" are not difficult for a single instrument to play, and are almost certainly in most Real Tracks "library" of recorded chords. For example. if Am over Cmajor produces Am7.
But I can see it being useful with BIAB for altered voicings, just the aural effect, and (with maybe simple extended chords stacked with other chords), a way to get the sound of some complex chords that one cannot get from a single RT, or maybe even from a single instrument at all without sounding thin (if not impossible).
Anyway, the "philosophical" takeaway is that it isn't what's played, it is what is HEARD that's important.
Still open for ideas on how to use this in our favorite musical program.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

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."
