Accessible from the Play Menu (or by selecting F12), you would choose this if your MIDI notes are stuck ON and it’s driving you crazy! Also within the Band-in-a-Box® Play Menu is the "Panic should also Reset DXi synth" option, which will clear hung DXi/VSTi notes. Callie Marketing Representative PG Music Inc.

But did you know it used to be an actual button - an icon? I'm pretty sure that was removed in the GUI makeover of 2018 and I miss it. Unless it's hiding in plain sight somewhere...

P.S. - My mind is getting carried away now but I'm thinking about this in cars where everything is moving to computer based interfaces - just imagine if you had to press F12 to get the button for the Emergency Brake icon!

With the floating mixer and the original control panel I see the New Features button but the button says 2020. With the fixed mixer and the original control panel New Features become a drop down menu selection. With the minimal (new) control panel view and the Misc tab selected the New Features 2020 button is available.
