1) Do you have a trial/demo version of BIAB to try before I purchase ?

2) Which version I should buy to get the vst plugin version ?

3) I saw in video BIAB generates audio tracks in FL Studio. Similarly can BIAB VST plugin generate midi tracks in FL Studio ?

4) Can I use .sty, .prs, or other arranger keyboard (yamaha and korg) style files with BIAB?

I have asked that they have a trial/limited demo of the vstPlugin

2) Which version I should buy to get the vst plugin version ?
The vstPlugin comes with all versions

Yes
4) Can I use .sty, .prs, or other arranger keyboard (yamaha and korg) style files with BIAB?
No but this has been asked for also, you can use JJazzLab to open Biab chords and load any keyboard sty.

EDIT: you do have a 30 day money back if you are not happy

1) Do they really have a demo for vstPlugin version to give it a try with FL and see how it works?

2) Ok

3) Ok

4) Does it mean that style files from Yamaha and Korg arrangers work in BIAB ?

This thread goes into some detail on the topic, but some people with many years experience with BiaB and even marketing arrangements. They state the file formats are not compatible. One option is to convert a style file to MIDI and feed it to the StyleMaker as you would any other MIDI file. But that won't necessarily give you something as useful as the style file on the arranger.

.sty files for yamaha keyboards or korg keyboards are not the same as .sty files in BIAB, but as noted above there are a few ways to get these into BIAB.


My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.

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."
