I start with an all RT style -- I decide that I want to have a custom midi patch for bass. I go to "select custom midi style for this track" and then I click on "choose style with this patch" and select the midi acoustic bass part I want. The mixer shows that I've chosen something from the style that contains the midi part I want , but it also says "0 no patch change. It won't generate midi and track remains green. It doesn't turn yellow like a midi track will. Never had this happen before.
I'm getting increasingly frustrated with new versions of BIAB breaking long-standing, stable features. I've been using BIAB since 1992 on Atari.
I'm fairly sure that I can repeat your findings. Even after generating again, the tracks shows as a RealTrack (green) and doesn't actually play anything. Lots of issues with the mixer are still getting resolved. I'll report this to the developers.

Wish I had a buck for every time this question comes up over the years. Generally after a ton of effort we confirm it can be done, but why does it have to such a big deal?
Sorry, but that is all I got for you on this item.
Yes, it's never straightforward for me, even on the few occasions when I get it to actually work
When I do get the result I expected I find it's actually a reason to celebrate. Yes!
Biab is as for long as i remember always behaving like when you're negotiating with a political party; you tell it to do something, even a simple thing, but don't expect any straightforwardness.

Ah but the Deep Joy when you get through to it - and it works!!

I really can share your joy, of getting assumed basic functions to work as expected. In fact it is an utter source of frustration and drain of musical energy.
When I fought a long fight with BIAB to get the thing to work, most time I am worn out by then.
I am also a decades long user ob Biab always keeping the hope this piece of software with it´s magic promise to do all the things in the functional specs, starts to simply do it´s purpose....
Sorry, to be triggerd by this thread......
All the best!

I'm going to keep working with the developers so that they will be able to understand and hopefully resolve the issues that you are identifying. I don't think these are isolated cases. Resolving such potential issues will be a positive outcome for the program and its users.

The problem of not being able to put a custom midi style on a track with an existing RealTrack has been fixed by build 822. Much thanks to the development team. John

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.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
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."
