Total noob here. I wrote a country tune that has fiddle parts in it. I was able to export the part as a MIDI track from Musescore and import it into BIAB. Can I assign a "real" violin to the MIDI track? That's all I want. No other instruments, no nothin'. Any guidance or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Hello buduranus2,

Welcome to Band-in-a-Box and to the forum.

If you save a RealTracks fiddle to the track that contains the MIDI data you imported from Musescore, the MIDI data will be over written by the RealTracks fiddle MIDI transcription.

I believe you want to assign a violin or fiddle MIDI patch (instrument) to play the imported MIDI score, is that correct?

Also, you didn't mention which style you are using. The style plays an import role in creating your song. If you want only one instrument playing I would start the song with a BLANK style.

There are four BLANK styles. Open the StlePicker. Type the word "blank" into the StylePicker filter string textbox and press refresh to list all the blank styles.

Two use the 4/4 time signature while the other two use the 3/4 time signature. Each of the time signature styles are further divided into even or swing feel. Blank styles have no instrument assignments. Select whichever style has the time signature and feel that matches your song.

That's as far as I can go until you let us know if you want a MIDI patch (instrument) to playback your MIDI score or if you want a RealTracks violin or fiddle to playback whatever chords you enter into the chord sheet.

No. RT's are audio recordings and do not play midi!

The only way to get a real violin on a MIDI track is to print the MIDI as sheet music and record a real violinist playing it.

You can often get fairly realistic results if you get a good violin sound library. Many plugins of that ilk will work in BIAB on a MIDI track.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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.
