I am trying to import chords from Chordify into BIAB. The seem accurate in Choridify and Cubae and Realband are interpreting them correctly. They are basic whole and half not chords so nothing fancy. When I import the file into BIAB it come in as D when the file is actually G. Any idea what setting might be off or what I am doing that could cause that kind of problem? Using BIAB 2021.
Hi Terry, could you upload the MIDI file you're trying to import to the forums so we can take a look at it? You can do that by clicking "Switch to Full Reply Screen" and using the File Manager link below the text box to upload the file.
Can you also provide what specific menu options you are selecting when you bring in the file? And are you trying to import from an XML file, MIDI file, or another file type hat is capable of storing MIDI information? Feel free to upload your files using the method Simon mentioned and we'll have someone look into it for you. Providing us with as much details about menus/buttons accessed is always very helpful. If you can also include what build you are on by checking the 3 digit number under Help | About Band-in-a-Box that would be very much appreciated. It's typically found next to the version year. Or, if you've since resolved the issue, let us know!

Here is the Midi file and the import settings. I noticed that it is reading the file in E versus what I believe to be in D. Thanks for being willing to take a look at this. Sorry it took me a little while to respond.
I am obviously too tired tonight as I posted the midi file created out of BIAB and not the original midi. Sheesh..... Hopefully this is the right file this time.
They are already working on builds beyond that. 840 had a problem with muting on rendering that affected some users.
About being up-to-date, when you use the program to check, we have been told it sometimes does not report the latest public release. New releases are considered 'beta' releases for a bit. The only way to ensure you have the latest public release is to go to the Support tab above.
BIAB 2024 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 6.5 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6; Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Roland Integra-7, Presonus Studio 192, Presonus Faderport 8, Royer 121, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors
New releases are considered 'beta' releases for a bit.
It's not that we consider the update Beta, we're just creating a staggered rollout for updates, so that if there is a major problem not everyone is affected. Major problems only happen extremely rarely, but this is common practice in the software industry, and is how Microsoft releases their updates to Windows.
Add updated printing options, enhanced tracks settings, smoother use of MGU and SGU (BB files) within PowerTracks, and more with the latest PowerTracks Pro Audio 2024 update!
Download and install this to your RealBand 2024 for updated print options, streamlined loading and saving of .SGU & MGU (BB) files, and to add a number of program adjustments that address user-reported bugs and concerns.
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.
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."
