+++ Current Why No MIDI Integration Thread +++MIDI control surface integration would be helpful to Band-in-a-Box users in so many ways, transport control and real time volume, pan and tone control of each track two of the most important. Most MIDI control surfaces have multiple communication modes with Mackie Control Protocol the most prevalent. Many MIDI control surfaces have an auto-learn feature where each control learns the program control in use or in focus.

I have suggested this for about two decades. For it to have value beyond just a remote transport control, I believe it must support volume automation. This should now be possible given the recent development in BIAB 2022.

I would love to have Band in a Box supporting a Control Surface (e.g. Mackie Control.
I can do a few things here with my nectar Panorama, but the functions are very limited (mainly transport control) and adding not much comfort. No big deal in the past, just a bit annoying that nothing more was possible.
But now, with 24 tracks available, the software needs a proper way to work with!
Many of the Users complement Band in a Box with a DAW and a great number of those have a Control Surface for the DAW. I am sure they too will miss the comfort of using it with Band in a Box any time they start the software.
What was valid wish 2 decades ago (see above) has become a necessity in 2022.

I posted over in Jim's link in his post that's preferable for discussion and not derail the wish itself.
I like this idea but I'm not to plus 1 support yet.

If it helps, I just added further explanation in that other thread of why I would very much like to see this feature.

After viewing Matt's post on the other thread I had a change of heart. For those who do a lot of work in BiaB I can see where this can be advantageous so

GREAT option for those with mobility and other issues too...mackie should allow alternate control surfaces as suit the user.

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."
