I'm now aware of any tutorial for 12 key UserTrack.
I'm also not sure how refined UserTrack commands are to direct the UT to play the correct phrasing of keys that would be duplicated in multiple Key Signatures. I'm guessing there would be a high probability of a lot of sour notes for the user to correct in a project that used a 12-key UserTrack.
If I were attempting this I would use a long template that didn't exceed the BIAB limit of 255 bars which would restrict each of the 12 keys to roughly 12 bars per template. Although a UserTrack can have multiple templates in a UserTrack folder, I think there would be an issue with the currently available UserTrack commands in the UserTrack Development Settings dialog because of the duplicate bar numbers between the multiple templates.
It seems to me there would need to be a command to point the UserTrack to the correct bars of any specific key signature and looking at the current commands available for UserTracks, commands are directed using bar number ranges.
That's disappointing if users can't make them. I understand the complexity, but the fact that they exist says we should be able to do them. I'm not even thinking for soloist tracks: I primarily want rhythm tracks that are not affected with the modulation artifacts.
Just put the 12 keys in sub folders of the main instrument usertrack folder and you will be given a key choice in the usertrack picker as to what key you want. Main folder: Accordion, Rhythm Crossover Sw16 075
Sub folder: Accordion, Rhythm Crossover Sw16 075 key A Accordion, Rhythm Crossover Sw16 075 key A 01.sgu Accordion, Rhythm Crossover Sw16 075 key A 01.wav Accordion, Rhythm Crossover Sw16 075 key A 02.sgu Accordion, Rhythm Crossover Sw16 075 key A 02.wav
You will still get overtransposing as this has never been fixed, it may help if you make a few wav sgu for each key to give more variety to choose from. If you want soloist do the same but set them as a Drums=True in the Options.txt file. These won't overtranspose as they are set to drums. There are 12 key soloist usertracks in this forum to download.
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."
