Simple request - please extend MultiRiffs to drum tracks! It's by far the most useful addition to BiaB in the years I've been using it, but it's a little frustrating not to have the same control over the drum tracks.
Sorry if this has been requested already (I'd be surprised if it hasn't), but couldn't find anything on a search.
Before I upgrade to 2023, can anyone confirm whether this feature has been added? Couldn't see it in the summary of new features, but hoping it's been snuck in...
It's not working in the floating Alt+F8 window, not sure if they will be adding that soon in a fix or it will be next year ? There is an F5 control to put a fill where you like or take one out.

Thanks for that - helpful response! But very disappointed that it's not been included in the new version.
It would be good to at least have a response from PG Music about this, because at the moment I can't see any reason why RealTracks can be partially regenerated but not RealDrums? Are they particularly different? They seem to be the same thing in essence.

I suspect this is due to the way the program has evolved over time, realdrums were introduced before realtracks and both features were developed independently.
But yes, I agree with the fact that, as much as possible, both should behave the same manner and share the same pickers and options. The fact that there are so many different track types (each one using different pickers, filters, options and features not because a design decision but because the way they have been introduced over time) is, IMO, one of the main reasons why people consider BIAB a difficult and counter-intuitive program.
So yes, +1 here (and yes, this has been asked before)
I hope the Drum Riffs and UserTrack riffs are put in before next year. If not here a few options:
In Realband you have more control but it takes so much longer, if it was made to work like Reaper it would be INSTANT. Zoom++
Having the sfz sample sets now for RealDrums this should work well: RealDrum Solos, Rolls If you just generate up DRUMSOLJ.STY export the midi drum file and import it to a Utility track in the Biab with RealDrums, set a section where you want a solo by enabling Playable Track then copy and paste the notes in from the midi drum solo that is on the Utility track, you can solo the Util track to find the riff you like.

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.

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."

I thought I'd read somewhere that it had, but I can't seem to do it so re-requesting.
