This Google project “Magenta” has what I’m looking for at the moment: a suite of AI applications I can download and run on my iMac to process and generate MIDI files. You get the applications depicted:

* Generate
* Continue
* Interpolate
* Groove
* Drumify

which can pipeline together like:

1) Run “Generate” to create a couple of short melodic variations as MIDI files
2) Feed these files individually into “Continue” to expand them
3) Feed these expanded variations into “Interpolate” to combine them

I have so far only succeeded in creating some awful noise, but it was MIDI material produced by this software and rendered appropriately by Logic so I’m where I want to be and ready for some experimenting! I think the most promising route to listenable music will be using Continue on an existing melody, then Interpolate on multiple continuations. In the end, if this works out, I can feed a created MIDI into BIAB for chord recognition and have it add a band.

I actually found it a jaunty little air, when played on Logic’s medieval recorder.

In fairness to Magenta, I understand now that these little apps aren’t meant to be useful, they’re just demos of a web API for which real applications need to be written. I imagine The Jaunty Air could sound much more interesting if Magenta would share the melodically implied chord progression, which I believe is there and which I suspect it can, but you have to ask the right way.

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.

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."
