I already have SynthMaster Player installed on my system and have added some of their additional paks (presets).
Will the BIAB version play nice with that?
Is there an option to install or not?
Is there any reason NOT to install the BIAB version if you already have it???

Hi FJ.
If you have their latest, you don't have to use the one included with PG release.
Now, that we have Midi Chord track, any version of their synths should work with BIAB.
Steps to set it up:
Go to Options>preferences>OutputChords
There is a checkmark (should be checked): Write chords to track number: Select unused Utility track here.
Close out of the menu.
When you regenerate, everything will update on the mixer, and you will see yellow "Chords" name on the mixer track your chose. Go to the plugin section in the mixer, choose SynthMaster from the list for that "Chords" track.
Done.
It will feed block chords to the SynthMaster (and they should also update when you change things on chord sheet)
Now you can use SynthMaster GUI to pick Pads or Arpeggios or anything else. It should all be in sync to main arrangement and obey transport buttons.
I hope this helps.
M.

Just to add to Misha's instruction. This new midi chord chart track currently does not create the block chords in root position. Instead chords are inversions of no clear justification. I am lobbying to make a change this to root positions for all chords. More predictable primarily. So if you have some preference speak now or forever hold you peace.

I am lobbying to make a change this to root positions for all chords. More predictable primarily. So if you have some preference speak now or forever hold you peace. I have been using the MIDI block chords for years and they have never stayed in the root position. This caused Studio One Pro to yield wrong chords in the chord track as it uses the lowest note in the chord as the root note, thus inversions messes up the chord naming. If you put this in the wish forum you will get a +1 from me. Note yes I know about the chord position setting of root by it doesn't apply to the MIDI block chord track.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

This new midi chord chart track currently does not create the block chords in root position. Instead chords are inversions of no clear justification. In this 2023 new Chord Track feature, the default note range is set from 60 to 72, and block chords have to be inverted to fit in. If you set it from 60 to 84, there should be enough octave space for no inversions to occur, so root notes stay at bottom. Let me know if it works for you.

Yes that solved the blocked chord in the root position. Now I have to figure out how to get Studio One Pro 6 to read all of the chords correctly!

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."
