This can be used to find the RealDrum you need with Tap 2 Find or a midi reference clip, or you can create up the drum track direct in Toontrack by splitting up the RealDrum MIDI and moving sections around.

This is for AutoHotkey v1 you can convert it to AHK v2
If you are running Biab As Administrator:
To run script only .ahk install https://www.autohotkey.com/ and set AutoHotKey.exe to Run As Administrator

From
58-78Pop^
To
2416Fusion
had the Audio track Soloed, so you can us solo and save all the MGU's in those folder first,
these are some others I found,
JazzBrushesWaltz
Jazz54Even8^
UrbanPop128Shopping^
UrbanPopEv16BrokenWires
UrbanPopEv16SlowHard^
UrbanPopEv16Climbing^
UrbanPopEv16Drama^
TechnoSlimcut^
Jazz54Swing^
TechnoWildnout^

(I've got more to go through, but I got tired of it all)

when they are all done you search for .MID in the Drums folder then change the View to Details and list by size, you will see drums around 1k or 2k you can drop in you DAW and check if they are empty clips if so open those MGU's and check if they have the Audio track soloed if so open all the MGU's in that folder and un solo the Audio tracks then save.
Then File > Save Special > Save Song As MIDI File > Batch Mode > OK
this will overwrite the empty ones.
You can do them ALL manually this way but it would take sooo long !

When all done search for .MID then select all and copy to a new folder.

In the new folder use https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/
to remove ^ from the filename, in the "Replace" put ^ and leave the "With" empty.
In the "Numbering" set it to "Prefix" "Pad" 4 this will keep them in alphabetical order in EZDrummer and won't show line number.
Then you can add them to the User Library or as a Toontrack 3rd party
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Toontrack\EZDrummer\Midi
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Toontrack\EZDrummer\Midi
they could also be in C:\ProgramData\Toontrack\ ?
if you just have Superior Drummer 3 look for Superior3 in path.
You can make folders Toontrack\EZDrummer\Midi\000001@REALDRUMS\010@REAL_DRUMS_MIDI
and put all the PG midi in 010@REAL_DRUMS_MIDI
then start EZDrummer or Superior Drummer 3

If you want to just use the RealDrums MIDI in EZD or SD3 you can as it's so EZ to edit the drum track however you like by cutting the main drum files up and drag around sections, changing all levels easily, adding solo riffs, 4 bar endings, 6 bar endings...

I don't know if you need this, it will convert Gm to EZDrummer

Copy the text below to notepad and save as Midi Batch RealDrums.ahk
Set to your Drums folder dir:= "X:\bb\Drums"
Run the script it will take some time to go through all the RealDrum folders.
Don't do anything else and leave it run.
It worked for me without issue, so just see how you go.
If you want to exit the script look in the System Tray for "H" and exit it or Task Manager AutoHotkey.exe

#NoEnv
#SingleInstance Force

dir:= "C:\bb\Drums"

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."
