I noticed that there's an option in the Style Picker window to view only styles that are not available. I selected this out of interest and noticed that I'm missing 2,200 styles (1,002 Real and the rest MIDI or MIDI+Real)!
My install log doesn't say anything was missing from the installation and I have bought the UltraPAK which I thought included all the styles. Are there tracks which are not included in the UltraPAK?
If I should have them all, does anyone know what might be going on (& have any suggestions if so)?
Did you purchase any of the five Xtra Style PAKs released to date? Each Xtra Style PAK includes about 550 - 600 styles and is an additional purchase to the Ultra, formerly UltraPlus package. +++ HERE +++ is a webpage with more information about the Xtra Style PAKs.
Yes that sounds about right very similar to the number I had before purchasing the special offer 4 paks of extra styles last year. Now "All extra styles paks 1-5 (all Xtra Styles ever released)." as they have added another this year. see link https://www.pgmusic.com/xtrastyles.php?os=win Mike
Sorry to dredge this up again! However, I just noticed that in my style chooser screen, it says under (for example) "Jazz Swing [UltraPak = 778] [Found = 567]"
It says similar things for all the other styles and it looks like I don't have all the styles I should have for the UltraPak?
Or does the "UltraPak" figure in this case include all the bonus and extra ones you guys were talking about above?
Right, that number sounds about right, as the "UltraPAK" total does include the Xtra Styles.
It's very easy for you to check though, click on the Other button near the Filter String box, go to "Styles that are Found/Not Found", and choose "Show Only N/A (not found) Styles".
Then just see if there are any that aren't marked "Xtra PAK" in the Set column.

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.

Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
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."
