117. How can I insert a patch change in a specific chorus or change to a non-General MIDI patch at any bar?
The Edit Settings for Current Bar dialog allows you to change patches at any bar in your song, and there is a pull-down menu at the top of the dialog to specify which choruses you want the change to apply to. If you want to insert a non-GM patch (i.e. a patch on higher bank), first click the "Show Higher Bank Patches" checkbox. Then, either type in the bank numbers (e.g. if you type in 1.97.2, this would be program # 1, BankMSB 97, BankLSB 2), or choose a patch from a patch map for your synth.
The other option is to use the Event List window to specify the 'higher bank' patch change at a particular bar (only necessary with older versions of Band-in-a-Box®). Here are the basic steps for using the event list to insert a patch change for any track:
If the track that you want to insert the patch change on is the Melody or Soloist track:
- Open the Notation Window, viewing the track of interest (Soloist or Melody) and position yourself where you want to make the patch change.
- Open the Event List Editor by clicking the [#] button and fine-tune your position in the event list if necessary.
- If your patch is a General MIDI patch, skip to step 5. If you want to choose a patch on a higher bank, click on [Insert] and select Control Change. Choose Controller 0 (MSB Bank Select) type the MSB Bank number for your patch, and press OK.
- If your synth uses Controller 32 (Bank select LSB) click on [Insert] and select Control Change. Choose Controller 32, type the LSB Bank number, and press OK.
- Click on [Insert] and select Patch Change. Choose the patch or Program # you want and press OK.
If the track that you want to insert the patch change on is not the Melody or Soloist track:
You also use the Melody or Soloist track event list to insert the patch changes as described above, but note the following:
-
You need to change that track to a multi-channel type track to prevent all events from being re-channeled to the Melody or Soloist channel. To do this, go to Melody or Soloist | Track type, and select multi-channel.
-
When you insert the Control and Program (patch) Changes, you need to specify the correct channel for each event you insert. You can find out what channel each of the Band-in-a-Box® tracks use by going to Opt. | Preferences | Channels.

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.

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."
