December 13, 2013 Band-in-a-Box Version 2014 Build 379 Update now Available

This patch will update Band-in-a-Box 2014 to Build 379 from any previous 2014 build. Download the patch here.

Added:

• Full screen (no GUI) mode. Press Ctrl T, and the top toolbar disappears. This makes the chord screen (and notation window, audio edit, piano roll) full screen. This is most useful for people with lo-res displays, where the toolbars are taking up too much of the screen, or those who want a clean look. If you set this, most options need to be done via menus, or pressing Ctrl-T again to toggle back the full display.


• Fine tuning the mixer sliders. Changing mixer #s by left click drag. You can now left click and drag the #s beside the mixer sliders, and this will allow fine tuning the values. Right click to type in the value.


• Additional shots and holds files for new RealTracks are added. (Note: Holds193 does not exist).


• Documentation - Setting for RealDrums Reverb. This feature was not previously documented. In RealDrums, Prefs there is a setting for Amount of Reverb to RealDrums. Normally no reverb is added to Drums. But if you want some added, you can set it here.


• Documentation - Volume adjustment for Real Drum Pushes. This feature was not previously documented. RealDrums - Preferences: Adjust Push Velocity. This makes a dB adjustment to RealDrums drum pushes (there was already one for shots, just not pushes).


• Strings externalized including graphics.

Fixed:
• Spacebar key in RealTracks Picker and StylePicker dialog wasn't working correctly in the Filter edit control (was triggering a Preview).
• Freeze-up sometimes could occur when mixer window was open and audio track was displayed.
• Some RealTracks Picker memos were not displaying.
• RealDrums Picker - some new drums styles had missing information.
• Miscellaneous minor fixes to demo songs included with RealTracks sets 188-205, such as typos and missing song titles.
• Flash Messages (yellow information messages) now bottom right, instead of top right, so they don't partially cover the mixer.
