Hi.

Back to BIAB after a break, I'm having an issue.

Some part of BIAB is sounding chord changes, even though I have muted all the Mixer tracks that show any signal.

Can anyone tell me where this might be coming from and exactly where to look to turn it off?

Thanks!

I had the identical issue a couple of times. Each time a return to factory settings eliminated the problem.

If you were showing all tracks in the mixer you might see, sounds like the midi synth.

You may have active but hidden tracks.
Click the eye-like symbol bottom right of the mixer to select which tracks to show.

Mine were in the mixer but muting the track did nothing. Yes they were MIDI tracks. How they got there is still a mystery as I didn't use/play that track. Only return to factory settings solved the problem.

{edit} - Since no one else was having that problem I thought it was just my system so I didn't report it or ask for help. Now another user is having maybe the same problem?

Thanks to all for your comments, much appreciated!

Here is some further info.

After clicking on the "eye" I see at the bottom of the Mixer track list the track 'Default Synth'. All yesterday I never saw such, now I do.

OK, so it turns out the Default Synth is playing. That's the sound I hear, and I see the meter with signal. If I drop the volume slider on the Default Synth then the sound goes away. OK, good.

However, the Mute button for the Default Synth does not work. If I click on it, it flashes, but does not light and does not mute.

If I Solo the Default Synth, all the other tracks get muted, but the Default Synth track a) is neither Muted nor Soloed visually (IOW, neither M nor S button is lit), but b) is in fact silenced.

This behavior doesn't make sense to me. Is it a bug?

All the above is observation of the "problem state".

I did the reset 'Return ALL to Factory Settings' as described above.

This did solve the audio problem of the Default Synth being stuck ON.

Ctrl-T brought back the view I'm used to.

Yay, back to normal life. smile

Thanks again!

I've had the problem, too. Definitely MIDI playing on the same track as an RT and not able to mute. I fought it for ages and it seems to be some kind of "stuck on the track" MIDI synth.

I didn't then try RTFS but I certainly shall if/when it happens again.

If you had the chord output set and an external device like MS GS Synth set.

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.
