PG Music has released a beta version of Band-in-a-Box 2006 (build 202).
Changes:
- Fixed: The 'Notation | 'Notation/Edit/note-roll mode' menu item did not work, nor did CTRL-ALT-N.
- Fixed: The chord C#m played incorrectly in Ukulele styles.
- Fixed: All 5,624 existing chord definitions for Guitar, Ukulele, Banjo, and Mandolin have been checked for accuracy and fixed where necessary.
- Fixed: Aug chord problem. BIAB occasionally played a major chord instead of Augmented - typically happened after a series of aug chords had been played.
- Fixed: There was a glitch between loops when you were using a DXi synth with the Conductor Window.
- Fixed: Classical Soloists #159 through 162 were incorrectly assigned to a Jazz Swing database. They are now assigned to Class_16.ST2.
- Fixed: Soloist #18 was the same as #14. Soloist #18 has been re-defined as a 'Tenor Sax - Slow Ballads' Soloist.
- Added: Four new Soloists have been defined in Default.SOL: #321 Yardbird - Slow-Med (Alto Sax ala CharlieP), #322 Bari Sax Slow Bop (Baritone Sax Slow Bop Swind 16ths solo style), #323 Blues - Jimmy & Wes (Blues - Jimmy & Wes (Organ & Guitar alternating) Med-Sw.), and #324 Milt - Ballad Vibes (Slow Sw.16ths). The newest Default.SOL is included in the update.
- Fixed: If you used the Conductor Window while playing the Jukebox, playback stopped after the current song.
- Fixed: 'File | Open Audio' didn't always work for CDA files.
- Fixed: 'Audio | Import Audio' didn't work for CDA files unless you had saved the currently open BB song on your local hard disk.
- Fixed: Conductor Window hotkey [~] conflicted with [`] hotkey for entering rests in the notation window, and with regular apostrophe key on European keyboards. Conductor hotkey has been changed to [CTRL + ~].
- Fixed: Opt. | Preferences | MIDI Options - when 'Style Patch Changes' was disabled, some style patch changes were still sent.
- Fixed: When 'include patch changes in MIDI files' was disabled in the MIDI File Options dialog, some patch changes were still included in the MIDI file.
- Fixed: In the Harmony Maker dialog, if you specified any negative value for the Velocity Boost of "Low Root", it set the velocities of those notes all to 127 instead of decreasing the velocities by the amount you specified.
- Fixed: The fly-by help hint for the SAVE AS button in the Soloist Editor dialog had an error. The [SAVE AS] button saves as a *.sol file, not *.s1.
- Fixed: 'Open Previous Song' and 'Open Previous Style' didn't work if "OK to auto-add recent files" was unchecked in the Favorite Songs dialog.
- Fixed: 'TEMPMAIN.WAV not found' error and audio track erased after importing wav file and generating harmonies without pressing save.
- Fixed: 'Expecting to write xxx bytes, instead wrote xxx bytes' error when pasting audio harmonies into multiple sections of a song.
- Fixed: Problems with Audio Harmonies, Cut/Paste, and non-realtime Audio Plugins (including 'Could not open file' and 'division by zero' errors) after Opening or Importing a .WAV file.
- Fixed: Crash when printing if there were slurs in a number of consecutive bars.
- Fixed: Crash in the StyleMaker drum grid editor when using ASIO drivers and a DXi synth.
- Fixed: Recording a style pattern (StyleMaker) sometimes did not work properly in the case of Dxi being used with MME audio drivers.
- Fixed: If you had the 'pause play until MIDI or key received' feature enabled while using a DXi synth, the song started playing when you hit a key, but there was no sound. This also happened for the first song in the Jukebox.
- Fixed: If a sound card's sample rate is changed while BIAB is open and using ASIO drivers, the message box stating "sample rate has changed" only appears once rather than each time a song is played.
- Fixed: Possible 'inetwh32.dll missing' error when opening help file.
- Updated: The most recently updated BBW.LST (Style list file) is included in this patch.
- Updated: The most recent help file is included.
