In fact, you can change many elements part-way through a song, such as bpm, etc. Or you can change the style part way through the song (under ‘select style’ you can ask “show similar styles” so that something close to the original style can be selected).

You can have a composition developed in full or in part and change the style in general (and rehearse those styles with your chosen chords). This feature helps you to discover the right chord (you can hear in your head), or perhaps select a more interesting or unusual chord. Further to that point, there is the Chord Builder – select the root (A, C#, etc.) and then as you click on the various chord types, they ring out. Now, the thing you can do with all this information/style, etc., is to type in what chords you want, but if you keep using the same chords, do not know what chords to choose, etc., then you can select the ‘demo’ that comes with a style and it will apply all the chords (from that demo) for you then you can work with those chords, make changes, etc., for a new composition or for freestyle jamming. Still, and if I want to get myself out of a rut, I will select a style that I typically do not play or compose it, whether it’s fast punk or new age. If something comes of it, then I’ll develop the composition from there. Other times I haven’t a clue what key, bpm or style I want, and will select a random drum pattern and jam to it. For instance, you may like a MIDI style, but can then change the guitar part to a ‘Real’ voicing or, you can take a Real instrument and alter its application (e.g., strumming guitar versus a crunchy rhythm). (NOTE: You can select a style that may be 140 bpm and change it to 100 bpm, which can still sound appropriate, but some styles do not sound as lively or robust when altering the bpm too significantly.) You can choose from MIDI or Real Styles, the latter of which I prefer since it sounds far more authentic, but you can change any instruments (and their tracks accordingly). This can be narrowed down if you know the feel (e.g., 4/4 versus even 16ths) and bpm – once you filter in your needs, then the choices reduce significantly, to dozens. I may choose country (since that genre covers a lot more ground since the days of Johnny Cash), certain areas of jazz or pop, which brings in the choices to several hundred styles. For instance, if I want to develop an easy rock song, I won’t dabble into the metal selections, nor bossa nova, for instance. Generally, presuming I have a riff, melody or song idea, I will choose a ‘style’ in BIAB, based on my needs. To summarize the demo, there are a number of steps that I take when working with BIAB, and to get my creative juices flowing (I’ll get to the 2021 updates shortly). The demo below goes over the various ways in which I use the program, as a jammer and music composer. BIAB has crossed leaps and bounds ever since, with higher quality audio output, the annual creation of new styles (e.g., sub-genres of blues, metal, country, jazz, etc.) and, as important, the inclusion of RealTracks (e.g., rather than a MIDI piano, imagine an actual sampled grand piano). BIAB fits that niche perfectly, which is why it’s so popular among home musicians, but also music developers.

Even back then I found BIAB sufficient to maintain my playing interests, since I had no aspirations of playing in a band, doing gigs, etc., but wanted a band in which to compose and jam.

Band-in-a-Box (BIAB) has been around for about three decades, beginning with a basic Windows DOS platform (remember those days?) and working with MIDI instruments and signals.
