Type In Chords and Band-in-a-Box Does the Rest

Band-in-a-Box is so easy to use! Just type in the chords for any song using standard chord symbols (like C, Fm7, or C13b9), choose the style you'd like, and Band-in-a-Box does the rest. Band-in-a-Box automatically generates a complete professional-quality arrangement of piano, bass, drums, guitar, and strings or horns.

New for 2013: Performance Tracks

PG Music has also added Performance Tracks: Artist's Performances on the Melody track, to showcase the Band-in-a-Box RealTracks demos playing along to an artist performing the melody. These are great for listening or for learning-from-the-Pros (since notation/tab shows for the performances).

What are MIDI SuperTracks? Instead of MIDI styles based on C7 chord patterns that get repeated over every chord, the MIDI SuperTracks are based on actual playing by studio musicians. When you play the SuperTracks with your favorite MIDI synth or VST plug-ins, you'll hear great sounds using MIDI. These new MIDI SuperTracks are an excellent option for those looking for the editing and control capabilities of regular MIDI tracks, but with the added bonus of incredibly good MIDI sounds! Band-in-a-Box Pro 2013 includes the following sets:
- MIDI SuperTracks Set 1: Pop Piano and More!
- MIDI SuperTracks Set 2: All Jazz
- MIDI SuperTracks Set 3: Sweet Country Piano zZounds is an authorized dealer of PG Music products.
