Hi I was totally amazed when I saw Band In A box on Ebay for the Humble Arari st which I quickly bought ,and here was the caption,

(http://media.soundonsound.com/sos/jul00/images/biabmain.s.gif) (http://media.soundonsound.com/sos/jul00/images/biabmain.l.gif)Style-generation software Band-In-A-Box is one of many still-thriving music programs that started life on the Atari. These days, it's very much at home in the latest Mac- and PC-based studios, as Vic Lennard and Martin Walker discover.

Way back in August 1991, I concluded that the original Atari ST version of the Band-In-A-Box auto-accompaniment program was "cheaper than almost any ST sequencer but with facilities belying the price" in a review appearing in the now-defunct ST Format. It offered three-part accompaniment, the facility to enter lyrics, a print-out capability and MIDI File compatibility, along with incredible ease of use.
 
 I already know how good BB is because I have used it with the pc but is there one that will work with the Amiga ? very  best wishes Brian .
 And as for the Atari up to now it works a treat having used Cubase Lite on it ,Brian.

Interesting, I didn't know Band in a Box had that long a history. There's no Amiga version, but we do have Bars and Pipes, which is a truly amazing program.

EDIT: And SuperJam!, which is probably a more similar product to BIAB.
