BBM.LST (Mac) File for Band-in-a-Box 12 OS X

This file contains the style descriptions for all styles from PG Music up to Styles Set 68. Extract the archive to your Band-in-a-Box folder. You may want to back up your previous BBM.LST, especially if you have edited/added entries to it.

This file contains the descriptions for styles from PG Music up to Styles Set 40. Extract the archive to your Band-in-a-Box folder. Make certain you back up your previous version, especially if you have edited/added entries to bbw.lst. Note that Styles Sets beyond #40 will not show up in the StylePicker window on OS 9 versions of Band-in-a-Box, although they can still be used.

Click-Track Style Download

This style is great for users who want to record melodies without accompaniment. It has only a rim shot on each beat with beat one accented, and no guitar, bass, strings, or piano.

Alternatively, download it as a MIDI file, which can be imported into the Melody or Solo tracks of Band-in-a-Box, or into other MIDI sequencers.
