Whenever I click on BPM's presets, I get a message?

Whenever I click on BPM's presets, I get the message, "Beat Box Anthology soundbank is required but currently missing or no valid authorization could be found. Please check your setup." I'm pretty sure I authorized Beat Box Anthology on their website. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks.

While you may have registered the bank with UltimateSoundBank, you still have to download the iLok authorization from the iLok account you should've set up before hand and would've pointed the registration tool to. You may also still need to be sure you either have the ufs bank file or a shortcut/alias in the same directory that BPM is installed in or that you have placed either of these in the UVISoundBanks directory (in your program directory.)

I had this same message because I had the Beat Box Anthology UFS in the BPM directory. It has to go in the UVI soundbanks directory instead.

I have a iLok account and I see all my Licenses for other plugins except the UltimateSoundBank. How do I download that authorization for it? Thanks.

You have to go to http://www.ultimatesoundbank.com/ and register there. Then you enter the serial that came with BPM 1.5 for beatbox anthology. It was on a little green card. They will then transfer the asset to ilok.com where you can download it.

I did that. It didn't take. I guess I'll try it again. Thanks.

if you are getting the could not be found then it is a directory issue. an easy way to solve this is to download the free uvi workstation/player app from their website. install that and then find the uvisoundbank folder and dump your beatbox anthology in there.

fire up bpm and if you load a pattern/kit from the new library if it loads fine then you are ok, if it loads then asks for the auth or says you are not auth'd then you have to get your ilok auth sorted.

if you goto ilok.com you will see in your list of auth's if the beatbox anthology is there in your ilok already. if it is its installed and its just the file location, if its not there then you will need the BBA auth.

hope that helps.

Thanks everyone for the help. SSP, that was it. When I went into my iLok account, it appeared at the top saying add new license. I'm good now.

Hey all,

I installed the update with the discs provided and followed all directions. Sorted my ilok easily- was not an issue. I get the message. I do not have the UVIsoundbank folder in my program files. Checked the version of BPM and it is 1.5 no doubt about it. I think at some point, the directory was not created. This is odd. I am now waiting for the UVI workstation to finish installing. it seems to be hanging now on "installing Pace support". Pretty frustrating. Wonder if I should do a repair install with the update disc?

Thanks for your input.

The needed folder is not created when installing BPM. You have to install UVI workstation. Make sure to delete the Beatbox Anthology UFS from the BPM folder if you made the mistake of copying it there.

donot delete the bba file, just move it from the bpm folder to the uvi one, that way you dont have to install it in again.

open the bpm folder where your bba file is, then open another window with the uvi soundbanks folder, drag it into there and thats it.

You can actually put that .ufs file anywhere you want, as long as you make an alias. This also applies to the other libraries that ship with BPM

For the UVI ufs:
- Put your .ufs file on whatever disk suits your needs
- Create an alias
- Delete the word 'alias' in the resulting alias' file name, so that its name is exactly the same as the original file
- Paste the alias into /Library/Application Support/UVISoundBanks
