When importing midifiles in BIAB 2018, all instruments are playing on the mixer melody track
Is there a way to see each instrument appearing on their specific different track, just as you see them in the mixer when playing a regular BIAB song?
Thanks
J-Louis

I don't think so. You'll have to open the midi file in RealBand in order to have separate tracks for each midi instrument. You can also open your BIAB song in RealBand at the same time.


Does the noise in your head bother me ?

It depends on how the MIDI file was made, whether it is type 1 or type 0. In older versions of BIAB, you could click on the green SEQ(uencer) button to break out type 1 files into separate tracks. When I get to a PC I’ll look for the way to do it now. Might still be the same.

Found it! We need to use "Import Chords from MIDIfile" and all instruments appear with volume, pan, reverb, etc.. in the mixer

Sounds very useful J-Louis. I'll have a look at that at some point.

That's not it. Import Chords from midi file allows you to use those chords with a Biab style without you having to enter them yourself. The instruments you see are from the Style, not from the midi file. A midi file has nothing to do with a Style. If you hit Play, you'll hear both the midi file AND the style which will probably sound like crap.

The primary reason to load a midi into Biab is to have it extract the chords. The second reason is there may be one specific part of the midi like a bass line that you want to use instead of the Biab generated style bass line. You could then mute the Biab bass and mute the rest of the midi file let the midi file play the bass only while Biab plays the other style instruments.
