BiaB 2020 64-bit running in W10

How can I get a Real Tracks instrument to play the notes in the score I wrote?

When I select real tracks, all I get is improvisation over the chords, when what I want is a specific melody, actually a jazz head, in this case.

The midi selections play the score correctly.

You can't

That is exactly what Real tracks do. Only midi selections play the midi notes. I assume you are new to the forum. So welcome.

Further, when you play the song, RealTracks regenerate. Any editing you may have done on them will be replaced. The tracks you CAN use are Melody and Soloist. Those are MIDI and can be saved with the song.

As indicated, RealTracks are audio-phrases that have been pre-recorded. Some of them have been transcribed into notation for readability purposes, but changing these notes doesn't change the original audio passages that they were transcribed from.

MIDI tracks could be used to do what you require, but freeze changes first before generating, otherwise they will be overwritten.

Thank you Matt Finley for your response.

Is there a place where users can make suggestions for future enhancements?

In my estimation, this would be a very good one to have.

Oh, yes. There is a Wishlist Forum, below. Over the decades, many suggestions I and others have made were implemented.

What you are talking about is MIDI. Get some good sound sources like Kontakt, Sample Tank, etc, learn some MIDI controls and your problem is solved.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
