OK. This thread was supposed to be a fun read of Misha saying "Open Sesame" to the MIDI treasures hidden in BiaB. But now it's getting a bit technical here.

Can someone please help me understand what Peter Gannon was saying in his last post? There's some quite juicy stuff going on there I'm still trying to grasp.

Quote:
There isn’t a single MIDI loop that would represent the guitar track generated by Freddie.sty. The patterns aren’t just mapped to chord tones - there are methods that play differently over different chords, different parts of the form etc.

In BiaB, there are two methods of inserting yellow MIDI to a track. One way is to insert MIDI super track, then in the dialog box select a yellow MIDI, not a blue MIDI. The other way is the method of discussed in this thread, select custom MIDI style, then select a stem from that style.

So, did Peter mean, each method mentioned above is accessing to different yellow MIDI database? For yellow MIDI, BiaB has two different database collections?

Did Peter also mean, some yellow MIDI doesn't change based on chords?

And maybe a way to generate part of a track as a one time action.

Did Peter mean, currently in BiaB, you can not partial regen a yellow/blue MIDI track?

If you like the MIDI track but want to regen only a few bars and keep the rest, you can't do that?
