Hello, Is there a way to get biab real tracks, piano in this case to play a chord w/extensions in a different inversion or to come down on it a little harder. I've noticesd the piano often underplays some of these chords. I'm trying to get a 7#5#9 so the #9 sounds like it's on top of the chord. I currently does not.

Hi Ron,

Realtracks do not allow control of inversions.

What you could do is to use either the Melody or Soloist tracks and add the wanted note(s) in the appropriate bar using a midi piano sound.

Alternatively, if the piano Realtrack you are using has notation, you could modify this notation (if it was loaded on the Melody or Soloist tracks) and re-direct it through a good midi piano. Midi piano is very realistic these days if you have good software.

Regards,
Noel

Hello Noel, Know what you mean about midi piano sounding good. Because even in decades gone by there was even some good stuff in my K2500R. The Young Chang Grand was pretty nice. But I haven't got my midi guitar up an running yet. Got all the stuff but having trouble with the installation of a us made floating humbucker on the same instrument. I can imagine how much sampling technology has improved. But it still all has to come down to 24 little bits!!I'Ive been away from it for about 10 years. For this kind of equipment it would be like getting out of jail after 50 years and going to a high end music store.

I will try your suggestions when I get up and running w/ the midi stuff. Do you know if a MOTU Midi timepiece AV is still compatible with current midi specs?

Thank you very much for your time.

Ron

Ron,

I can't help you with the MOTU information. If you make a post in the Off Topic forum asking about this, though, I imagine that there will be someone (or maybe more) who can help. There are some very talented audio/midi people on this site.

Regards,
Noel

The MOTU web site says yes:

I used this DL for my MOTU MIDI Express in Win 10 and it runs just find. I already had this unit working in Win 7.

I hope this helps.

Hey Mario Thanks, I appreciate you going the extra mile so to speak. I haven't lit up any of this MOTU stuff in 5 years or so. I'm still modifying one of my archtops to carry the GK3, and need to rewire the volume, tone cap p u to jack circuit. I must have gotten sloppy somewere got a big hum to deal with. Once that's done I should be able to just play the chord in I hope. Not sure how that would work w/realtracks. Too much tech stuff to keep up with these days and keep up with adobe house maintenance, access road maintenance ....OK I'll stop whinning, I actually like doing all that stuff but it gets in the way of makin' music. Which is still a priority, Feel like I'm running out of time, sometimes. Thanks again.

Ron

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first?

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
