When you bring a MIDI file into BIAB, everything gets loaded into the Melody track, but channels are preserved. You should click on the "Sequencer" button to manage the individual channels there. It is not a DAW interface, but does give a number of editing options. Look up Sequencer in the help file or the PDF manual for more details.

That being said, BIAB doesn't take your input MIDI file and distribute it to the different tracks (bass, guitar, piano, etc). Those tracks are for the styles to populate, not the MIDI file. And if all you are doing is using it to play the MIDI file, (without the benefit of styles), then it becomes a very expensive MIDI player.

I often import MIDI files into BIAB, let it interpret the chords (then change around the chords if wrong), then go into sequencer and remove everything except melody, soloist, harmony tracks, and may some signature riff tracks. The style generates the accompaniment, but I get to keep the melody/harmony of the song. Not a true cover, but doing it that way can come pretty close to keeping the feel of the original.
