Hello-
One function I've used in Band-in-a-Box is converting real tracks to midi data and then triggering a virtual instrument with this midi data.
I have noticed that chord holds and shots are not represented in the midi data when exported. Does anyone know of a way to have these in the midi data?
Thank you-

Unfortunately this is a glitch that has been around for years The only 'remedy' you have (as far as I know) is entering these chords by hand or by the use of an external midi instrument. You could alternatively try work around this issue by selecting some string style for these held chords (and not set them to Hold/shots in chord settings!) and export that to midi. You may probably need some midi editing on these still, but not as much as otherwise. I myself usually resort to enter these chords by hand, but that's relatively easy for me as I have external midi instruments to work with. In any case, I think you should submit this glitch to PG support (support@pgmusic.com), it's way overdo for a fix.

Thanks! I was thinking a work around could be using a midi track instead of real track at those parts but I'm not sure this works either.

That's actually not a bad workaround, certainly more simple than my suggestions, and it should absolutely work. You should still have a look at what notes the track in question went with. I usually find myself having to trim some notes off the result, as the chords tend to be quite "rich" when I go with this method. But well, at least it works ![smile smile](/forums/images/graemlins/default/smile.gif)

Hi Icelander .
Do you have Melodyne ? Melodyne does an excellent job of converting audio to midi without the glitches you comment upon , plus it does so many other valuable tasks as well..., just an alternative suggestion .
I would also hit up support as the other comment mentioned to report that bug you commented on, and hopefully that hiccup could then be logged ...., then worked on and hopefully recitfied ASAP

I do believe I have a "trial-ware" version of Melodyne somewhere, now that you mention it, though it hadn't occurred to me it might be useful in this particular context. So thank you for that tip, it's certainly worth a look ![cool cool](/forums/images/graemlins/default/cool.gif)
