I am just wondering if is it possible to generate chords from a giving melody automatically. (for example. melody from MIDI file import, MIDI recorded directly to BIAB, or import audio with only melody)?
I know BIAB can interprets audio file (complete song including melody, drum, bass, guitar, piano etc), and suggesting chords. I also know there was a re-harmonize function (Window|Auto-Generate Chord Reharmonization) that do exactly what I am asking for, but I can't find it in the latest version (2021) of BIAB now. Have I missed something here?
Thank you for your reply, Can you tell me what file to load into BIAB in this example? is it 1. MIDI file only with melody line. 2. Audio file with only melody. 3. Audio file with the full mix of a song (including all instruments and melody etc)?
I'm fairly sure Noel was referring to your own MIDI data file. The MIDI data may include a melody line, but the Chord reharmonization interprets from the MIDI data from either the Melodist or Soloist track.
However, Noel will clarify for sure.
BIAB & RB2025 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
Videotrack is correct. I was meaning a MIDI melody. I also wanted to show you where the "auto-generate reharmonist" was that you mentioned in your original post.
If you are working with a single-note (monophonic) audio melody, I'd first interpret it as MIDI using "Audio >> Audio transcribe" and then use the reharmonist.
If you are working with a full band (polyphonic) audio, the Audio Chord Wizard is the best one to use.
WOW. Thank you guys. Thats exactly what I am looking for. Really appreciate your help here. This will suggest new chord ideas for my melody, so I can pick, change, and modify to fit my taste.
There are so many hidden functions in BIAB, and a lots are not in the user manual.
