I'm having good results using the MIDI of some jazz guitar RealTracks to feed the Ample Sound classical guitar. But it's a bit cumbersome to cut/paste the MIDI data. Right now I'm selecting it in the Piano Roll view from the RealTrack track, then pasting it into a Utility track, but it takes multiple selections to scroll to the end of the piano roll data, and I have to make sure it lines up/snaps right in the target Utility track. It seems like Copy/MoveTracks should do this, but when I select to copy the MIDI to a destination track, nothing gets copied. In a perfect world, while I'm still building my arrangement and trying out different generations, I'd like to route the MIDI from the RealTrack to a plugin without having to copy it over. Ultimately I'd probably put it in a Utility track. (And ultimately I'll also end up putting the track into my DAW, so it's mainly just finding the best workflow while I'm still building up my arrangement in BiaB).

Any suggestions?

Hi Chuck,

Try the following...

1. Generate your song.

2. Using the Top Menu Bar, drag the track you want to create MIDI to the MID quadrant of the Dropbox.

3. Now import the MIDI file that would have been saved in \bb\Dragdrop and assign it to the Utility track.

Regards,
Noel

That des work - it’s the first thing I tried after I couldn’t get Move/Copy to work. It’s a bit quicker to copy/paste in the piano roll.

Then try the following...

1. Generate the song.

2. Make sure that the track you want MIDI from has notation attached.

1. Go to "Edit | Copy Special | Copy/Move Tracks"

2. Make sure that the MIDI destination track is set to a Utility Track

3. Make sure that the Audio destination track is set to "Do nothing"

4. After executing the action, freeze the utility track

This works for me.

Regards,
Noel

Another option that works great for me is to open the BiaB plugin in my DAW. In your case cakewalk. Open the song file from BiaB and generate. Then drag the wave file of the midi track. If that doesn’t sound like I like I drag the midi itself and render it using a better VSTi then save that wave file to a folder and open it in a utility track.

Well, Noel96, I would swear on everything that I did this exact process several times over the last few days, with no MIDI data showing up in the target. But today it seems to be working fine - tried on a number of combinations. So I'll chock this one up to gremlins or whatever. I don't think I did an update since it wasn't working - I'm on patch 908.

Happily marking as resolved.
