I'm new to BIAB but not to using software. I found your posts interesting and have a few questions if I may.
I was under the impression by the manual that the "harmony" send was MIDI triad info and not AUDIO data sent through the DXi synth, since you said that it sent triads to your harmonizer to interpret. I also use one, but it's a dgitech vocalist live 4 (no MIDI)(unless I'm missing something?)
Here's what I'm running into so far.I am stricktly at this point importing my MIDI files into BIAB, the only way I've found so far is to do that by importing them into the "melody" where at least I can edit all 16 channels as needed.(I do use the lyric option, so I save them as kar files.) So here is my dilema.
If I use the internal DXi,(ex- sound canvas) to play back the MIDI files, I cannot send MIDI to any external source (other than through the harmony channel mentoned?).I do use the MIDI "through" channel to play along using my cotroller keyboard, that works fine.(but "through" does not mean "external" in this instance) since I do want to control some other MIDI external devices (lighting,etc).
If I use my USB MIDI device as the driver,I cannot then use the DXi synth to play back internally.I don't see a way where one can "assign" the MIDI channels to go external or be routed to the DXi, which would be exactly what I want to do. My workaround for this experiment is to open one instance of BIAB running the DXi synth for playback, and a second instance loaded with the MIDI "out" data for the lighting and pedals,ect.and start them at the same time,(or a close to that as possible, compensating for time on the less critical MIDI controller portion)Sorry to be so long winded,but I'm hoping the explaination will elicit some ideas. I have been using a Ketron Midjay, which of course will let one do all these things, but I now want to "slim down" my setup hopefully into my laptop, where I can also control my guitar software, do away with extra monitors, cables, boxes,etc. Hope it isn't a pipe dream!!! thanks to anyone willing to lend a hand. bob1474
