After installing BB 2012 V 350 on a new laptop the Output Chords received by my T C helicon Voice Works (via MIDI) is often not showing the correct chords.
So I guess there must be some setting in BB, which is not correct. Any suggestions?

Also I send the Output Chords via the Roland XV-5050 (MIDI in -> MIDI thru). The Roland seems “to listen in” on the Output Chords information, resulting in low but annoying accordion / sax group like chords, played in the root position. Any tips on how to avoid this?



Hey Tonnie,
Your setup is very similar to mine. You're right that if you use one MIDI port for the XV modsule, then MIDI THRU to the voiceworks, the sound module will play the notes as they pass through to the Voiceworks. Bummer. I hate when that happens.

There are probably several ways to address this, but here's what works for me: I use separate MIDI out ports for the sound module and the voiceworks. Many MIDI interfaces have more than one port.. .I have a Midisport 2x2 anniversary edition (compatible with windows 7)


This approach not only keeps my instrumental MIDI data separate from my vocal data, it also gives me 16 channels that I can use to send controller data to other MIDI controllable devices, such as guitar effects, etc

Using 2 MIDI ports works great in Real band, because RB allows multiple MIDI ports. BIAB only allows one, and that one port must send all 16 channels to the device. Sonar has a way that you can declare which channels go to which device so that you can address multiple devices without conflict even though you only have one MIDI port, but to my knowledge, BIAB cannot do this. (good item for the wish list, though)

This is getting long... more in the next post
