Band in a Box *should* output the chords as written in the chord grid, yes.
But if someone is using a MIDI file, perhaps, expported into BB, things may be a lot different. For example, perhaps the root note is on the Bass track only, or the Piano track may only include RH on one channel and LH bass on another, depending on the file.

That makes sense Mac, didn't think about roots on different tracks. Wonder how that would impact the Helicon units as they seem to want the chord in root position...so if there's no root..what happens to the harmonizer?

Read my earlier remarks about chord subs you mentioned.
I don't think those two subs would be a kill.

Paul,
apparently my problems are not related to your plug at all. I can't get it to change chords even from RB where it has always worked in the past. Time to start swapping cables and maybe try the other voiceworks in hopes of isolating the core problem.
OK, I finally had time to sit and troubleshoot the problem of why this plug was working for everybody but me.
I'm VERY happy to report that it works here now! The problem was an obscure setting called NOTES4CHAN. If it is OFF, then chord data is received on the usual channel specified for receiving data.
But if it's turned ON, then instead of using the declared channel, the NEXT 4 CHANNELS are used instead. (The purpose of the setting is for when you want to send specific notes to each of the 4 backing singers)
I had it turned ON, so the chords weren't getting through because OUTPUTCH only sends to one channel (which I had set to channel 2) ... and the patch changes were making it through on channel 2, but the voiceworks was looking for note data on channels 3,4,5 and 6
this is very cool, Paul! thanks again!

That's great Pat. It figures it would be some obscure setting. Those types of issues can be REALLY hard to find. Good for you.

It seems to me there could be some interesting additions I could make to the redirector. Maybe take a user defined file to control how the chord data is split up to control the singers. I'll have to see if my VoiceWorks supports this and if it does then maybe we could work on something cool.
Of course I don't know enough music theory to do this on my own but some of the regulars on here do. Anyway, it's a thought I'll let percolate a while.
