OK, so I loaded NUGRASS.STY which is all MIDI. Then I soloed the guitar track and watched it on the Piano Roll. and I noticed what you guys told me...that the instrument data is regenerated every time I click the Generate and Play button! so that is cool!!

then I also noticed that each instrument is confined to a certain area of the scale, banjo a little higher than guitar and bass lower than everything else. so that is cool too!

so I guess BIAB is generating MIDI data for each track (assuming the track is MIDI) and it is confining it to the approximate range of that instrument.

do you know if BIAB is creating each track of MIDI data with some "awareness", other than scale, of the instrument identified in the style? for example, does BIAB know to create a banjo roll with the high note (5th string) in its proper position? another example would be a ukulele (4 strings) vs. a guitar (6 strings); would BIAB always generate its chords and arpegs to match the instrument in the style?

so, if I wanted to use BIAB as a starting point for creating MIDI data for the various VSTs I now have in KOMPLETE would it be a good idea to first choose a BIAB MIDI style with the instrument I want in the style I like and then save that MIDI data to bring into my DAW and match that up with the virtual instrument?


THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all of the help!! I feel I am only now beginning to understand the power of these tools, BIAB, MIDI, DAW and VSTs!!!
