My Xmas project - Realband - sounds like it could actually be more suitable for what I want.

In the mean time, I've moved my set list to the jukebox and it's working fine most of the time, changing patches / cc commands on most BIAB songs, but not all. It's always the same midi patch that it throws in (74 or 76) and then refuses to obey the patch change / cc commands following it. I'm also getting a few error messages from BIAB 2016 that basically crash BIAB. Hopefully new upgrades will work through most of them in due course.

I haven't yet worked out how to have the harmonies following midi at the same time as the cc/patch changes. Previously, that had worked fine. Easy enough to switch back to having the harmonies follow the guitar playing, but more reliable if following midi notes from BIAB as maybe I'm not playing guitar all the time or soloing etc. In Knocking on Heaven's Door the harmonies are totally wrong as it's trying to follow non-existent midi notes. When I later switched it back to guitar - no problem.

I'm actually finally reading the BIAB manual. Yesterday it put me to sleep, although it is very informative - albeit big!

How are you thinking of integrating your midi guitar? To play patches for soloing purposes? I have an old Roland one built into my Strat. I used to love the look on punter's faces when you played a Alto/Tenor Sax solo or a Fender Rhodes solo.
