I gather that even if I am using only midi, BIAB still does not support a row of 8th note chord changes?


Whether MIDI or RealTracks, BIAB only supports quarter note chord changes with the ability to push some of them to the left by 1/16th or 1/8th. But when you do that, the slot for the one you pushed is no longer available to have a different chord on the beat.

The best you can do is to use two measures to equal one measure and treat the quarter not chords as eighth note chords. Of course you will have to adjust the tempo accordingly, and you will quickly find that solution only works for a handful of styles. Bob Norton does sell "expanded styles" that take all this into account, but those styles still use two measures to equal one measure. They sound fine, but if you need notation, it won't be right. And again, Bob Norton only sells a handful of "expanded styles".

I've always wondered why there couldn't be a check box that would do the math with existing styles and automatically expand the sounds across two measures (at least as an interim solution until 8th note chord resolution is natively supported), but I don't know how that would work with RealTracks. You still wouldn't get proper notation, but at least it would sound right.

I do hope one day soon we get 8th note chord resolution. There are just two many songs that call for it. We'll see.
