Now that I'm playing with this some more I'm seeing some more odd things.

Chord options preview goes to the midi drvr, not the DXI.
Big Piano Window uses the thru and sends to midi drvr, not DXI.

There's probably more. Now I've pretty much completed my conversion to DXi/VST so my hardware is pretty much legacy and doesn't stay turned on and setup any more very often, so this is pretty annoying now. Didn't matter too much when I was more HW based.

Granted BiaB doesn't ( need to support) multi-VSTs but it should send all its internal stuff to an enabled DXI rather than switch between the DXI and MIDI drvr's. I'm pretty sure I've got the latest build 242 but will check.


OFT: Midi piping to other apps ?
Ideally, I'd like to be able to use BiaB as MFX vst in Sonar or FLS ( I don't have RealBand so I'll take a look at it). Instead, I'm back to translating to MIDI and exporting/importing rechannelizing as needed and then do voicing. And then, getting stuff back into BiaB is still awkward. I'm really seeing the value of MIDI files though as opposed to the proprietary formats ( though I'm sure they have there are uses internally ) but it sure is a pain in the arm. Doing the timing/tempo/looping etc across programs is probably too difficult anyway particularly once audio is involved, so then its wav xfers which can be effected but not really edited any more.

I'm still playing with midi-loopers (midi-ox, maple ) but haven't been too successfull setting up templates to drive things realtime.
