You can do just about anything you can think of.

"I think you said we would be able to create our song in BIAB then output the MIDI, WITH CHORDS, into RapidComposer?"

Yes save the song to midi with Chord Output enabled, then import in RC.

"That is one thing I really do not like about RC is how you enter lots of bars in sections that get hidden."

You just put the phrases in the bars on your chord track were you need them.

"I'd love to be able to send MIDI from BIAB to RC then use RC to add patterns to the whole song then bring the MIDI back into BIAB. Any way to do that?"

Yes save the song to midi with Chord Output enabled, then import in RC, create the midi track then just export the midi track in RC then import into biab.


Using the above method will let you build the sound you want in RC before exporting to biab, so you can add riffs solos on whatever bar/s you want.

You can drag any midi from anywhere into RC, convert it to relative form then you can save it as a phrase and drag n drop it anywhere on the chord track and it will fit to the chord/scale.

The best thing to do is follow the step by step guide above getting RC to play along in sync to biab then you can play around with it more. This way you will have the same chord track in each, RC will follow the biab play/stop/loop/position.

When you import the midi from biab just select the midi ctrl A del then you will have a clean track to work with.

To get started try some of the generators in the Phrases window, set the length you need at the top then drag in, right click the phrase - magic wand this will give a lot of options.
You can edit these by double clicking or switch the main track to Note Editing mode to the left of the Snap button.
In the Phrase Editor you can click View Option like on the main track : Color Notes by Rendered Note Color (Chord/Scale/Out-of-scale).

Whatever section you want to work on creating in RC just highlight those bars in biab then loop that section while you find patterns/phrases/riffs/solos that will fit or ones that come close that you can then edit to fit.
Always Save the Session in RC !!!
RC has no Bar offset adjustment at the moment so the bars are out by 2, didn't try disabling the 2 bar count-in in biab to see if that works.
