This is Biab Win/Mac using MiniHost with RapidComposer VSTi Full and Ample Bass VSTi with over 700 Riffs. RapidComposer now has a new added feature that allows you to convert a midi file with keyswitches into a Relative form Phrase with the keyswitches for the VSTi, this allows you to place the phrases over any key/scale/chord. Trial Basses http://www.amplesound.net/en/download.asp# Ample Bass Upright(Trial) v2.51 | Mac | Win Ample Bass Precission(Trial) v2.51 | Mac | Win
Drag the Yellow Audio cable up or Down to tweak the volume in MiniHost.
If you don't have the Full RapidComposer version you can have two separate phrases, one with the keyswitches that stays as Absolute and another, the actual notes that are converted to Relative form. **Remove the String keyswitches at the very top of the midi file, as they won't work because you are changing the Phrases across chords/keys/scales. Keep the keyswitches for the notes on the same notes across the chord track under the midi notes Phrases it belongs to. Download the Video if it's not clear in the player.

Band-in-a-Box 2026 Video: AI Stems & Notes - split polyphonic audio into instruments and transcribe
This video demonstrates how to use the new AI-Notes feature together with the AI-Stems splitter, allowing you to select an audio file and have it separated into individual stems while transcribing each one to its own MIDI track. AI-Notes converts polyphonic audio—either full mixes or individual instruments—into MIDI that you can view in notation or play back instantly.
