Hi Neil,

Realdrums do not offer individual instrumental control.

That said, in BIAB 2019, Realdrums with notation were introduced. Since this notation is MIDI-based, it is easy to use it with either a general midi synth or a dedicated drum synth such as EZ Drummer to drive a drumkit. By adding or removing the necessary notes from the midi notation, you could arrange the drums as you want.

As an example, the link below takes you a file I created that began with "NashvilleEven8^1". My process was as follows...

1. Loaded the Realdrums into BIAB.

2. Generated the track.

3. Dragged the "Realdrums" track on the horizontal menu to the MID section of the dropbox (see below). If my BIAB display looks different from yours use CTRL+T to switch between views.



4. I then right-clicked on the dropbox, opened the "DragDrop" folder and dragged the the .mid file to my DAW (I use Reaper).

5. Next, I put a softsynth on the midi track in Reaper and deleted and added notes to create a drum arrangement.

Below are 8-bar audio clips to give you and idea of how some different softsynths sound.

(a) Cakewalk's TTS-1 General Midi Synth



(b) The VSTSynthFont64 BIAB 64-bit



(c) Sforzando - using PG Music's "Jazz Brushes Kit"



(d) EZ Drummer - Cocktail kit



(e) EZ Drummer - Pop/Rock kit



Hope this helps give some insight into different possibilities.
Noel
