In Logic Pro X there is a chord track but also get weird notes, so not usable. Also found a workaround via creating a piano midi track, but not as elegant as having the BIAB chord output to MIDI feature - so great if this can get looked at / fixed. But can also confirm it works for playback on Mac - but not MIDI. Last edited by ColinMc1; 10/05/19 02:16 AM. Colin Mc Productions using BIAB: https://www.bandlab.com/colinmc_123

Biab, RealBand, BB Plugin Chords & Tracks into Cubase Reaper Studio One Win/Mac If you have the Biab Plugin in Cubase you can generate up any Held chord midi track drag it into Cubase and it will create the chord track from it. I will get around to making a script to get the chords from the Biab Plugin into Cubase.
