While I still have you here, and because you may not be available to communicate further when I try to test out whatever it was with the keyboard, I just want to clarify. The idea is to press play in Reaper (after I run the script we've been going over), and it will jam in key along with the chord changes?
Is there another step before we get there, as in a another script I need to run that will input MIDI chords in Reaper as you demonstrated in the UJAM bass piano and keys video?

Ok I'll go to bed. Thanks for trying it as I know how to improve things now to make it easier to install and use. I will make a full easy step by step guide. Then when you learnt it you can make some more of those great videos.

Thanks for the compliment!
TBH, the chord to MIDI part opens up so many doors, I will definitely be making a video about it once I have it down :-)

Just want to let you guys know I've been following this closely. I really like playing arranger keyboards, they're a lot of fun so to be able to run Biab as a live arranger would be very cool.
I just installed Reaper two days ago and I put several VST's on midi tracks and I have sound with a midi file so that's a good start. We all have life issues to deal with along with learning something new like this so I totally appreciate what you guys are doing. An example with me, I live in mountains in California in a fire hazard area and they just cut the power this morning so I'm running the computer and my fridge off a generator right now.

So for me the most exciting thing is the ability to "print" midi chords and have chord progression instantly render into regions in Reaper. After the whole ordeal Pipeline was gracious enough to endure with me, the moment I hit the button to run the script and watching everything fall into place hitting another button which populated a track with MIDI chords (including clean neat MIDI lines with every chord note and all the extensions starting and ending perfectly flush with each measure!...something I've never been able to do with BiaB "held" MIDI piano tracks, and, as far as I know, simply can't be done with BiaB...) my heart leapt right into my throat!
The arranger thing also sounds amazing, and something I hope to get a handle on soon :-)
Good luck with your getting your power back and stay safe, Bob!
Best wishes,
Deacon

Yes you just press Play/Stop on the Chord Player GUI or the associated keyswitch on the keyboard, as you need to set the default keyswitches the same as in the pic, that's if you have the GUI working now ? try all the GUI's *GUI* *GUI 2* Circle of Fifths and GUI Menu. If you click the "Midi Chord Track" button it will give you you midi chord track for instruments to follow.

Bob, please be safe and evacuate as quickly as possible if need be.
The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal". Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.

I repacked this with reaper save configuration and tried it on a clean install of Windows 10 and everything seems to work fine now. I was using Windows zip to pack it but it was not updating the files. Right click Save Link/Target As ReaTrak_Region_Chord_Player2.0.ReaperConfigZip

Save as what? And what do you mean install? Is this an executable? Should I extract this before dragging it elsewhere?

I realize what my mistake was (in case it may help anyone else...) Basically I tried running the script after I generated and dragged the track in, but before I ran the BiaB chord script. Once I ran the latter, the former wormed fine!
