BIAB added notation support for 6/8, 12/8 and 9/8 a few years ago. There are many real and MIDI styles that play in 6/8,9/8,12/8. You can filter them in the stylepicker using the timesig filter, or just simply type 12/8 in the text field.


Just to be clear on this: I see no 6, 12 or 9 support, either in the chord window (4 chords to the bar, or 3 chords to the bar) or in the pianoroll.
In the notation window a 12/8 style comes out as a 4/4 and 9/8 as 3/4. Maybe I missed something, here.

Could you point us to where we can find the notation support for 6, 9 and 12?

As to your point about hearing only 3/4, 4/4, 6, 9 or 12. Depends what you listen to, I think. Calling this “the real world” is a little shortsighted, I think. There are such beautiful songs in odd meters: Conference of the birds (Dave Holland), Survivors’ suite (Jarrett), Teiko (Lyle Mays), Forgiveness (Lionel Loueke).
Maybe you don’t particularly dig that music, that’s fine, but Biab has a richness of styles that most players don’t necessarily play or like. Part of the magic of Biab, to me.

Thanks

Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums.
