You can import/open the chords from SGU, MGU etc.. If you go to File > Preferences and de-select Auto Generate Song And if you are still using Reaper BiabVST Chords to Reaper (Video)
I asked about adding an "Import Chords from MIDI" feature into the VST 4 months ago which would make the VST a whole lot easier since MIDI is universal between a multitude of programs and not just BIAB. They did say that the feature is already on their to-do list but it has been backlogged while they work on higher priority items. They said to check back in the release notes for updates. Which i've been doing for the past 4 months haha
There's a few workarounds that i've been able implement to get midi into the VST within my DAW but it really hinders the work flow and inspiration.
It be a lot easier to just import midi within the VST.
but it really hinders the work flow and inspiration
That says it all !!!!! I came here 10 years ago thinking the same thing, all I have been doing is fighting (and that's not a joke, very high stress level !) to get things fixed and implemented and a VST made due to crashing of RealBand, so I'll get back in the ring and take another swing.. as I said it's shouldn't be too hard to use: the dialog Interpret Chords from Midi file in BBW4 and send the chords back to the Plugin.
............. They did say that the feature is already on their to-do list but it has been backlogged while they work on higher priority items................
This VST should be their highest priority! This is their link to a countless number of DAWs. Both hobbyists and pros could use this if it worked had a much easier workflow.
I have been working with MIDI since the late 1970s. This is the hardest to try to get working VST that I ever have come across. so hard in fact the I have given up......again! The only thing I use it for is to import chords into Studio One Pro and that is thanks to Pipeline and not PGMusic. YMMV
Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer. It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
Midi chord sequences need to move this simply between applications. Can you even imagine moving these chord charts into BIAB or the BIAB-VST like this?
Thanks guys !!!!! I was honestly going to give up totally and delete my account lately but thanks to users like JJJ and you I kept at it though it does take it's toll.
