Chatting over in the ToonTrack EZKeys forum this morning and I have learned you can place up to 32 chords in a single measure. That is 1/32nd resolution! Compare that to the chord resolution of BIAB and you see why we have been asking for improvements in this area for a long time. Not complaining just pointing out options for us.
After a little experimenting, there are some limitations, but still an option worth trying when you need those very short stabs or want to play on the off beats.
32 chords per bar is certainly impressive, although I'm not sure how often it would be required.
Certainly more than four has to be an improvement, but I'm not sure that this will happen. I'm somehow guessing that the underlying architecture for everything produced to date is based around a resolution of 4 chords per bar. Hopefully, I might be incorrect on this.
BIAB & RB2024 Win.(Audiophile), Sonar Platinum, Cakewalk by Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M Monitors, Pioneer Active Monitors, AKG K271 Studio H'phones
I hear ya Dan. I would love to take some of EZ Keys chord progression and insert them into BiaB but I can't. We need at least chord input on an Eight or Sixteenth note in BiaB. If that doesn't happen and other companies keep improving PGMusic could be left in the dust! YMMV
You know you're getting old when a recliner and a heating pad is your idea of a hot date!
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
Is 128 per bar enough ? I can do that in RapidComposer. In ReaTrak it will generate up chord changes on whatever grid. You can do it with the Biab Plugin in a DAW. But yeah, it is really set into everything to have only 4 in a bar. Someone in the wishlist pointed out:

Why is Powertracks and Realband maintaining this convention from the 90s?
90's is where the PG mindset has been, there needs to be fresh minds like in the Scaler, RapidComposer, JJazzLab etc.. development forums.
Band-in-a-Box is all about backwards compatibility. That's a good thing as nobody gets orphaned. Those songs and styles I've been collecting since the early 1990s still work today.
Before BiaB, I was sequencing on a keyboard with a sequencer, running MIDI out to feed other sound modules. One day the keyboard broke, the newer models from the same manufacturer used a different file system, were not compatible, and I lost 300 songs. So I'm thankful that BiaB still plays my old style and song files.
When I first purchased BiaB it was a DOS program on PCs, it worked on Atari/ST computers, and ran on a Motorola CPU Mac. That's pretty much the stone age of home computers.
So BiaB has it's built-in limitations and it's benefits. Even with those limitations, it's still the best auto-accompaniment software or software/hardware app out here.
User Video: Band-in-a-Box® + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!
Since AI is now readily available online as a resource for many things, we recently put together and shared a video where we demonstrated how to create a song using Band-in-a-Box®, ChatGPT, and Synth V; we've also shared a Bob Doyle Media video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band in A Box, showing how they utilize AI for their song projects. Now it's time to share Henry's video, Band-in-a-Box + ChatGPT = Impressed the BOSS!, where he demonstrates how to use ChatGPT and Band-in-a-Box to whip a song project together in only 3-4 hours.
Visit Henry Clarke's YouTube Channel, Henry Clarke - Senior Musicians Unite, to find a large collection of tutorials showing the viewer how to achieve amazing results using Band-in-a-Box®!
If you've reviewed our Support page, you've probably noticed the Videos page, which separates our Band-in-a-Box® tutorial videos by category: Overview, VST DAW Plugin, Setup, Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced, and there's even an Archive category to go down memory lane... (You'll also find these videos on our YouTube Channel.)

User Video: Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box®
The Bob Doyle Media YouTube channel is known for demonstrating how you can creatively incorporate AI into your projects - from your song projects to avatar building to face swapping, and more!
His latest video, Convert MIDI Chords into AI Vocal Harmonies with ACE Studio and Band-in-a-Box, he explains in detail how you can use the Melodist feature in Band-in-a-Box with ACE Studio. Follow along as he goes from "nothing" to "something" with his Band-in-a-Box MIDI Melodist track, using ACE Studio to turn it into a vocal track (or tracks, you'll see) by adding lyrics for those notes that will trigger some amazing AI vocals!
