highlight > Script: ReaTrak midi chord input to region chord player.lua and click Edit copy this text if notenums == "0,4,7"
click back on the script window ctrl+F ctrl+V Enter
will take you to the chords you can see what ones are missing and let me know or you can add the chord in 0 being the root of the chord and 4 being 4 notes up from 0, 7 being 7 notes up from 0 ctrl+S to save and re-run
Sorry I was looking at the chord player not the chord picker. So it needs a Cadd2 (add9) button as BB uses the 2 for the 9 ?
Sorry, just saw this now.
I'm pretty sure there have been multiple threads about the add9 chord issue, and, from what I understand, it remains very much an issue :-(
I never really mentioned the matter in the context of BiaB because since the program does so poorly with most extended chords as it is, whether or not the chord was symbolically added, it probably would not generate correctly when entered--even in MIDI--so I kinda gave up on having my favorite chord play--which could be incredible in MIDI--especially when using arpeggiotars and sequence based VSTis.
Your scripts have opened up doors for me I've hardly dared dream of in the context of MIDI. The notes populate as many measures as you like, without break, given long ramp times for evolving synth patches to swell and percolate (with BaiB the most you could enter via the piano roll was a dotted whole note...and there was no ability to join notes). Also, every note in a chord is fully represented.
After setting up your scripts in Reaper, I've been connecting with the BiaB process like never before. The possibilities are endless! Thanks you so much!
Edit: a sus2 chord is not an add9 chord, and I have no idea why BaiB would advance that position...
Edit 2: Just read your previous post a little more closely, and realized I launched my rant to quickly. I didn't realize that add2 and sus2 were diff ways BaiB handled their naming conventions in this context.

Why would BaiB do this anyway? the 2 and 9 are an octave apart, and the main reason I love the add9 chord is the unique characteristic the higher note adds.
Maybe I should have followed those other threads more closely, lol. Fact is that my work volume fluctuates significantly during certain periods of the year (kinda like with CPAs when closer to tax season). So how much I'm involved in what goes in the forums at any given time is very varied...

If you are restricted with the 255 SGU bar limit you can do it with the Biab Plugin by highlight the existing chord regions in Reaper then "Insert Bars" then "Biab Plugin Chords". You can also use RealBand as it will also let you create lots of different endings and sections. You can then save the chords as musicXML then drag n drop into Reaper and use the "MusicXML Chords" button.
In the pic I'm using the fill colors but at the moment it don't use the fills so say no to fill colors. I'm working on the fills at the moment so it will play them automatically or when you hit the same chord.
You should be able to split your keyboard to play arranger chords/melody/keyswithches using JS MIDI Keyboard Splitter, with Xackley Zero Tricks. So insert a track under MIDI Chord Input track, drag the ROUTE from track 2 onto track 1 ROUTE, enable the keyboard input from track 1 to track 2, arm to record and record monitor ON. You can drag another ROUTE from Track 2 to a Virtual Instrument track that will play your melody/lead sending all channels or a particular channel that is set in the Keyboard splitter.
Here's an update if you hit the same chord again it should play a fill, see how it goes and I'll do the post fills so as you change from one section to another it will play a fill in current section then post fill in new section. When you get the chords "Biab Plugin Chord" choose yes to color fills. Right click Save Target/Link As ReaTrak midi chord input to region chord player.lua
Thanks for the great work developing and testing this guys. I'll be keen to give it a go when I get BIAB and when a tutorial setup video is available to follow along with.
I was just watching this video A battle between Band in a Box and Yamaha PSR SX900 With the Region Chord Player you can play all these Biab RealTracks/Drums with your keyboard with live real time chord changes rather than the yamaha midi styles.
Here's another script you can use with the Live Chord Input tool. This will let you have different regions (chords) on another track. You can then load the Biab Plugin on each track with a different style, key or tempo. You only need to solo the Master track in the Biab Plugin. To get the Chords from the Biab Plugin into Reaper's regions use "Biab Plugin Chords" button in ReaTrak to get the chords for current Plugin you to hit "Biab Plugin Chords" after you open the SGU or enter chords in the Plugin, save it then re-open it then "Biab Plugin Chords".
If you already have ReaTrak installed use "ReaTrak markers regions per track.lua" in Scripts\ReaTrak
If you don't have ReaTrak installed on Reaper use "Marker region tracks GUI.lua" if you only want the marker region script.
From here you will need to install Lokasenna GUI or via ReaPack and run Library/Set Lokasenna_GUI v2 library path.lua
You can Import region/marker.csv by View > Region/Marker Manager
add regions or markers manually or import
select the track you want the markers/regions added to then hit the "Insert Marker Track" or "Insert Region Track" select another track and do the same. If you insert a new track make sure it's not in a track folder like the Regions and Markers tracks, if so just drag out.
Hey there Pipeline and all, it's been awhile and hope you're all doing well :-)
I've been absent from these here forums for the longest time, and I know Pipeline has been putting all sorts of awesome stuff out there in the interim which I have not been keeping up with unfortunately because life's been very busy!
So basically, I've been thinking of trying to make some EDM style RTs and RDs, and wanted to follow up on this thread to see if what I want to accomplish can still be done, (or done better/quicker/more efficiently) with BiaB 2022 (with or without the VST plugin).
Basically, I want to "print" the UT template(s) into Reaper such that the notes appear in the Reaper regions, and with the MIDI notes for each chord, (perfectly quantized to start and end time with no velocity information or the like) on a track immediately below, so I can use those MIDI notes as "blocks" to arpeggiate and sequence in VSTIs to ultimately record into audio tracks...
I apologize for reviving this old thread, lol, but it delivered the exact results I'm looking for now back then, and other then wondering if I could do it in a better or quicker way now, I'm also concerned about compatibility issues what with it being Reaper 6 now and also w/ BiaB.
Thanks in advance!
