Since now I know that I cannot create a new song from the vsti and be able to make changes real time without regenerating, (Imagine 4gb on the savedtracks folder after 12 changes of a single song !!!!), I would like to create the song on the Desktop and once I have finished creating notes and endings, I would like to cut and paste from the Desktop to the VSTI, but it does not work.\

I know that I can save the MGU file and open it in the VSTI.

I just would like to save 2 or 3 steps and cut and paste directly

If you use midi to create the progression up in the Plugin by generating only midi with no wav, then you send the midi to your DAW to a GM soundfont. There are tutorials for this in this forum.

If you set the Plugin open folder to your saved SGU MGU folder it will open there each time.

The Plugin can copy chords from one instance to the other as it just copies the chords as text to the clipboard:
Code:
C,,,,Am,,,,F,,,,G,,,

You can’t really make real time changes in BiaB either, as it also has to generate after any change. The main program allow you to start playback after changes and continues the generation process in the background during playback. This feature is not available in the plugin as it was not designed to replace BiaB just to be a BiaB lite for quick track creation inside a DAW project. To add to pipelines advise you don’t need to copy and paste just save any song created in BiaB and open it in the VSTi plugin. Generate and drag.

Currently the clipboard in BIAB stays within BIAB - you're not able to copy from the main BIAB app chordsheet into any other program, even if that's into the BIAB plugin or even another instance of BIAB itself.

I've created a request to the dev team to see if they can change that in a future version. I'm not sure if they can implement it or not though. For now, it's best to save the song in BIAB then open in the DAW Plugin.
