Hi Guys, the manual BIAB (2020) says Output Chords to Midi is in Preferences (options)
Does this feature actually exist, I can't seem to find it.

Ps. I'm trying export Chords to EZKeys

Thanks smile

Still there and working fine as you see. But it has been out-performed by the BIAB-VST when working with EZKeys in the DAW.

Thanks Dan - I was just doing some "Stuff" in EZKeys Standalone.
Normally I would use the BIAB plugin in Studio One.

Glad you got it working. I was doing some "Stuff" in EZBass with the BIAB-VST and Reaper today. Besides the discovery of several limitations of EZBass (which I have owned for 1 day), I was pretty happy with the eventual outcome of using the BIAB chords to generate a smokin bass line.

Hi, could you pls advise what you can do with BIAB-VST and Ezkeys in terms of midi? I have these two programs.

Thank you

You on the right course with the "Options | Preferences and select the [OutputCh.]" Feature in BIAB. This feature was transferred and expanded over to the BIAB-VST as part of the "Chords Output" [C7 Button]. Essential what both do is create a midi file of the Chord Chart, with all the content written in Root Position Block Chords with the duration of each chord equal to the time length within the bar. For example \Cm7\ would hold for 4 beats in a 4/4 bar, while each block chord in \C,G7 F, C\ would hold for 1 beat. These very simple chord structures (triads or extensions if necessary) are perfect to use as the midi triggers to send to any Kontack library or VSTi Instrument from within your DAW.

Or you can copy and past (or drag and drop) the midi data directly from BIAB or the BIAB-VST into a VSTi such as EZKeys. In this case EZkeys can use the chords to create all of its magic from its library.

This can be very powerful when all combined in your DAW for music making. Hope that helps.

Dan
