DISCUSSION OF USER DEFINED CUSTOM BIAB CHORDS - NEW FEATURE IDEA or SILLY ?
reason for the post. i was busy on a new song idea this week, and this possible feature popped into my head.
over the years ive noticed certain users wishing to use a chord structure with a series of notes outside of biab's recognised set list of chords and extensions etc.
now i DO realise one could use notation / piano roll...but i got to thinking (and i dont claim to be a chord afficionado) it might be nice if a biab user entering chords in the biab chord sheet could also call on maybe up to 5 user defined chords.
lets call them "X CHORDS". user defined chords.
heres how it might work.
1. user defines notes in up to 5 X chords. X1, X2, X3, X4,X5 which biab stores.
2. in the chord sheet (for midi) when the user enters one of the X chords biab recognises it from the defined user list of notes in that chord , and voila plays those notes in the X chord for the instrument in question.
eg D,X3 or A,X2 kind of idea. these X chords entered in the chord sheet would of course show up in notation / piano roll etc. would this make things easier for certain users in useing special chord sets ?
i dont see how it might work for RT's as i dont know the internal workings of biab.
silly idea or not ?
best
