Jim,

Thanks.

As far as I can tell, there is a bug in Real Band where it will not create a midi for real drums if you check also create real chart.

I have to do the drag and drop or save as midi.

It does create a real chart for instruments.

I think others have said they have the same issue as me.

This bug should be checked out I think.

Above I had guessed that all of the RealDrums now have notation. I checked and I was pretty close. Almost all do.

There are a few that have what they call notation videos, and one called FunkSwing that has no entry (probably an error in data entry).

Thank you Mr. Fogle!
Much better.


I guess its time to get acquainted with the piano roll editor.


Again, thanks.

David,

I'm not as familiar with using RealBand as I should be.

Do you mind providing an example where

I find your statement confusing. I've always thought Real Charts are MIDI transcriptions so I'm not sure why you would want MIDI and a real chart for drums.

Well, when you have that box checked, you expect to get a MIDI track along with the RD Audio track in RB. (the MIDI track being the Real Chart).
That is how it is expected to work by most in RB ..
Some have found it doesn't.

It has been reported to dev team via Beta communications previously, and I just bumped the item FWIW (I can only go as far as my powers allow, and even then I'm just a user like you guys).
I also referenced this thread.


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome

I can't speak for David but I can see a few reasons for using a MIDI transcription over real drums. One you can choose a different drum kit or kits; many times I will use one kit for the drums and another for cymbals and in fact I have used some drums from a couple of kits.

Two it is easy to change drums on a MIDI drum kit. For instance changing a low tom to a mid tom or a snare.

Three it is easier to change the drum pattern in MIDI. You can add fills of any length anywhere on the drum track.

Four changing the volume of each individual drum or cymbal.

There are probably more but this is what I came up with on the spot.

I hope I explained myself clearly.

Okay, let me ask the question a different way.

Is Real Charts RealDrums MIDI data?

Is a transcription RealDrums MIDI data?

Assuming both Real Charts and RealDrums transcriptions are RealDrums MIDI data, what is the difference between the MIDI data contained in a RealDrums transcription and the MIDI data contained in a RealDrums Real Chart?

The difference could be that one of the midi files was automatically generated by an e-drum kit when playing while the other midi file was manually transcribed by ear, post playing. But I am just guessing here. crazy

If you want to get the RealDrumCharts from the Drums folder just drag the Melody track to MID from the RealDrums SGU.
You can add them to your EZDrummer user library and find the right beat with Tap2Find or a midi sample clip quicker than having to play them in the RealDrum picker, if you have EZDrummer VST loaded in Biab it will preview them in sync with the other Biab tracks.

Jim,

On the RealTrack menu bar there is a gigantic icon called GENERATE.

If you drop down you can check "also generate real chart."

The real chart is the midi file of the Real Track you will be generating.

It works flawlessly with instruments. I get a midi with every real track as standard practice just in case I need it later for something else.

In my system, it does NOT generate the midi (real chart) for drums. I do not know why. Others have reported.

I can do all of the workarounds listed in this thread, but at some pt. in the future I would like to do it the easy way and that is why I posted the comment and head-up as others have done.

Thanks.

As far as I've been told, RealBand has never done this - RealBand does not generate charts for RealDrums, only RealTrack instruments.

Well dang, Simon, don't ya'll think you might want to add that to the wish list??

And hey, since you play in a metal band with your Carvin, let me ask you a pop quiz for admission to the heavy metal PhD program in the School of Rock.

What is the most important part of a song?

A.) The Drums

B.) Something other than the drums.

C: Whichever band member paid for the recording sessions.



But yes, the answer should be A, especially considering I was a drummer before I was ever a guitarist. This was back when I still had hair.

Anyway, I've been told that the developers are looking into adding this into RealBand, so hopefully this will be possible in the future!
