Hi Matt,

Yes. Thete's no criticiasm of BiaB here. These are constraints of the instruments and therefore mostly my problem.

I now have several VSTis that have unusually limited ranges, perhaps 1.5 or two octaves, and some are diatonic. I'd like to be able to constrain BiaB to play only notes that the instrument has. Looking through styles, I think that most diatonic instruments are on RealTracks, which alone may andswer my question, though a few are on MIDI.

All instruments have some limits on note range, many to three octaves from a particular note and BiaB handles that perfectly sensibly, so there must be a mechanism to constraining the range. I suspect thats done using Style and or Harmony data, though that's an area I have yet to properly explore.

Hi Ember,

Yes, BiaB 2022 918. The question is definitely valid, though, as I do sometimes run different versions on different PCs.
