Hello:

I am using BIAB 2022, build 922.
I have not been able to get BIAB to create an accurate Midi File when I use F5 to mute one instrument at the beginning of the song and then unmute it later.

I ran tests using random styles, SW, EV 4/4, 3/4/ 12/8 --and all of the midi files create a file where CC7 (Volume) is set to Zero at the beginning of the track that is muted and then CC7 stays at zero even when the instrument is unmuted. It is very easy to fix in my DAW (Cakewalk), but seems like BIAB should create an accurate file to begin with.

I did most tests using BIAB files that had all RTs with notation, but I did try one with all midi instruments and got the same result.

Also, I could not get the midi files that started as all RTs to play a final held chord (C...) The BIAB file with all Midi instruments did play a final held chord.

PG Support says is can't replicate this result, so I was wondering if anyone else can.

IF you have time, please try the following:

1) Create a song where you use F5 to mute an instrument at the beginning and then later unmute it using F5 settings.

2) End the song with a held chord

3) Use the Midi File Icon in the toolbar (see attached photo) to create a midi file and then open that midi file in your DAW.

I should also mention that I tried Drag/Drop to create midi files for the muted/unmuted track and got the same results.

For Results:

At the beginning does the midi file set CC7 to Zero on the track that was muted?
Does it stay at zero or does it rise to a reasonable level where the track should be unmuted?
Does the midi file play a last held chord?

I would appreciate hearing any results that can then be reported to PG Music.

Thanks,
John

These are the settings and Icon I used to create the test midi files.
