Style Maker / pattern maker gave me all kinds of death notices... I believe Cerio is right! It is possible do it with this:
"Another option would be to manually create a new MIDI Style by importing your MIDI files into patterns (File > Style Maker > Make a New Style > Pattern > Import pattern from MIDI File."
It sort of works, but I had several crashes using trying this "feature", using 2 session and different midi files. I don't have patience for this.
Not a huge thing, but sad that you cant do this easy way, without software coughing.
This would make a good bug report. It would be good to check whether this program instability was already around with earlier versions of BiaB, or whether this is some side effect of the new 2023 version.
Martin, "This would make a good bug report." I sent log to PGmusic through the death dialog popup window.
While it sort of works, not exactly what I am looking for. It creates a style and places the pattern derived from MIDI loop to track, which transposes fine... but it is within the style. Meaning it does not become it's own entity (like user track), but "attached" to that particular style.
A preferred workflow would be similar to picker of SuperMidi. Audition->Open>Done.
At times, when I am looking for particular track, I need to audition dozens (or more) items. So Stylemaker method will not work like that, even if it doesn't crash.
------------------ Again, I found this strange given there is support for ACID audio loops. BIAB was operating as MIDI only for long time, so logically, support for MIDI loops should have been in place prior to audio loops...
Did anyone check this out from in the manual: Fix "Sour" Notes ? It says it's suppose to process MIDI. Maybe it only works if there's audio on the track ?
I posted the Reaper snap midi scripts because I wanted to do this in Biab but couldn't so I made the scripts. If users can't do something in Biab I try to make a Reaper or Autohotkey script to do it, and say here you can try this. I can't hack into Biab to get it to snap midi notes.
I posted about issues I used to have but the post got deleted. I said Biab is working really well now. I said I used to have problems with RealBand crashing, I did BUT since it was made to 64 bit I have had no crashing and I was one of those saying to go 64bit. I said I found Reaper and it's great, I have made so many scripts to work with Biab and BBPlugin for uses with Reaper. From using Reaper I have found ways to improve Biab & BBPlugin. I spend so much time on this over the years to make them better, I'm not out to destroy it and run it into the ground. Look where Biab is now, it's so much better isn't it ? I tell the truth to make things better, I can't be expected to just give sales spin and say it's all wonderful with no issues at all. I go off at times because of frustration with it that doesn't need to be.
Save an SGU/MGU as Unfolded to get the full linear chord progression when imported to Reaper.
Just tried. Importing a MGU / SGU to regions works well (although I've found problems with some files), but after running the second script, I get this error message:
ReaTrak snap midi takes in selection to chords.lua:1143: bad argument #1 to 'GetMediaItemInfo_Value' (MediaItem expected)
Something has changed with that I will look at it later. This one will do the same with manual clicking so run for each chord. It should work for separate items or one glued item.
Thanks for trying, I can see it's not moving to the next region automatically for you as it was using another script so I combined it and updated script. Just overwrite the current one with this update. Download: ReaTrak snap midi takes to chords.zip
I will create another using some of the code in the Midi Phrase Snap to Chord Tool GUI to give a few more options as I think that works a lot better.
Yes, I thought you were using another custom action / script for that, that's why I didn't ask.
However, the new one is also not moving / selecting the new region automatically, and I need to select the new region manually with the time selection tool (if I select directly items, it doesn't work)
Make sure you have SWS Extensions installed https://www.sws-extension.org/ This one is the code from the advanced GUI Midi Snap Tool. Any extra notes will be moved into the next octave, if you want to Mute the notes instead look at the top of the script
Code:
octave_notes_opt = 2 -- 2 to move extra notes to next octave and 1 to mute extra notes
keyswitch_opt = "No" -- "Yes" if you have keyswitches you don't won't moved "No" no keyswitches
If you have a lot of small midi items it works best if you select all of them and right click> Glue Any notes that are muted should un-mute if you change the region to another chord and run script on it again. Use Action "View: Toggle show media cues in items" to show hide Markers in items. Download: ReaTrak snap midi takes in region to chords.zip
