Thomas,

Continuing on from above...

When it comes to working with MIDI harmonies, Realband is superior to Band In A Box. You have access to running MGU files as well as the tools available in BIAB. The big difference is that Realband will automatically put generated harmony on it's own tracks where it's easier to save the files for use with Synth V.

If you haven't already experimented and tamed Realband, I encourage you to try this. It will definitely streamline creating MIDI harmonies for Synth V.

1) Start Realband and click on the Tracks View.
It's on the top row of icons and to the right of 'Copy' and 'Cut'.

2) Open "File 1 - All of Me.MGU".

3) RB will generate the tracks.
It's a little slower than BIAB because the tracks are generated fully before playback begins.

4) Stop the automatic playback
The Stop button is on the bottom left of the screen with the other transport buttons.

5) Click on the Melody track. Press CTRL+A to select it all.

6) Under the Generate menu at the top of the window, select "Generate MIDI harmony".
Select a harmony... I used #50

7) When the option window appears, select "Put harmonies onto multiple new tracks".

8) To save each of the generated MIDI harmony tracks to a file...
  • Click on the track.
  • Press CTRL+A to select the whole track.
  • Right click on the selected track and right at the bottom of the menu that appears, select "Track" and then "Save track to file".
  • For the file type, select "MIDI" and give the file a name.


I just did this and the files imported into Synth V perfectly.

Regards,
--Noel
