Is there any way to control this in BIAB? ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=28531&filename=Screenshot 2024-08-23 124850.png) I know this second picture shows every other chord entry, but this picture was all I have at this time. I want a bar of midi for every bar I enter the Chord in.

Dan, I don't know how to do this in BiaB. This is how I do it in Studio One Pro so maybe you can also do this in Reaper? I don't have Reaper to try this.
1-bring in the Chords as pictured in picture #1 in Studio One Pro.
2- shorten the 6 measure chord to the end of measure one.
3-hightlight measure one and click on duplicate 5 times to get exactly what is shown in picture #2.
Sometimes I do this with the chord utility track.

Hello Mario, thanks for the input. I am afraid that this is not possible to control in BIAB. The real problem is the behavior in BIAB is not always consistent. Sometimes the chords play and sometimes not. I just don't know what is setting this. Of couse I can edit in Reaper. But I just thought I would ask. I find my self more and more working very hard to get stuff into and out of BIAB. But that is another story.

I was quite sure that I have used this before in BIAB and it worked fine but now I am not sure.
When I am testing it now it does not work.
It seems that a chord only plays when there is a chord change.
So a series of the same chord only play once and a series of alternating chords will play on each chord as far as I can see.
Maybe there is a setting somewhere.
(I mostly use EZKeys for this nowadays since I often need the chord structure there as well.
When I am starting from scratch, the "add standard groove" will get eight basic chords in the key for the song in the song line and each chord is playing once for each bar, it is only to change, add or remove as needed.
If I go from SongMaster Pro I export to MusicXML and 1) import it to BIAB it seems to work fine now. 2) import it to Musescore and export it to a midi file which I then drag into EZKeys and then I have it all in both BIAB and EZKeys (and the recently updated EZBass 1.2 now imports EZKeys2 files directly)).

I was quite sure that I have used this before in BIAB and it worked fine but now I am not sure.
When I am testing it now it does not work. Yes, from my experience this behavior has changed. But this may also have also been inconsistent in the past. Lets stay on topic. I think this is "Wrong Behavior for BIAB". If I put a chord in a bar I want to hear that chord play in the midi track! Below is the Chords Track in BIAB. It shows that whenever a chord is repeated it will NOT play the subsequent chord. I feel the midi chord track needs to play ALL the chords I enter! Am I wrong? As it is now, it make no difference to the midi file if you have a chord entered or you don't have a chord entered. In either case no sound it played. If I don't want sound played I will remove the chord. This is causing a hugh effort on my part to edit this 100+bar song in my DAW when it should have been a Cut&Paste! ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=28532&filename=Screenshot 2024-08-24 104859.png)

Dan, I see the video and I agree something is amiss.
Can you give us step by step detail especially of whether these are MIDI tracks? And list the style too.
I do remember back in the MIDI-only days there was something similar: using a single period to force a rest HAD to be a different chord than the held chord preceding it. So there is history…

Matt, yes, there is history.
This specific issue is entirely the chord midi only. No involvement of Styles. This midi is generated by the MidiChord feature to match the Chord Chart and is setup in the Preferences. You know this one. It was revamped two, maybe three years ago so that it writes to a Utility track which it names "Chords". Misha (RustySpoon) was a big advocate for it when it was last released. We use this midi track primarily to drive VSTis. My best recollection is this tied behavior is new, but I can't be sure of that.
This issue is very similar to what we (you included) have discussed in the past in terms of any general midi generation whereby the chord is tied or not tied to the next chord in the bar or across bars. That was never clarified in my recollection.
So what is old is new again.

Dan.
re your chord problem.
1..badside is a real tracks style from what i see.
2..i get the same problem as you relying on the chord track.
so the workaround i found if you must use badside instead of a all midi style that suits you is...
1..on each realtrack in bb track window right clik on track name and select midi supertrack.
and choose from the list of supertracks.
2..NOW when you generate you will see the midi patterns on each track in the tracks window...(the audio RT will be wiped and replaced by midi
patterns)...AND the patterns DO CHANGE.
eg A minor chord followed by next bar same A minor chord youll see the midi pattern in tracks window change....
is this what you want ? ie same chord...
but different genned midi patterns for each bar ? i assume so.
frankly i would choose another style rather than badside which is realtracks based it seems. ie choose a all midi style that suits your needs....ie do tests with chord sheet.
some more info.
sometimes on a real tracks style when erasing a rt in order to get the underlying midi....
bb asks me if i want to keep the midi.
it seems on this badside style this isnt the case for some reason.
maybe i'm missing something tho'.
yep what i did was a 'workaround'...but it will allow you to generate various midi patterns for same chords. then input the multitrack midi into reaps and of course get individual tracks driving plugins i assume.
maybe theres a better way from someone but thats what i did.
in summary ignore the chord track and gen midi for the individual tracks in the style...etc etc.
such fun...lol.
hth/happiness.

Dan, I’ve never needed a chord track generated and have never used that feature. That’s why I would need steps to reproduce.

Dan.
more info. (see my previous post also.) and tricks to try.
this is how i got as you say...
' If I put a chord in a bar I want to hear that chord play in the midi track!'...
my question is what do you want to hear ?
a simple eg piano rhythm ? simple arpegs ?
so lets take 4 bars...
Am..Am..Am..Am
do you want slight rhythm differences for each of the above same chords ? so you can decide which ones you like ?
heres another option for badside.
forget about the chord track.
heres an example i came up with.
1. go to eg util track 3 hilte it.
2. in the menu select simple arrangement.
3. in the menu select midi supertrack.
select a rhythm piano say.
4. generate to see the midi in bb tracks view.
when i did this i got a simple midi rhythm piano genned and yes i heard something different with each bar even tho' the chord stayed the same.
with above i could then say go into reaps and edit to keep the midi bar
patterns i liked.
is this more what you want for the song a simple rhythm piano ?
also note there are various settings in the dialog..
'track settings and actions dialog'.
note with above i didnt get any 'ties' for same chords on more than one bar. i got proper notation and not the ties tween adjacent bars.
what are you going for with the song ?
just a simple chording track ?
finally there are various versions of 'unchain my heart' out there.
for example joe cocker does a more up tempo version thats kinda nice.
it would help if you gave a link to which version interests you so everyone has a base reference to help you.
the prob with this stuff is bb (and rb) have loads of different ways to do what a user wants....huge numbers of features.. it just requires lots of experimentation to reach what one hears in ones head.

om, I can only assume you are not familar with the Outputchords feature in BIAB. This was added 2 - 3 years ago primarily at the request of Rustyspoon. Its intent is to provide a midi track for the Chord Chart with block chords in root position for the purpose of driving a VSTi. No longer any workarounds needed, this feature did exactly what was asked for. What I have indicated is it no longer is doing what it was intended to do. ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=download&Number=28547&filename=Screenshot 2024-08-26 061224.png)

If BIAB supported VST3 :(, you would see this being used much much more. Ask Rustyspoon, he can go on about this all day.

Dan,
There is a workaround for your chord problem. Instead of imputing C - C where the second chord is not played input C-C/G. If you put the second chord in another inversion the second chord will play. Weird but it works.

Dan.
re OUTPUT CH.
of course i know about the feature.
great idea by rusty.
however for block chords...more features needed imho as follows... as at this point the block chord feature is limited.
(note DA in the following means a block ch is played.)
for example does the user want one occurrence in a bar or more.
for example a user could get a pounding block chord result (eg 50's ) if a pattern graphic feature was implemented along with the block chords option on a util track.
eg lets say in a 4/4 bar we have a fast pounding block chord beat...
da da da da da da da da or maybe we want just a brief da.
or maybe we want just da on first or third beat.
thus to do this a user would be presented with a 'pattern maker' graphic to fill in for the track as an option in a specific util track menu maybe ?
so lets take a waltz style 3/4 one could have a da on beats 1 and 2 and 3...or maybe just on beat 1 or maybe on beats 1 and 3 ?
on a rocker in 4/4 da da da da...
for ultimate flexibility of course the pattern maker would allow the user to just enter one da or more anywhere in a bar depending on users needs.
it might be nice to create synergy tween different tracks to allow different patterns on different tracks. i'm sure then some users might
want to mix patterns on a track also ?
just some ideas.
the above might obviate the need to futz around in a piano roll and save time ?
me and piano rolls often dont get along...lol.
too much hard work.
ps mario...nice workaround.

OK guys, now the truth comes out.  I understand your suggestions, however, to implement these I would have to spend longer periods in BIAB. My music is made in my DAW, so time spent messin with workarounds in BIAB is nonproductive to me. If I told you how EZKeys does this same thing I would be banned from the forum. So thanks, but no thanks. Glad to share my "Not with a bang but with a wimper" final tour here in the forum. Best of luck to you all. Dan

Yes, the chord in the Chord Track should match the Chord Chart, not the Notation score with tied chords.
Studio One (latest version), Win 11 23H2 , i9 -10940X 3.3 GHz, 32GB Mem, a 4K 40" monitor, PreSonus Studio Live III Console as interface/controller. secondarily test on Reaper, Cakewalk, and S1 on Surface Pro 3 Win 10 (latest versions).

Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1).

Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason.

We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.
