Hello,

I have BiaB 2025 on a Windows 10 PC connected via a Roland Duo Capture EX digital audio interface to a Clavinova 307, which I use both as a MIDI sound generator and as a master keyboard.

Here's a new problem with BiaB 2025 that I didn't have with BiaB 2020: from time to time, when BiaB plays a Realtrack instrument, I hear also the notes of the underlying MIDI track played by another instrument.

Here's a short video where the notes of the guitar Realtrack are also played by a MIDI piano: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1dnBn1ho_H7j6zlvpmSP64IMsCQ2P9fwC/view?usp=sharing

However, in Track Settings / MIDI channel, I set the channel of the underlying MIDI track to "Do not reroute" (screenshot below)

How can I prevent BiaB from playing the underlying MIDI track of a Realtrack, especially with an instrument other than the one in the Realtrack!

Thanks in advance for your advice.

Looks and sounds to me like that is indeed an Audio RT playing Guitar on that soloed track. Why do you feel it is midi?

Which RealTrack(s) have this problem?
If you let us know we can check it out ourselves.

Have you tried the return to factory settings/most? That may solve your problem.

I listened and I can't tell if it is some other instrument playing along OR the guitar or the guitar's effect(s).

Strange, it does sound like a piano playing along with the guitar.

This is likely of no help whatsoever, but this happened to me once when I left Jam Origin's MIDI Guitar standalone active. No matter what BiaB played, there was a MIDI piano following along. Drove me NUTS for a few minutes. Hope your issue is something simple, too.

Mario, in the video, it's Guitar 2 (not visible on the screen shot).

It does sound like a piano playing the MIDI. The MIDI with some RealTracks is not meant to be heard; it is to show notation for educational purposes. As to what is doing it here, I think we need to have your song file posted somewhere that we can download.

I could be very wrong about this, but I'm not remembering any new MIDI features introduced between BIAB 2020 and 2025.

Is the Realtrack on BIAB's original Melody or Soloist track. These are tracks #6 and #7 (from the top of the mixer). Since the original Melody and Soloist tracks were originally designed for user-input and playable notation, it's possible that the volume control affects the audio as well as the underlying MIDI.

If Guitar 2 is on the original Melody or Soloist track, try moving it to a Utility track and erasing it from its present track. That might be make a difference.

That gave me a thought - it is possible to enable Playable Realtracks on an RT track then specify all notes as Playable without creating a mute region, which would cause the notes to play through Sforzando while simultaneously playing the underlying RealTrack. That's an awful lot of hoops to jump through for this to happen though.

In the video it shows that the track in question is Utility 1.

Hello Dr Dan,

For my part, I can hear the guitar from the realtrack, but I can also hear a piano playing the same notes! Can't you?

Best.

Hello Mario D,

In the clip I sent, it's a "Utility" track that I used to add a realtrack guitar solo to my song. Note: I have this problem with all the "Utility" tracks on which I add instrument solos.

And clearly, it's not an effect of the guitar audio track, but rather the notes of a piano in MIDI: while I did choose "Do not re-route" in Track Settings, MIDI Channel, and I hear a piano with the guitar, if I now go to Track Settings, MIDI Channel, and choose channel 10, I hear drums with the guitar!

For example, listen to: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lYTP-Bg0aWZKGCNY-nrd8_e08B1vCzgT/view?usp=sharing

In fact, it's as if the underlying MIDI notes of a "Utility" realtrack are played by default when they should NOT be played by default!

Best.

I would do a Return To Factory Settings/ALL.

Hi Simon,

Yes, I could Return to Factory Settings/ALL.

But, while I've used this option maybe 2 or 3 times in 5 years with Band in a Box 2020 (my previous BiaB version), I've already used it 5 or 6 times in 5 months with Band in a Box 2025!

I wonder if I didn't get a buggy version of BiaB 2025 because there are several things that are wrong:
- already, during installation, two files were corrupted and didn't install (\bb\Styles\BLANKE16.STY and bb\Demos\MIDI Style Demos\Misc\BlankE16.SGU),
- I encountered a lot of problems that I didn't have before with the MIDI relationship between BiaB and my Clavinova (my previous messages),
- the list of my songs when I click on the "Songs" button often takes almost 10 seconds to open,
- I hear these MIDI notes on Utility realtracks,
- lots of other little issues I haven't noticed along the way ...

I'm wondering if I should abandon my hard drive version and download an online version from the PG Music website. With Wi-Fi, it will take me 2 days; maybe with an Ethernet cable it could be faster. Do you think it's worth a try?

Best.

Thanks for the idea, DC Ron.

But I don't think it applies to me:
- For MIDI, I'm not using a virtual instrument, but an external hardware sound generator, in this case my Clavinova CVP 307, via a digital audio interface.
- In the mixer window, I can see that there's no instrument plugin attached to the Realtrack in question.

Do you think I should check anything else?

Best

Hello Matt,

Here's a link to download the track corresponding to the two videos I sent:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WSo2gGbdVl4Itjdc7WMl6ShvOXxZZ7Oi/view?usp=sharing
Please note, I don't encounter this problem every time. So, I don't know if you'll encounter it too.

However, could you try to see if you can also hear the drums when you select channel 10 in Track Settings, MIDI Channel for the Guitar 2 (or Guitar 3, or Vibes 2, or Vibes 3) realtrack? If so, do you think this is normal for a realtrack?

Best.

Hello Noel,

As you can see from the last screenshot I sent, the track I'm having the problem with is a "Utility" track: it's not the Melody track or the Soloist track.

But your comment made me think about deleting the notes displayed in the RealTrack's notation window, i.e., the MIDI notes. Well, after deleting the displayed notes, I no longer hear the piano at the same time as the guitar!

As I was saying to Mario D: it's as if the underlying MIDI notes of a "Utility" RealTrack (but may be also a classic RealTrack) are played by default when they should NOT be played by default! Isn't there a setting somewhere that prevents this?

Best

Have you tried unplugging your Clavinova CVP 307?
Or setting its CC2, CC7, CC11 (all volume controls) to zero?
My thought is maybe your Clavinova CVP 307 is seeing the MIDI data and playing it. I say this as when you delete the MIDI data nothing plays.

I have used RTs along with a lot of MIDI sound sources, software and hardware, and never had this problem.

I am glad that you found a workaround.

Hello again, Simon,

I'm not sure I understand what you're suggesting. Specifically, what do you mean by "specify all notes as playable without creating a mute region" and how do I do it?

But in any case, is this compatible with the fact that I'm using an external hardware sound generator and not a virtual instrument controlled by Sforzando?

This sound like an inconsistency (and maybe a bug). My take on it is that the underlying MIDI notation for a Realtrack (generated on a Utility track) does not have its volume output either disabled or set to zero during the generation process.

Hello Mario D,

Thanks for your suggestion, but it's difficult to disconnect the Clavinova since I also use it as a sound generator for "true" MIDI tracks like the melody track, and as a master keyboard if I want to record via MIDI.

And while it's usually possible to control the volume of a virtual instrument and the control knobs are relatively easy to find, I don't even know if it's possible to control the volume of a MIDI channel on a Clavinova, and in any case, I don't know how to do it on my Clavinova: to configure MIDI on the Clavinova CVP 307, there are several screens that I don't really understand (screenshots below)! I'll try, but I'd much prefer if PG Music explained what's going on and found a solution... 😊!

Best.

Yes, Noel, that's what I think too.

But in that case, there must be a way to fix this problem in Band in a Box. Unfortunately, for now, I don't see it.

In any case, reverting to the factory settings isn't enough: I still have this problem with MIDI notes playing on realtracks, but this time I hear isolated MIDI notes (one note about every 10 to 20 bars) on the usual realtracks (not the Utility Tracks)!

And in this case, the solution of erasing the underlying MIDI notes from the realtrack doesn't work! But it's less annoying because it's just a single note every now and then.

I wish PG Music could find an explanation for this.

...............................

If I read this right your Clavinova is a sound source for only MIDI, thus audio is being played by something else, Maybe an audio interface, i.e. soundcard? If that is correct there is one thing you can try that may indicate where the problem is and that is use the BiaB Coyote WT for the MIDI sounds (I know they will not sound anywhere as good your your Clavinova) and turn off your Clavinova. Listen carefully. Do you still hear the piano? If yes then the problem is with BiaB; if it is sending MIDI the CoyoteWT will play it. If not then the Clavinova is reading the MIDI file and playing said piano part.

Good luck
