Does one exist?
Thanks

You may well already know, but if not: you can search both RealTracks and Styles for a keyword like flute.
Just put it into the search box, possibly setting or clearing other filters first.

Patrick,
Bob and Gordon are correct.
There are dozens of "flute" tracks available. To find all the Real and MIDI tracks, go the the MultiPicker, enter "flute" in the Filter String box and browse the tabs along the top for RealTracks, MIDI Sup (MIDI SuperTracks), and MIDI Tk (regular MIDI tracks). You might also look at MIDI Sol (soloist) and Mel (melodist) tabs. Or even the RealTracks tab as Gordon suggests to see all the integrated bands PGMusic has put together with a flute in the ensemble.

Incidentally, another trick(?) that might be handy, is that one can also search for the name of the musician who played one RealTrack and often can often find the same musician with the same instrument playing in a different style.

I am a friend of Patrick who posted this question and we have started our BIAB journey together trying to understand how we can use the software for creating backing tracks.
Thanks for the advice on finding the flute sound; we will take a look.
Patrick wants to include the sound of a flute playing a "melody line".
We are struggling to understand where in BIAB that is done. The flute obviously needs to play "notes" not chords. Where exactly can this be done in the software?
Thank you in advance for your help

Hi, Steve.
The steps to get to a flute melody track will differ depending on whether you want to write your own melody or use BiaB-generated melody tracks. You can enter a flute melody of your own with a MIDI track using a flute instrument patch. You can also modify one of the BiaB flute RealTracks using PlayableRealtracks. There are also BiaB MIDI tracks based on a flute. None of these are for flute "chords" as flutes don't play like that.
There are lots of folks here who use a LOT of MIDI, and they can provide more details than I can.
Welcome! Good to have a friend to share the learning experience with. You can make lots of new friends here, too.

I use BiaB for part of my backing track construction, if the style is appropriate for the song I'm doing.
I play sax, flute, wind synthesizer, guitar, bass, drums, and keyboards.
In my rack, I have many hundreds of synth voices, with sample based, fm, linear artthmetic, and physical modeling synthesizers. One of the hardest voices for me to emulate either using a keyboard MIDI controller or a wind MIDI controller is the flute.
The flute changes tone at every octave, and the breath noise component changes in intensity. I can get a good flute sound, but not a good flute performance with the gear I have. But thanfully, I have a "real" flute if I need one.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I've had a play with BIAB and I have now managed to create a BIAB generated flute melody to my selection of Chords Question can you create a melody "note by note" in BIAB without playing a flute or keyboard and importing as a midi file? Appologies if this is a stupid question, this software is massive and a big learing curve
