This is Biab Win/Mac using MiniHost with RapidComposer VSTi Full and Ample Bass VSTi with over 700 Riffs. RapidComposer now has a new added feature that allows you to convert a midi file with keyswitches into a Relative form Phrase with the keyswitches for the VSTi, this allows you to place the phrases over any key/scale/chord. Trial Basses http://www.amplesound.net/en/download.asp# Ample Bass Upright(Trial) v2.51 | Mac | Win Ample Bass Precission(Trial) v2.51 | Mac | Win
Drag the Yellow Audio cable up or Down to tweak the volume in MiniHost.
If you don't have the Full RapidComposer version you can have two separate phrases, one with the keyswitches that stays as Absolute and another, the actual notes that are converted to Relative form. **Remove the String keyswitches at the very top of the midi file, as they won't work because you are changing the Phrases across chords/keys/scales. Keep the keyswitches for the notes on the same notes across the chord track under the midi notes Phrases it belongs to. Download the Video if it's not clear in the player.

Video: Enhanced Melodists in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows®!
We've enhanced the Melodists feature included in Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows!
Access the Melodist feature by pressing F7 in the program to open the new MultiPicker Library and locate the [Melodist] tab.
You can now generate a melody on any track in the program - very handy! Plus, you select how much of the melody you want generated - specify a range, or apply it to the whole track.
This new panel offers built-in specific support for the Reaper® DAW API allowing direct transfer of Band-in-a-Box® files to/from Reaper® tracks!
When you run the Plugin from Reaper®, there is a panel to set the following options:
-BB Track(s) to send: This allows you to select the Plugin tracks that will be sent Reaper.
-Destination Reaper Track: This lets you select the destination Reaper track to receive media content from the Plugin.
-At Bar: You can select a bar in Reaper where the Plugin tracks should be placed.
-Start Below Selected Track: This allows you to place the Plugin tracks below the destination Reaper track.
-Overwrite Reaper Track: You can overwrite previous content on the destination Reaper track.
-Move to Project Folder: With this option, you can move the Plugin tracks to the Reaper project folder.
-Send Reaper Instructions Enable this option to send the Reaper Instructions instead of rendering audio tracks, which is faster.
-Render Audio & Instructions: Enable this option to generate audio files and the Reaper instructions.
-Send Tracks After Generating: This allows the Plugin to automatically send tracks to Reaper after generating.
-Send Audio for MIDI Track: Enable this option to send rendered audio for MIDI tracks.
-Send RealCharts with Audio: If this option is enabled, Enable this option to send RealCharts with audio.
