Here are some feature that hopefully should be added soon to the Plugin:

  • Host Transport Synced Preview allows preview of generated tracks in sync with DAW tracks.
  • Send audio through to DAW this also allows preview in situ and be able preview Direct Input Guitar Multiriffs live playing through Amplitube/Guitar Rig VST etc..
  • MultiRiffs have padding from bar -1 or bar 1 option this allows for easy drag n drop without having manually line them up to correct bar.
  • Send midi through to DAW allows preview through a Virtual Instrument.
  • Plays RT,RD,SMT and Style demos through DAW audio
  • Render track time improved Renders in same time as RealBand (king of the render speed) no midi to wav, no fx added to tracks, no master mix options.
  • Renders RT RD audio to DAW sample rate
  • VST Plugin helper app bbw4/5 will be 64 bit though no speed improvement as RealBand uses 32 bit helper app bbw2.
  • Render options to Normalize, Acidize, Set Mix To Dry Flat Center.
  • Avoid Transpositions in RealTracks less variation but better quality.
  • More than 255 bars like RealBand.
  • Audio Chord Wizard maybe ?

Very nice list. I would add the following:

. Open all 16 tracks. All DAWs can handle 16 tracks so why not make the VSTi versatile so can send 16 MIDI, RTs, RDs or any combination of them simultaneously to the DAW

. Allow drag and drop to be in the key signature of the DAW. In other words have 5/4, 6/8, 7/4 etc have the correct key signature when transferred.


Yeah, I've got O.C.D, Old, Cranky, and Dangerous.

It should do that with the Send midi through to DAW allows preview through a Virtual Instrument.
I thought you could click select the track to send, ctrl click for more, or have a solo button on each vst track.

With the key signatures you need to import a tempo map from the DAW into the VST or from the VST to the DAW.
With Reaper the VST can get that info with the Reaper's APIs GetTempoTimeSigMarker and can send the map from the vst to the DAW with SetTempoTimeSigMarker
It could also insert the chord names into Reaper's regions or markers and set them to verse chorus color, or copy the chords from Reaper into the VST.

But will BiaB VSTi allow me to put MIDI, RTs and/or RDs on the BiaB tracks dedicated for harmonies, MIDI guitar etc? OR are you saying the same thing as I am but in a different way?

Maybe it could have an option for MMR (MidiMultiRiffs).
As mentioned before maybe right click the track to re-channel it.
It would still work with the Standalone as you could set the default Midi Output Device to what you like, as well as the Audio Device.
Here's a couple of layouts:
