To send the Plugin's Midi track to VSTi's in your DAW
In Preferences > DAW Settings > Send Midi Data to DAW > Always
look at what the midi channel it is on
create a new track in DAW and set VSTi
drag the Route from BB Plugin track to new track
disable Audio, enable Midi channel same as BB Plugin midi track channel

Can this also be done for the chord track as well?

The button by the C7 with play the midi chords out to the VSTSynthFont or a midi channel.
The easiest way is drag the C7 to an empty track, this will output on ch10 as it has tick-in before the block chords.
You can also generate up a "Held" piano midi track.

Yeah, regarding the first method, the only thing is that it won't update and I will have to redrag (not a huge issue, tbh) and the held piano MIDI track (which is what I've used for these purposes for nearly half a decade prior to them implementing the MIDI chord track) is that it is not as precise.

All that said, I'm absolutely thrilled with the improvements they made to the plugin this year--now I'm just waiting for them to publish some proper comprehensive documentation...

Amen to that!!!
It's been quite a while since I used this because it just was not working right for me and now things are changed quite a bit. It is definitely due for a new tutorial.

Ideally as a seperate document rather than as a part of the big BiaB manual.

I have yet still to explore the plug-in properly, but it does look like it's progressed well.

Personally, I would prefer it as text so I can always refer back to the places I need. Also, text documents need to be updated, whereas videos cumulate and sometimes add, sometimes supersede, and you can never be quite sure which is when.

I vote for both text and video. I like to start with video then have the text as reference material. YMMV
