The core competitiveness of BIAB products is a large number of RealTracks
In fact, in addition to a large number of RealTracks, there is also a "Chord progression content"

Chord progressions can make a lot of RealTrack work.

Some people would say that a lot of music patterns have chord progressions in them. There are ways to read those chord progressions. However, when I open them up, I find that a lot of them are not the same as the common chord progressions.

I wonder if BIAB can just release a chord package of commonly used chord progressions without launching any new features.

For example, all in C major/A minor.

It contains . C-G/B-Am-C/G-F-Em-Dm-G
And some variants C-E-Am-G-F-C/E-Dm-G

Starting from IV. For example, F-Em-Am-C, F-E7-Am7-Gm-C... Fmaj7-E7-Am7-D7-D7sus4....

I mean, you can see a lot of commonly used chord progressions when you open it. I wonder if this can be added to the wish list?

I'm having trouble understanding what you are asking for. Doesn't the MultiPicker Chord Progression Builder tab fulfill this suggestion?

Why not just build a collection that you like and pase them in.
You have your own preferences and could grow that from, e.g., this Wikipedia page ot this Berklee.

To try to make a comprehensive set that goes a great deal further would probably quickly take one into the realm of mathematical permutations and some very large numbers.

Maybe this will help



Note you can get a free listing of many chord progressions.

I believe you want to have something like this incorporated in BiaB but maybe this will help expand your information of chord progressions.

Personally I don't want preprogrammed chord progressions in BiaB BUT if it is an option I will give it a +1 as it may help some users. I like to try different chords in BiaB, I think that is one of the best features in BiaB, i.e. try a couple of chords and see how they sound together. YMMV


When you are at the checkout line and they ask if you found everything say "Why, are you hiding stuff?"

Thanks for the replies. I should organize some of my favorite chord progressions into MIDI, text records, BIAB files, etc.
