Hi I just found this by accident, I've been trying to migrate everything away from Windows and BIAB is one of the points of blockage. The version marked 339...
Have just downloaded the impro-visor and am quite excited. However, I'm wondering why the latin accompaignment is the way it is, in particular the piano style....
... Ole, Thanks for your comments. The latin style is admittedly deficient and indeed the comping should be changed. I think that 'latin' was our first...
Bob - Thanks for being here to answer these things! There are a couple of questions I'd like to ask. 1) Is it possible to export a midi file out of Impro-visor...
... I have created a new "latin" style that will replace the existing one in the next release. While not perfect, it has more variety than the existing one....
Bob - Thanks for your replies. I'm new to this so forgive me if I haven't looked closely enough at the tutorial. Incidentally, I've noticed that the Generator...
Thanks, Bob. I'm enjoying Impro-Visor. It comes up with some neat licks. I've also solved the other queries too. Well done for your hard work. Â ... From:...
Lydian is the default scale for M7?! This reminds me of a conversation with Conrad: "I always used to wonder why the George Russel cohorts always sounded like ...
Others will know more than I do but I believe there is limited integration although if you can save things in midi you might be able to import a song.? BIG UPS...
... Mike, You might intend "interoperability" rather than "integration". It is nearly impossible to integrate with a closed proprietary product such as BIAB....
John - Generally the 'correct' scale to use over a major-type chord when it's not the tonic is the lydian. For example, an FM7 in the key of C would be played...
Well Keller beat me to my question concerning input of a MIDI file. Can I therefore assume that melodies can not be imputted via MIDI keyboard as well. (I...
... Melodies can be input from a MIDI keyboard in real-time using the Record feature (red button on the left side of the toolbar). However, if using a...
Hullo. You must use C major scale over a CMaj chord IF it is the FIRST degree in C major key OR you must use a Gmaj scale over a Cmaj chord IF this chord is...
... In jazz lore, the 4th of the major scale is called the "avoid note" over a major or major 7th chord. There doesn't seem to be much disagreement that a...
... I do not use BIAB but have been using Jammer Pro for a long time. I have recently posted on that mailing list on this issue of interoperability. MusicXML...
... Yes, I know; this is why it can sound 'wrong' to play #4 on *all* M7 chords. It might sound interesting to play Lydian on chord one occasionally, but if...
Bob Thanks for you reply. I largely agree with your summary. I think we also need to remember that a 'passing' #4 in a solo is not as impactful as voicing it...
... John, Thanks. Opinions are always welcome. I am probably in agreement with you, that there are "too many" #4's generated over typical major harmony, when...
You're doubtless right in what you say but let's remember this is a machine! It's a computer program, not a person. It has to function within certain...
The reason Midi became so widely adopted was because somebody (Dave Smith) was willing to do all the work and provide the source code for his implementation to...
... I don't know how the grammar works, but is it completely random or do various color tones gets inserted with different weight probability? I've only been...
... The grammar controls the sequencing of note categories (chord tones, color tones, approach tones, scale tones) and the duration of these notes. There are...
... Some variant on this seems feasible and I will look at it for a future release. I think I would tend toward a relative multiplier (which could be 0) for...
I just downloaded the program and was wondering if there is a way to remove the piano from the rhythm section, so that my piano students can play along with...
I found when installing the program using Windows XP, I had a few problems. Here are the solutions for users who may run into similar issues: I found that the...
