The first thing it would do would be to add up all of the weights. When Band-in-a-Box® has amassed the list of possible patterns, it then adds up the weights of all of these patterns, and then the chances that each pattern will be selected is based upon a percentage determined by the weight of the pattern divided by the total.įor example, if Band-in-a-Box® is finding a "normal" pattern for bar 3 of the song, and it has determined that these four patterns are the only possibilities: The weight is a number between 1 and 8 (there are special cases where you can use 0 or 9 which we will examine at the end of this section). Weight Every time that Band-in-a-Box® needs to find a RealDrums pattern to insert into a Band-in-a-Box® bar, it first finds all possible patterns that would fit (based on the type of pattern, the section definition, the mask and the length), and then it picks randomly from those patterns based on the weight assigned. A 9 weight means that any possible patterns that have a weight of 8 or less are completely eliminated as possibilities. When 9 is entered as a weight, the program treats it slightly differently. Weight (how often the pattern will be played). The seven elements are: 1) the text "pattern", 2) type of pattern, 3) section definition (A, B or all), 4) weight (how often the pattern will be played), 5) Mask (restrictions on where the pattern can be played), 6) duration of the pattern in bars, 7) the location of the pattern in the style wave file. You also can drag the drums wav file into Reaper, copy hits from the end of the track and add them to a fill or create your own fills, then save the wav file with a new name then change the name of the wav file in the drum txt file.Īll patterns are defined in the text file using lines of text containing seven elements, with each of the seven elements separated by a comma. Then edit that txt file to suite the fills you need. Rename the folder and txt file FunkRock^06-ClsdHtNoSn,OpHtSnFill You can copy an existing drum style folder and txt eg. Making RealDrums Styles with Band-in-a-Box® () You can get Biab to play the fills you want by editing the txt file in the drums folder. Let me know if there is any other way of doing it. Here is a thread with some tips on Biab drum fills. It was mentioned in a recent reaper forum thread that some programs do time stretch different even when using elastique, maybe that's why.
I noticed that Biab use the same time stretching elastique as Reaper does, but Biab can do massive time tempo stretching without any noticeable artifacts. And I can then easily render and export them to Reaper, in my tempo of choice.Įven though I could extract all the fills from the long sound file in the real drum map, they would then be at only one default tempo setting. That way I think they will use all fills. So I think the best way to extract all the drum fills, in tempos of choice, is to create a very long song in Biab with lots of A,B drum parts. Since they don't contain any notes like the other instruments which makes things much more complex. It would be easy for them to implement that feature for the real drums so we could pick any drum fill we want, This video shows A,B sections and drum parts, but can we change the actual fills? Some fills are great but I wish I could have direct access to them. They are all found in the real drums folder.
I've now started moving BiB parts to Reaper, to save my favorite drum parts, but I hope there is an easier way.
Is there a way to choose the specific fills that the real drums are playing? Some good tips and advice I learned in these SOS articles not mentioned in the manual. If some chords are changed or the song is re-rendered then it's impossible to have the tracks play it identical to how it was before.

So I'm learning this feature packed software and I've come to realize the importance of freezing and saving tracks as soon as something sounds good. Good examples of all the 300 available real tracks here for those who are interested. I tried it many years ago but I didn't like the midi sounds, but now with real tracks it sounds fantastic. It's pretty amazing the speed it allows us to experiment when composing songs or practicing. What an incredible composing tool BiB is.
