Band-in-a-Box/RealBand automation scripts

Some Python code to have fun with Band-in-a-Box and RealBand on Windows.

This code was used to generate the Groove2Groove MIDI Dataset. The general procedure used to generate the data is described in our paper [pdf]:

@article{groove2groove,
  author={Ond\v{r}ej C\'{i}fka and Umut \c{S}im\c{s}ekli and Ga\"{e}l Richard},
  title={{Groove2Groove}: One-Shot Music Style Transfer with Supervision from Synthetic Data},
  journal={IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing},
  publisher={IEEE},
  year={2020},
  volume={28},
  pages={2638--2650},
  doi={10.1109/TASLP.2020.3019642},
  url={https://doi.org/10.1109/TASLP.2020.3019642}
}

Scripts included:

  • bb_abc2sgu.py – convert ABC files to BIAB (*.SGU) files
  • bb_change_substyle.py – change the substyle of BIAB files from A to B (or vice versa)
  • rb_render.py – render BIAB files as MIDI (or any other supported format) using RealBand
  • fix_rb_midi.py – fix a RealBand-generated MIDI file by adding missing program change events and skipping invalid events (does not require BIAB and works on any OS)
