Hi Kris,

Amaj7 (omit 5) does not exist as a BIAB chord. Normally one would simply enter Amaj7.

Regards,
Noel

Hi Kris. When playing keyboard I often omit 5s in the left hand, especially when the is melody line is playing around the 5, #5, and b5. So your chord would be a good thing to have.

Noel is right - no can do.

FYI, if you have a keyboard hooked up, BIAB has a great feature from which you can learn what chord "it" thinks various make. When in the chord view play a chord on the keyboard, hit Ctrl-Enter, and BIAB will enter the (last) chord you played in the chord view cell. So play A C# E G#, hit Ctrl-Enter, and it enters AM7. Play A C# G#, and it enters, umm, AM7. Point is you can see what chord BIAB thinks you played.

If you are using RealTracks then Noel is right. But if you are working with MIDI you can. When you are finished working on the song go to each track's piano roll view, delete the Es on the AMaj7 no 5 chords then freeze the track. It's a work around but it does work if you are using MIDI.

Thanks for replies,
They were very helpful.

I still have 2010 Band in a Box version, do you guys know if chord builder is still the same in 2015?

That chord builder finder that I showed in a picture from jamplay is amazing.
It would be great if Band in a Box had something similar.

I might be wrong but I do not recall any relevant change from 2010 in the chords that are supported. There are a few changes involving Dim chords and add2, but that doesn't apply to your question.
