Example: Connecting to Rax with Virtual Output
Here is an example of controlling the Rax realtime AudioUnit host (Rax can be
downloaded from http://www.grantedsw.com).
Connecting to Rax with Virtual Output
After setting Band-in-a-Box to transmit via “BIAB Virtual Output,” launch Rax and
open its Preferences dialog…
(The Rax Preferences window)
Rax will now receive MIDI from Band-in-a-Box. For testing purposes, you can select
the Apple DLS Music Device in the Rax Main Window.
Hint: The Apple DLS Music Device is an AudioUnit softsynth which has properties
very similar to the QuickTime Music Synthesizer.
Additional MusicDevice soft synthesizers are available from other manufacturers. If
you install additional third-party MusicDevice softsynths, they should show up in the
Rax track selector.
Virtual Ports can be used to “pipe” Band-in-a-Box playback into most CoreMIDI-
compatible sequencers and other MIDI
software
