Plays only midi = No VST support and no audio file support but put your VSTi in your favorit host and connect via virtual midi cable like midiYoke way you go....

Hi,
of these programs you guys have discussed, which one's allow you to type in chords into the arrangement, like copy and paste F#m into the grid for example, the same way Band in a Box does?
I love this feature in BIAB, but I dislike the complexity of everything else involved. I just want to type in chord names, have it play in piano, and export it as midi to use in DAW. Which other program does this?

I use Chord Pad (chord sequencer) for jamming and creating quick backing tracks or practice:

I have Chordpulse, http://www.chordpulse.com/ though Chord Pad looks very interesting and more flexible.

I prefer Cognitone Synfire. Has everything one could ever need and can give you some really convincing results.
It's a tiny bit more expensive, though.

For more satisfactory results, let me suggest using BIAB as a parts generator without confining yourself too much to the styles. I routinely mix and match individual instrument parts from different styles. I might start out listening to whole mixes in BIAB for inspiration. But once I find something that approximates what I'm looking for, I audition individual parts (like a bass track) from other styles.
I convert parts to MIDI (usually several more than I end up using) to bring into Sonar for arranging and manipulating. So I don't get much in the weeds in trying to get BIAB to do what I want. In Sonar, I might cut and splice 3-4 MIDI tracks from BIAB to construct my bass track, for example.
When listening to parts in BIAB, I often try to imagine different instrumentation options, for example, converting the piano track into a synth track. I've also created many new styles using their MIDI-to-style feature. Doesn't always work well, but overall it's been really helpful. I have over 2,500 different BIAB styles to draw from. For the created styles, I try to avoid concerns about possible copyright infringement by using only fragments of styles (like a guitar track converted to synth in Sonar).
Given I have so little time to play around in my home studio, BIAB has been invaluable in shortening the time involved in creating music. And by not confining myself to the specific mixes it generates, I've been able to get results that at least I'm happy with. Hope this is helpful.
