You can change rock, country, blues, and so many other styles into something else just by changing the instrument patch.

Notes, I was going to say the same thing but you did it for me and better than how I could have said it.

I have taken piano parts and turned them into vibes, guitar parts and turned them into strings etc and etc with MIDI. All I can add to your comments is that with MIDI you can change tempos with no audio artifacts. Also by changing tempos some of those jazz styles sound great in country or visa versa.

RTs are great and I do use them but MIDI is still my main workhorse.
