Hi Tributeman
Mac's made some really good points. MIDI can sound bad for two reasons.

1: the MIDI data just doesn't cut it, sloppy, too rigid, un-natural, no expression where there should be, etc.
2: the synth that the MIDI is controlling has lousy sound samples.

Have a listen to some of these samples, all produced from MIDI data, and a decent synth.

Regards
Trevor
