On the don't mention MIDI thing...
A lot of people have this program pegged as a MIDI accompaniment program, old school. I would think that if you mention MIDI they are all going to jump on that bandwagon and stereotype the program again. So i would stay quiet (IMO).
Maybe one of those Qr Code black and white boxes, that you can get your mobile to link to, that takes you straight to a video demoing the impressive real tracks in Band in a Box. PG do these well.
The 21st century types use their mobiles for this sort of idea

Z My thoughts exactly! If I mentioned MIDI at all it would be as a "but wait, there's more! It also does MIDI so, in addition to the RealTracks provided, you can use your high quality sample libraries, blah, blah, blah!"

I will respectfully disagree with you.
As I previously stated MIDI is widely used but as an ad I would emphasize RTs but also include MIDI. YMMV
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

The people reading Electronic Musician where the ad was placed are heavily into MIDI, not so much GENERAL MIDI. Huge difference. Huge huge difference. Not mentioning midi capabilities would be a crime, my opinion.
The readers of Electronic Musician, however are probably not going to pay any attention to that advertisement nor the text behind the ad.
Electronic Musician in my opinion, is aimed at indie rock and electronic dance music. You might get some attention from the indie rock folks, but the EDM folks, zero.
Put the ad in American Songwriter, where you have people composing and need the backing band, and magic might happen there.

Just a personal humorous (to me anyway) observation here but to me the irony in this conversation overwhelms the subject matter. Example, everyone of us who are trying to show Peter a "better way" i.e., new and improved attractive ad with better copy to sell his products have:
#1. Already bought them
#2. Love them
#3. On a daily basis recommend them to others
PS: Tongue planted firmly in cheek.
Later,
So, I can already play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and Little Brown Jug on my shiny new saxophone...The Music Lessons Worked! No need to take any more!!! I am happy you learned those songs, they always gave me trouble. Later,

I know this a little off the topic of the old style look of BIAB, but I thought it looks pretty good on the booth at PG Music at Musikmesse.
