I wonder how many users in the forum actually spent time watching the two YouTube videos posted by Rustyspoon in this thread.

For those of you who didn't watch, just so you know, Rustyspoon wasn't lying about the importance of the yellow MIDI stems.

There are four types of media in Biab.

Real - Green
Audio - Orange
Super - Blue
Legacy - Yellow

In BiaB 2022, there was a new feature released called "All Tracks are Equal". This feature makes Utility Tracks equally functional as the Style Tracks.

If all tracks can be equal, why can't all MIDIs be equal too?

I think for PG, the easist way is to make the "Select Custom MIDI" dialogue box non-modal. Non-modal means the dialogue box is floating, so user can still click other parts of the interface without having to close this dialogue box first.

If PG wants to go above and beyond, they can make a new dialogue box called "Select Legacy MIDI". Exactly the same as Super MIDI picker, but only list yellow MIDI stems to be selected from.

Hope to see this request come true in BiaB 2025.
