Yes, Ray, I'm using RealTrack Bass and Drums more and more in my live jazz gigging folders, but I still take my Ketron SD2 to the gig because I have lots of older jazz songfile folders that are all or at least part MIDI.

And certain things can only be done using MIDI bass and drums...

The obligatory MIDI sleighbells at xmastime, open and closed triangles in some of the newer smoothjazz things, stuff like that keeps me using MIDI as well as the Real Instruments in BIAB.

Of course, the better sounding the MIDI synth available, the better this tends to work. I've even kludged together some BIAB songfiles that contain both RealDrums AND MIDI drums in the same song by moving MIDI drums to the Soloist track. RealDrums typically provide the kit while the MIDI drums provide the virtual percussionist, adding bongos, congas, etc.
