Dr, Gannon,
I see an upgrade is available for Realtracks only (PlusPak-$99) but none for MIDISuperTracks only. Thus if one wants only the MIDISuperTracks one must buy the UltraPlusPak, which includes all the RTs. My question is why isn't there a MIDI only PlusPak? This could be a download only with the docs in a PDF file. I know that would be the upgrade that I not only would buy but one that I could afford this year.

Thanx in advance for your time.

I was just thinking that the super Midi tracks are a perfect candidate for a standalone product! There are still plenty of people who prefer MIDI, and the high quality of the Super Midi tracks totally qualifies them to have their own unique spot on the shelf!

This sounds sensible to me, Mario. There are many here who concentrate on MIDI, with which BIAB can do amazing things.

Mario,
That is a great idea. We will get on that.


Have Fun!

It's a shame that you didn't get onto it a little earlier following Mario's wishlist request earlier this year:

http://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=359518#Post359518

I purchased the PlusPak this year in the mistaken belief I was getting all the upgrades and that the only difference between that and the UltraPlusPak was the external hard drive. (I've accumulated so many of those I don't need any more!)

Now I find I have 200 more real tracks I will rarely, if ever, use and have missed out on what I really wanted, the new MIDI Supertracks.

Richard,

Keep in mind the 30-day money-back promise that PG Music make. If what you purchased does not do the job, simply contact PG Music staff. They will help you sort it out.

Over the years, I've been incredibly impressed by PG Music's customer service. I've never seen them take advantage of anyone. Quite the contrary. They are very generous.

Regards,
Noel

Thank you Noel,
I am well aware of PG Music's money back policy. I first purchased BIAB in the mid 1990s and have been upgrading almost every year (and mid-year when available) since then. I am more than happy with the program and have no intention of seeking a refund.

The point I was making was that, in the thread I quoted, Alyssa from PG Music replied that the suggestion was an "excellent" idea and that she would pass it on to marketing. Now, months later, Peter Gannon agrees it is a "great idea".

I would have been happy to forego the 200 realtracks and still pay the $US99 just for the MIDI Supertracks. I purchased the Bonus 49-Pak just for the MIDI Supertracks it contained.

I am sorry if I gave the impression that I thought I was being taken advantage of. That is certainly not how I feel. Like you I have a very high regard for PG Music and its customer service.

Regards,

+1 For some more Midi Super tracks. Maybe even a Mid-Year Midi Pak. Might be good to use with future XTRA Style Paks (would certainly expand the possibilities).

ps. I love many of the Realtracks/Realdrums but also like to incorporate midi, find it gives you lot's of options (particularly if you have quality vst's)
