I understand it is a new feature. MIDI is a programming language that can be used for many things besides triggering sounds.

However, even before when you entered chords or imported a *.sgu or *.mgu file with midi data ... that data still must have been the front end 'trigger' to cause the compiling of the RealTracks. There's not a little man in the program who goes and gathers the data after each chord you enter.

If you look at the midi in the track at about 11:40 in the video you see that it looks like it's showing a lot more midi note data than simply chords you'd see in a chart.

There also seems to be notation windows that follow the RealTrack with the blinking red notes ... or in the fret board you can see double stops. That looks like a lot more than a chart.

RealTracks with an "N" in the Chart column of the Assign RealTracks to Track dialog can display notation showing the notes that are being played. Some Guitar RealTracks also show tab, and accurate on-screen fretboard guitar display to show what is being played on guitar.Most RealTracks display notation, i.e. RealCharts, showing the notes that are being played. To see which instruments have RealCharts, visit the Assign RealTracks to Track dialog and sort column 11, "Chart." Instruments with an "N" or "Gt" in this column have RealCharts.

- Instruments with "Gt" in the Chart column have RealCharts with accurate guitar tab and on-screen guitar fretboard display.

- If the instrument is Acoustic Piano and there is an "N" in the Chart column, the instrument has a Jazz piano RealChart.

- The various other instruments with an "N" (Pedal Steel, Slide Guitar, Resophonic, Trumpet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax) have RealCharts in standard notation.

The RealCharts can be saved to MIDI files or with Band-in-a-Box songs (MGU).

I don't know if MIDI has anything to do with the creation of the Real Tracks in a song but I am sure a man or gal is playing it.
