Prado,

The way notation charts for RealCharts works is that a MIDI chart is made of the original RealTrack raw recording. This was originally done by humans, one note or phrase at a time, then Pitch-to-MIDI programs were implemented, but still the need for human intervention to correct things here and there, sometimes more here than there (GRIN) as it is rather easy for fast passages and the like to overwhelm most of the available softwares that attempt to do that. Then along came Melodyne, which is hands down the best program at Audio-to-MIDI conversion.

To hear the "raw" realtrack file, simply look in the realtracks folders and play any one of the .wma or .wav realtracks file using the Media Player.

But the converters to do that do not reside inside BiaB. Just the painstakingly created original MIDI chart that corresponds to certain of the RealTracks. That's why not all of the RealTracks support MIDI notation - there are a goodly amount that were created *before* notation for RealTracks were added as a feature.

You should try exporting one of the Realtracks' MIDI notation and see how it plays in your DAW using your chosen synths.

First thing you will likely have to do is change all the note velocities to something other than zero in order to hear them. And don't expect them to sound exactly like the realtrack they are used to notate, there are likely plenty of places where note durations may be different from what was actually played (yet long enough to notate correctly) and other factors as well that may not make them desirable for use in performance.

That said, give it a try, you may discover something or some combination that sounds good and as Duke Ellington once quipped, "If it sounds good it IS good!"
