Thanks Mac. Sweat, consternation and Melodyne it is then.

And thanks for the tips on 'zero velocity.' I'm sure it would have stumped me for a bit had I thrown those files in my DAW without looking carefully.

I submit there still is some midi compiling going on with he RT charts ... apparently using the chord information to transpose the charted passages to the proper scales for the key changes for any RT that has charts.

I also thought it was interesting when I read somewhere on the forum here that you get better results by simplifying the chord structures ... apparently letting the RTs 'stretch out,' as opposed to doing a lot of dinking and dunking with fast changes.

I'm still convinced there is a virtual sampler under the hood that takes the chordal and tempo info for a particular run of beats or bars in the same key signature, uses that to select the best matching file and then tempo and pitch shifts it accordingly ... a process continued until all the chords are addressed.

Longer passages, i.e., fewer chord changes, would let the player work the phrase ... since presumably every sample always starts playing from the beginning any time it is triggered. Time to brush up on my chord simplification substitution.

Time to take out the credit card.
