Hi Ray, maybe you understand this now but just to clarify, the Real Drums are full recordings of a real drummer playing phrases. What you're asking would apply to drum samples. With a sampler you can assign individual midi drum hits to individual drum samples and thereby "convert" a midi drum track to audio. RD's are not like that. The program doesn't slice a RD track down to individual drum hits. I think the smallest division is one bar, midi has nothing to do with it. Think of listening to your favorite band on a CD and set up your player to loop just one bar. That's what a Real Drum track is except the one bar is just one of the possibilities, the program can use up to 8 bars from the RD track according to your settings in Biab or Real Band. This is why on the one hand RD's sound totally real like you have Terry Clarke in the studio with you until you get to a part of the song that has certain specific punches or other song specific drum parts. For those specific parts you can't somehow program a RD track to play those, RD's are prerecorded so what you hear is what you got. You have to use a midi drum track playing through a high quality drum sound module to play those parts. Using good samples it can usually blend in quite well with the basic RD track. I have Jamstix for that and one of the JS kits is called Yamaha Studio Drums and they sound almost exactly like a lot of the RD's probably because those RD's were recorded using Yamaha kits.
