Your points are very true Notes but I have to say I am a big fan of auto arranger keyboards. They're not for mediocre players though. They all have that basic "one finger" option for raw beginners but if you're not a pretty good pianist you're not going to get close to the great demo's you see all over the web. My Pa1XPro is the first of the PA Pro series and the Pa3x is out now and it is in a word fantastic. I want one in the worst way. Only $3,699. Even though we're both right in that the style elements are fixed those elements are really, really good. They were performed and recorded by some very good players. And then there's the sound engine. Killer. If money was no object I'd snap one up right now but I have to stay true to my mantra that when gigs are only worth $100 or so around here any purchase has to pay for itself so I never buy stuff like this new and it's still too new to find any good used deals. And besides nobody but me or you could tell the difference between my Pa1x and the new Pa3x. Mine is still pretty darn good. I use it for duo and trio gigs without a drummer and then for band work I have my Kurzweil PC3. Another great keyboard.

I found myself harkening back to a time when editing midi files with sequencer software, note for note, with multiple tracks, was a basic modus operandi for building song files, or backing tracks. God forbid that anyone would have to resort to copy editing note for note, by hand, accomplishing the same notation for readers. I digress on the distracting topic of what seems too much detail to have to manage... For the original poster - find a BIAB midi style that's close to the end style you need, with particular attention to a few critical key instrumental tracks, that sound great as is; assemble your preferred ensemble of instruments; input chords; generate a midi song file; save it; open it up in Real band or BIAB, or your preferred sequencer software product, and edit the tracks that need attention, and viola! Midi song file, or backing tracks. Isn't this how many of you used to customize song files for use? Now with Real Tracks and other audio editing software that enable editing of both wave based tracks, as well as midi tracks, all can be combined, though you need to know your way around audio file editing or loop editing software products, that have the editing features for midi tracks you want to combine... And, dare I suggest, I think you can do it all in BIAB... Amazing product...!
