Yep but Toontracks midi is proprietary to their instruments. That is you have to buy the piano http://www.toontrack.com/products.asp?item=125
To use the midi backing tracks. Plus it’s one instrument at a time purchase and thus far there are a limited number of instruments. But they are competition to PGMusic and the piano does sound very good. I have not purchased it and I probably will not as I am very happy with BiaB’s latest midi improvements.

They are no way close to what BiaB does however their midi is not quantized. BiaB’s supermidi tracks are not quantized either. I hope BiaB comes out with a lot more unquantized supermidi tracks. They are the future for the midi side of BiaB. Off course nothing other than possibly cutting and pasting loops comes close to RTs.

Yep, software and hardware instrument sounds have come a long way in the last 20 or so years. I listen to some of my old TX81 acoustic instrument’s emulation and say “Wow, and I thought that was great back then”! But that old TX81 does have some really nice bass, bells and synth sounds that I occasionally use.


Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
