>>> Many of the older MIDI styles are step-entered and/or quantized.
>>> There is a difference between MIDI done right and MIDI done not-so-right.

Not sure whose "older MIDI styles" you are referring to, and what "not-so-right" you are referring to, but if it is our styles, then, no, they weren't step entered.

I don't know of anyone who step-enters instrument parts. The exception is drums, which can either by step entered or live drums entered (we do both). From our experience, most drum styles sound better step entered (ie live recording from keyboard sounds worse, unless quantized). Other parts (bass, pianos, guitar, strings etc.) are always played in live.


Have Fun!
