One day, I decided to do that very thing.... convert a really nice real track piano into midi so I could use a different synth to play the piano sounding better than the real track had rendered it.

Great plan right?

I thought so..... so I embarked on the transformation. The midi track was completed and I dragged it over to my DAW and inserted a nice piano synth and hit play.

GAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! it had been converted alright..... but is didn't even come close to the notes and playing style that was in the original real track..... it sounded like a hum drum generic midi track.....

nope..... didn't work for me like I wanted.
