Hello and Welcome!

You have certainly made the right decision in buying BiaB. But it is not meant to be a MIDI player. It is quite specialized as a creator of music, not so much a player.

To play MIDI files, go to Realband. I believe it comes free with the Everything Pak. It might seem like more work to learn another program, but many BiaB users use both programs together. In my case, I usually start creating a song in BiaB. When I have the melody, chords and structure the way I want it, I save the song in Real Band. There I work out the details of individual parts, like which VSTs and effects I will use. I edit the notation sometimes and create new parts that BiaB does not do, like, say, another percussion track.

BiaB comes with lots of songs to experiment with. FInd the "50SONGS" folder in your C:BB folder. In the stylepicker, try all the demo songs that come with each of the styles.

I am sure you will have lots more questions. You will find that people on this board are most friendly and helpful.
