All my styles were also made by a musician (me) playing in real time into a MIDI sequencer. I use keyboards, wind controller and drum controllers.

After recording many minutes of each instrument into a sequencer, snippets of those live recordings were imported into BiaB.

MIDI, like anything else musician requires a learning curve. But because it's easy to play without a learning curve by step-entering, a lot of people do it that way. The result is what gives MIDI a bad name.

It's like the drums. It's easy to hit the drums but it takes a lot of practice to be a drummer.

Well, it's even easier to get a note out of a synth using MIDI, so a lot more people attempt it.

To get good MIDI you need two things:
  1. A good musician to play the MIDI controller - in real time
  2. A good sounding software or hardware synthesizer

And the good musician is the most important of the two.
