The audio chord wizard is designed to convert audio to chords. MIDI just requires converting to audio and then the ACW tries to guess.

If you have MIDI, in Realband you can just open the chords window, then right-click and select a MIDI chord wizard option.

Much faster, more accurate, and more likely to put a smile on your face.
The key (of course) is to have the Tempo right so the chords work as expected. Any decent MIDI file will be set to correct Tempo, but if you experience chord weirdness that's one of the first places to look.

The MIDI wizard uses the notes in the MIDI file (reliable data)
The ACW depends on MIDI to first be converted to audio then the ACW guesstimates take place. It is better for use when you have to start with audio .. but if you are starting with MIDI the other MIDI Chord Wizard option is better IMHO.
