I totally agree with what you are saying.

What I get in 99% of the midi songs are terrible sounding guitar parts. Sometimes the sound is as bad as a Kazoo and sometimes its as good as an accordion. Never do they sound anything like guitars and I know guitars.

If it wasn't for the pitch bends I could reassign the guitar patches to great sounding pianos or organs. Something I need besides terrible guitar sounds. In those songs without pitch bends I have some truly kick [*****] B3 sounds, ditto on pianos, or even horns. I own about five of the IK Amplitude products, but I have never learned how to use them. They sound great on the web.
In the long run that would be the ticket, but I think my brain is booked until at least November. Right now, I just need an on/off button to push.

I found the "wheel" setting button in BiaB, but it does not seem to work like I expected. I am thinking it is designed for the recording mode, not to take the bends out of something already completed. I haven't looked into RB yet.

As for those manufacturers reinventing the wheel, I am not impressed. I spent over a month trying to find a work around to make my songs and my friend's Yamaha songs recognize each other. I have come to the conclusion that Yamaha is only compatible with Yamaha and I would guess Roland is only compatible with Roland. Unlike days gone by, keyboard players have to decide early on what brands they want to use for the rest of their lives. IMHO as a guitar player. Ditto on Steinberger.
