This question has come up many times. If a midi file were to go onto the individual Biab instrument tracks, what's the point of Biab generating it's parts on those same instrument tracks? Isn't that the numero uno reason for Biab's existence? It creates parts for you, it's not a simple midi file player except for putting a file on the melody track.

This is one of the primary reasons for the creation of Real Band. Real Band combines the full midi capabilities of Power Tracks with most Biab functions. It will separate a type 1 midi file onto separate tracks with one mouse click. It will also separate a complete midi drum track onto separate tracks with another single mouse click. I did that once using a complex latin drum track that included full percussion in addition to the basic drums. Holy crap, it was something like 12-15 tracks. Just the drums alone took up the whole track view. But this is a big deal for those like me who have a good drum plugin like Jamstix. To have complete control over individual drum kit parts with percussion like that is lots of fun. Once I had my sound and mix of different elements of the drums I recombined them into 3 or 4 tracks.

RB is the midi monster here not Biab. Those who know more about this than I do have said that RB is one of the best and easiest to use midi editors out there which is one more reason why I keep telling people they should learn RB at the same time they're learning Biab. It's a shame so many seem to think that RB is some kind of weak sister that PG just "throws in" with Biab.
