While BiaB is a wonderful product and while it does tons of things that a sequencer or DAW cannot do, there are also things they can but BiaB can't do (yet). There is no other tool like BiaB and it is one of the 3 essential tools I believe every computer musician should have: (1) MIDI sequencer / DAW (2) Band-in-a-Box (3) Music notation program. Having these 3 apps will cover just about anything you want to do.

I prefer to keep BiaB and my DAW separate, but I think I'm a minority in that respect. Fortunately there are enough tools around so we can adapt the process to our personal way of working. If you load a type 0 into most sequencers, it will split the MIDI channels for you. Then all you have to do is save as a type 1. I have no use for type 0 anymore, although I used to use it when I fed floppy disks into a hardware sequence player. (I'm glad technology eliminated the need for that). Insights and incites by Notes.

Opened the MIDI 0 file and it placed every instrument on separate tracks. Cool.
