00 I agree with most of your ideas. What I would add or change is to have all 16 MIDI channels open for the user. That way we could add more strings, guitar etc to the mix. Make all 16 channels open for either MIDI or RTs.

I would also add going to 64 bit at the same time.

I would not merge BiaB and RB into one product. I would have two products; one with the enhancements to BiaB and another with RB added to the enhanced BiaB. YMMV.

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.

64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
