Bob is correct, to a point.

Depending on your synth and synth controller you can play phrases, chords, and plenty of nuances like pitch bend, volume changes, distortion, flutter tongue, legato, slurs, trills, mordents, sforzando, and so on. A good synth will change the tone of the instrument with the force played (most instruments getting brighter as they play louder). I have a sax patch that will actually allow the synth to change the vowel sound from ooh to aah the way a sax player does by changing the shape of his/her mouth.

A MIDI synth can get every bit as expressive as a live performer, but it will still be a synth creating the voice.

That's neither a plus or a minus. Some synths have great voices, others cheesy voices.

Some synths can respond to all 128 continuous controllers (those are the ones that allow the player to express nuances) and some only a limited number.

The question that comes to mind is why do you want to change a MIDI track into a Real Track anyway? It will sound the same using the synth as a real track as it did as a MIDI track.

MIDI and Audio are both useful tools, they both have their strong points and both have their weaknesses.
