Hi!

I started composing electronic music with FL Studio back in the 90s and since I'm not a performer, I really appreciated the visual facilities to enter and edit patterns: the piano roll editor and the step sequencer. What became annoying was that when I wanted to experiment with different chord progressions I had to manually edit all my patterns. So I started searching for an alternative and that's when I first discovered BIAB. I was a student at the time so I had no money nor decent MIDI sounds so I didn't really grasp what BIAB could do for me.

Years later (mid 2000s) my situation had changed: I was working full time and had a decent studio setup. That's when I rediscovered BIAB. I love that BIAB comes with TONS of STYs and RealTracks! Creating arrangements has never been more convenient! It's a truly innovative, brilliant, remarkable and just awesome piece of software. And somehow every year it keeps getting better and better! I'm hooked! smile

Now that I work with BIAB Mac, I wish I could create and edit my own STY patterns as easily as I was creating and editing patterns in FL Studio: i.e. the ability to enter patterns with user friendly tools "such as a Piano Roll Editor and a Step Sequencer. Also the ability to import or drag & drop parts or patterns from existing MIDI files. I would pay extra for this! smile

Thanks for listening!

Have you considered something like Myriad's software (Harmony Assistant - http://www.myriad-online.com), which can export midi entered data to .sty format? It sounds like that kind of a tool would be just your thing.
I like your drag'n-drop idea though, it would be nice if we didn't need to look elsewhere for this sort of thing.


Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!
