BiaB styles were all MIDI for years. Real Tracks are pretty new. They sounded revolutionary when they first came out.

Just curious - What is it about what you do that makes you want MIDI? Are there enough MIDI styles now to suit your needs? Do you think that more MIDI supertracks is going to be useful for you?

I use just-MIDI for one of my BiaB setups: My synth/keyboard has its own laptop, and there I only use MIDI because all this setup does is drive the keyboard. This setup is for playalong, singing, and keyboard practice.

.


When I have an idea pretty well firmed up, moving the tracks into a DAW as MIDI gives the greatest flexibility for further refinement of the arrangement; different instruments/variations, etc.

In the end, very little if any of the original BiaB material will still exist without being heavily modified.

I'm not against RealTracks. I would just hate to see the MIDI side get abandoned. As it is already, a fresh install is very RealTracks focused as the default.

As far as whether or not there is already enough MIDI goes, I'll let you know. The question does make me curious though. How much of anything is "enough"?

From what I've seen so far, it will take a while to get bored with what's already included (Mega).
