There are NO controllers including velocity, sustain, volume or anything else. These transcriptions are ONLY there to create a Real Chart so a user can read the notation and see what the performer played. That's it and is a classic example of not all midi files are what you think they are.

I get all that. And for a Horn or Guitar or Cello that makes perfect sense. State of the technology and all. But for a piano??? Could they not just as easily had the artist sitting or a midi piano keyboard? Would that not have crated exactly the same performance RT's and simultaneously created the corresponding midi - with all the controller data nuances captured simultaneously? If the answer to this question is - Dan, you still don't get it. Than you are correct, I don't get it.
