Not quite that simple. While these RT's do have midi associated with them, it is generally a transcription and not completely accurate. But more important - this midi cannot be used to feed a midi synth since it is missing the cc's that make it musical. That is why we ask for the Midi Super tracks (I see these have been coined MST's).

But of course Pat, you know this.

BIAB is very complex - hence all this forum activity. grin

well.. I'll respectfully partially agree. As transcriptions, the MIDI doesn't contain the nuances you'd get if it was captured from a performance. Compared to the quality of a super MIDI track (which DOES have all of the nuances in the MIDI) the real charts fall short. But they CAN definitely be sent to a synth. And you can also use PIANO ROLL to edit CCs. Not all patches are as affected by lack of CCs as others. It has been my experience when downloading GM files from the web that it isn't uncommon for DL MIDI to be totally lacking in CC nuance... yet they play

And given John's intended use for the MIDI (to experiment and understand how all this works) it was an appropriate response.
