I think there are two tracks in the MIDI file (some notes are on Ch 8 and others on Ch 9). I have no idea why there are two channels. I did look for channel data suggesting lower and upper octaves, but this didn't follow a particular pattern. I understand that the MIDI data was recorded on a NORD piano2.

My understanding is that the MIDI file is only a piano recording, there are no other instruments involved.

If one heard horns, presumably this this is probably because one of those channels was set to horns on the MIDI device.

IIRC, BiaB treats MIDI data as MIDI Type 0 (everything on one track)

There are no patch changes in the MIDI data. If I set Ch 8 and 9 to a piano instrument in the sound device I get the full piano sound, no horns.

- If I use Coyote in RealBand I can adjust the volume with the slider.

- If I use Forte in RealBand I cannot adjust the volume with the slider.

- If I use Forte or Coyote or Ketron SD2 in BiaB I cannot adjust the volume. (The VU meter adjusts, but the output volume doesn't).

I don't think the problem is the MIDI file itself, but rather the way BiaB processes the MIDI data. It's just as though there is a bypass switch turned on.
