Hi Bob, I can understand what you mean and I agree with you to use Biab songs while practicing. But I like to explain why I post this topic.

I play piano and jazz guitar on a reasonable level for fun not for living. I use Biab since they start to use RealTracks. Before the CVP-705 I had a CLP-240 together with a Roland BK7-M backing module for playing styles. The Roland was also able to play MP3 and WAV audio songs. But my wish was have everything in one instrument. So I purchased the CVP-705.

I love the RealTracks but boring when you play them over and over in the same song. I made several versions of a song with different RT styles so I could change a bit. But by using midi songs I can change the voices and drum kit on the CVP-705 just having one song version.

I expected it was easy to create a Biab song with midi styles and save them as midi to use with the CVP-705. After it appears that the drum kit voices of Yamaha are not the same as GM created by Biab I started the topic on this forum, in my opinion about a Biab functionality.

I was impressed about the replies, particularly by Mike. And I think there are more member on this forum who are interested in this midi matter. If not you don't have to read this topic at all.

I am still busy with Mike's solution. Thank you all.
