can basic midi files that are available on the web be imported into BIAB successfully or do you have to play everything into the program. IT would take a hugh library of songs to pull off what I am suggesting.

I am thinking of a small midi controller that would have a few buttons mapped out and a fader for volume. the songs would be selected ahead of time on the computer and the pastor or whomever would know the order. the controller would have buttons labled repeat chorus, repeat verse, end , etc.

something real simple to enable a start up church or small church to have music available without musicians or in some cases where a live band creates more strife than one can stand to get away from all that. I uses to play in a praise band and ended up leaving because of the the bad problems and bad sound from lack of practice. in many cases it is just too hard to get a consistant sound. people don't show up. thing like that. ever tried doing P&W without a drummer or a bass player, yuck..

CD tracks don't give any hand to flow of the worship. you have to be able to keep it going if people are worshiping. something has got to give in this area and I would like to ring a technology solution to the table. maybe somebody is already doing this. I have not seen it out there.

I repaired a BAldwin keyboard the otehr day that a particular music store had programed with midi tracks and I gotta tell you, it sounded real good. I know some great players that could lay down some killer tracks but this would have to be available to many customers if it would pan out. way too much work to do on a onesy twosy basis. comments always welcome.
