Thanks everyone for your helpful replies! I will continue to experiment with Biab, along the lines like Mac mentioned, of looking at Biab as a new instrument within itself and I am simply learning how to "play it". I think a good idea would be to experiment with one feature a little at a time and simply take a slow, measured approach, and have fun with it.

John - Here's a great youtube example of musette, Graham Wilson playing (as some of the posts above mentioned)
Musette Style (Je peux bien imaginer "bel-lle jun-nee fiyyeue", avec un fort accent du midi!)

On his web page, Graham says he uses Biab, all MIDI, then exports to Sonar and tweaks as needed. I think the backgrounds he creates are fine. Good stuff. I'm inspired to continue on. Thank you again.
