Yes, a great idea for composing and arranging, to use MIDI only while developing.

In the old days (2008) when RealDrums then RealTracks were introduced, it took quite awhile for songs to regenerate. Using only MIDI for the early stages made even more sense then. It’s not bad now. Reminds me of early computer programs I would write, and I would drop off a deck of punched cards. The operator would say, come back next Tuesday. Now, compilers run almost instantaneously on a personal computer.
