Yes thanks!

But is there no way to get the piano roll capabilities in rb in biab?

Ive been fooling with midi drums and bass and Im finding it really easy to get the fills and runs that i need, even though they dont sound as good as RT's.

I guess its a matter of content control and with midi ,I can get exactly what I want in my songs. With RTs, I can only use and adapt to whats given. I cant manipulate RTs to get 100% control.

Does biab have full midi editing like RB?



Short answer, no. Over the years people have asked for this or that capability in Biab like multiple midi out ports so you can use more than one midi synth, more editing and stuff like that. PG decided to answer all those questions by creating Real Band rather than expanding Biab. It combines a full DAW with most of the Biab song generating functions. This is why I'm constantly saying RB is the way to go in a lot of cases if you're into more advanced midi/audio recording and editing. Biab is primarily for entering chords and voila!, here's your arrangement. That's it. Yes, it can do more, they did add an editible melody and soloist track but that's nothing like a full blown DAW with tons of tracks and capabilities including 16 midi output ports. I would not call Biab a DAW, it's it's own thing, unique in the world of computer music.
