Roger,
I had actually made this a separate "wish" request in the past particularly for feedback from people who make things happen. Some transparency would not hurt smile

About the MIDI part... I had repeated my request several times for more mixer tracks to be used for Real Tracks or MIDI. Number 16 sounds lovely to me. Meaning you have 16 channels in the mixer instead of 7 and you use it as you see fit. You can have them all as MIDI or you can have them all as Real Tracks, or mix and match. Plain and simple - User friendly.
NO WORKAROUNDS
