Yup, just like a keyboard works, all that good multiple MIDI note data get sent to the same channel, along with pitchbend and a whole bunch of other good stuff.

If I were you I'd do my melody recording and editing in Garageband, much easier to work in than BIAB (at the moment).

Hopefully BIAB 2010 for mac will have the same MIDI sequencing capabilities as the Windoze version (or better ), but for now I'd send everything over to GB, and then do your melody there. Much easier to edit notes in GB's piano roll editor, than moving MIDI notes around in BIAB. Trust me I've tried.

If you are just starting out with a guitar-MIDI controller, you may be spending a fair amount of time working on cleaning up your playing technique, ease of editing notes is going to be a sanity saver. You'll be moving a lot of notes around (at least for a while).

When I started with MIDI guitar a bunch of years ago, it really exposed a lot of sloppy playing techniques that I'd developed over the years. Playing the MIDI rig has actually helped my playing a lot (even though I still suck at guitar ).

Hopefully this helps.
