In addition to the previous mentioned reasons here are a few more:

1- With MIDI you can change the tempo without adding artifacts to the sound. One can go from 10 BPM to 300 BPM and the sound will sound the same and only the tempo will change.

2- You can change any chord into another in MIDI. If you want an Am7b5#9 you can either play it or write it. All chords are possible in MIDI

3-You can change the length and/or pitch of any chord or note in MIDI.

4- You can add or delete vibrato with MIDI

5- Using filters you can change a sound while it it playing in MIDI. This is great for programing sweeps.

6- You can have each drum on a separate track. This each track can be modified,i.e. different effects on each track, write/play your own fills, etc. (This may be possible with RTs in BiaB 2022, don't know....yet)

In other words MIDI has a lot of advantages going for it. However it takes a few bucks to get good MIDI sounds and a learning curve to achieve good emulations.

RTs have their place but so does MIDI.

Just my thoughts.

It was the best game of Hungry Hippos I've ever seen!
