Dear Peter, although I understand the yellow MIDIs from the old styles (pre 2007 BiaB) are like expired milk that doesn't taste good to you, I sincerely ask you to leave them alone and not to remove them in the future BiaB updates.

As a professional virtual guitarist, I produce hundreds of commercial guitar solos each year.

One way was to use BiaB's new Playable RealTracks feature.

The other way, and also the main way, is to use the monophonic MIDIs from these old school yellow styles.

I don't care much about the performance quality, because I will have to edit then add my own articulations anyway, such as pitch bend, vibrato, slide, palm mute, whammy bar, etc.

But I do care about the quantity. Although the blue super MIDIs are better performance, the quantity is lower than the yellow ones.

Especially in my case, I can't use polyphonic MIDIs such as piano. I have to specifically search for monophonic MIDIs like guitar, violin, saxphone, horn, etc, in order to convert to a guitar solo later.

For yellow MIDIs, there are thousands of them. That gives me some options to choose from.

Peter, whatever you do, please never divorce these old yellow MIDIs.

They are like old pals to me. I'm emotionally attached.
