Without MIDI Key and Tempo, RTs would be like canned loops from the 90s (just prerecorded audio)

Plus without MIDI there would be no Kontakt, GM sounds etc. so eventually it becomes something new to learn, just depends on your starting point and path to learning music
Some of us old users learned MIDI first, I suppose some very new users may not have learned it yet, but it is definitely not 'killing MIDI' by taking advantage of it


Indeed. Many of the early DAWs including Cakewalk started life as Midi sequencers before they added audio capabilities.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
