Remember that RealTracks are pre-recorded audio passages, not MIDI. If the performer didn't record anything on that beat position, there's nothing to play back.

Thanks again AudioTrack.
I'm still trying to understand the basic concepts of BIAB and audio,

I listen to a style and like it. In this case it's mostly long held chords for each bar.
How do you and I know that the musician who recorded the style didn't ALSO record a bunch of other stuff during their recording session that's there to be called upon if necessary? Perhaps consisting of syncopated stuff?
Starting on beat 4 or beat 1& etc. etc. etc.?

I don't understand how you can say "Oh the micro chords can only be played IF the main chords occur here and there". That totally baffles me.
Unless someone from PG Music tells me otherwise, I'd think that a micro chord can chop up anything that the musician recorded at their session. So it can take a long held chord and chop it up into pieces.
Or are you also saying that micro chords can only be played if the musician recorded 'x' number of micro chords?
That's a heck of a lot of micro chords to record!
Every main chord they recorded and then chopped up, sliced and diced. smile
