No problem with disagreement at all, Mario.

I just wanted to point out that right now, all you pretty much get is "note-on, note-off" with the MIDI implementation. Only by embellishing that (at least within the GM domain) are you going to get better sounds. Not great, but better. That means using some combination of CC's, different sound sources, maybe DXi/VSTi effects, etc. Probably not very portable, but would work for "your" setup.

I also don't want to get to the point where I have to tweak every single note - sort of takes away the purpose of "auto accompaniment" and quick song creation, at least as far as BIAB is concerned.

But just like BIAB embellisher lets you embellish based on certain criteria, it's a whole song, melody track only approach. It would be nice to be able to highlight some bars, specify the track(s), and just embellish that section (with some additional options than currently provided).

That's all I was getting at. Ideas to make MIDI sound less mechanical. For the discerning ear, I don't think MIDI will ever sound real.

My $0.02 worth (losing value every day)
