You and others are telling me to create our own Styles. Fine. We have the ability to do so. Just realize that you are asking/requiring us to spend time on nuts and bolts instead of creating music, which is why we got BIAB in the first place.




But the argument I keep hearing from the MIDI side of the fence is that it is PGMusic's responsibilty to keep creating the styles instead of creating music software, which is why they got in the business in the first place.

The styles are a creative component, one part of the bigger system. PGMusic has created the system, and also thousands of styles to work in the system. They have also made known the procedure for creating new styles, and even created about 3 different versions of style wizard.

Personally, I think it is in everybody's best interest if PGMusic keeps focusing on SYSTEM development, while letting 3rd party experts like Notes Norton and others focus on COMPONENT development.

But that's a point of perspective, and not everyone shares the same perspective.

The old MIDI standard is pretty much fully supported in the SYSTEM provided by PGMusic. But there is some proprietary development to MIDI... libraries that achieve phenomenal realism by extending the scope of existing MIDI attributes and samples. Once that technology is fully developed and becomes mainstream, I expect that PG will either license the technology or find a way to incorporate the best of the best into "the system"
