Yes, I know the ports and PPQ are addressed in RT however until RB has ALL of BiaB incorporated in it I will continue to my sequencer of choice.

PPQ is very important for timing so IMO the styles could be a lot better with higher PPQ. Subtle timing variations can make a huge difference with backing tracks.

Personally I don’t know of any home studio that doesn’t use multiple midi ports. Even if you use only soft synths you need to use multiple midi ports, especially in a recording mode.

PGMusic’s strategy is a good business model. Everyone wants more RTs so they make more RTs. Now don’t get me wrong; I use RTs a lot. They have saved me a lot of time as I have a number of clients who sing to them, i.e. using RTs is much faster than me playing all of the midi parts for the client. However I use more midi in my personal projects.

Even though we have a difference of opinion on this subject we both agree that PGMusic does produce fantastic products. I would venture to say many of use would not still be playing and/or singing if it weren’t for BiaB, PTPA and RB.

I phoned my wife and asked her if she wanted me to pickup fish and chips on the way home.
She just grunted.
She still regrets me naming the twins.
