Very well put Bob. GM and BiaB go hand in hand and I hope that never changes. However PGMusic could do a little more to make GM sound a little better by using non-quantized backing tracks, much like what they call SuperMidiTracks, which are really just non-quantized tracks.

But as you said to get a more realistic sounding emulation you will need a much better sound source than GM and a little MIDI control knowledge.

YMMV


I just posted a selfie and all of the responses were get well soon!

I was in the middle of replying when I had the brainstorm to try a Google search about humanizing midi files and voila! This thread came up from 2013. Google can be better than searching the forum itself:

https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=189387

Our friend Mac has some great answers in this thread. Peter gave a couple of great responses too and Notes Norton who is a master in working with midi has some detailed responses as well. There's a lot of gold nuggets in there and it's one of the best threads ever about this topic. If someone's really interested they should reread this several times until they understand what is being said here.

I have to give a little background about Mac. He's a pianist, trumpet player and guitarist. All at a studio session player level. He's also an Electrical Engineer. He suddenly stopped posting with no explanation and is sorely missed.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
