This is tricky to explain because part of it concerns PG's "secret sauce".

You have midi styles and RT styles. BUT the RT styles really are not styles at all because there is no underlying style information that forces certain chord voicings or rhythms like the midi styles do. This causes a ton of confusion. A RT style is really nothing more than a collection of RT's that happen to fit a certain genre of music but that's it. A midi style has lots of midi information in it that can make it actually sound song specific. A great example of that is the "Herbie" midi style that has the actual piano figure from Canteloupe Island in it. You can open up that style in the Stylemaker and change that figure if you wanted to. No such ability exists with the RT "styles" because they're really not styles at all. As you mentioned you do understand that the RT's are fixed audio files and they can't be changed by underlying style information.

That takes us to midi info that is associated with an RT. All that is is someone manually transcribed the note information from the audio file the old fashioned way by simply listening to it and entering the notes into a midi notation program by hand. Unless the recording was made on a midi controller. This is part of the secret sauce. I have no idea if PG will record the midi info from the controller as well as the audio and then use that midi info for a Real Chart. Normally the human transcribed midi info is just the notes only, no controller info. They only use the notes so you can see what was played as a chart in the Notation part of Biab or RB. That's all the midi info is used for. You can extract that midi note information and play it back as midi by assigning a synth to it as usual but it has the volume set at zero so you won't hear anything until you go in and set the CC7 or CC11 levels.

Anyway, another long explanation that says it doesn't matter if that synth part was played on a synth keyboard or not. The RT is an audio file like any other RT and if there is any underlying midi note info that has nothing to do with your issue. The synth that was used could be a Prophet or Korg or Roland and has all kinds of internal stuff going on like envelopes, filters, portamento, expression but that has nothing to do with this. All that sound is part of the audio RT. But as far as midi all PG uses is the basic notes themselves so you can see the notation. There is no separate complete midi file of that part and even if there was it won't sound anything like the RT unless you have that same synth sitting in your house to play it through.
