Yeah ... what HE said! smile
You can USE MIDI, or create WITH MIDI, but there's no entity that exists as "A" MIDI. Like Don said ... it's a file. MIDI describes the file. It's not a thing on it's own.
(I know, I know - pet peeve of mine)
Carry on ...

I had used BIAB years back to generate lead sheets and to play along with to get certain tunes learned. Not sure why I never continued using it, but it’s a great program. I know from my conversations with Saxxman, he’s got a great handle on its’ use.

Hi,
I’ve had Biab from the day it became available . Don’t use it a great deal, but I have still kept it updated over the years.

The main difference in pricing is to do with the audio tracks and other add ons. The basic version only has a few. Depends whether you think you will use them.

For many years I didn’t bother with them, because I was only using the midi styles not the audio styles. I was creating user styles for my keyboards from biab styles.

For songs , the audio styles sound good, the midi styles are more basic.

Biab does have a soft synth sound source, but you can also midi your Pa4x to it and use Pa4x sounds for midi tracks

Best part, if it’s not for you, they have a 30 day money back, according to website.

The forum is very helpful , and pg are great to deal with.

If you're considering buying, it's worth waiting until late December when they usually offer a hefty discount. Somewhere in the neighbourhood of 40% off, I believe.

Aw ... thanks for the shout out! You knew I was messin' with ya, right?
My other pet peeve is the word "gig" ... seems to diminish the legitimacy of my craft. Sounds too casual to represent my commitment to the art of entertainment.
I know I'm in the minority on both topics, but hey - I'm an artist. We're weird in many ways.Enjoy BAIB. I've had it on my MAC for years.
