Vquestor, is this about detuning individual notes, like the two notes per octave that are detuned half a semitone in Arabic scales?

Frank, the difference between 1-128 and 0-127 doesn't exist. In MIDI there is only 0 to 127. If notes or patches are numbered 1 - 128 that's just because it's common human practice to start with number one and not with zero as computers do. But whenever you see things numbered as 1-128 in the lists of keyboards and software, the actual corresponding MIDI messages always are 0 to 127.

A.J., I remember our discussions about a combination of MIDI and algo styles very well. I built in a note generator in OMB to produce all kinds of mathematical computed sequences. But the result didn't sound very musical! The only thing that is left of all my experiments is the random velocity and controller waves. That does add a little variety, makes the accompaniment a bit more live because the repeated loop will never be exactly the same. So there is no combination of MIDI and algo in version 5, but there is a combination of MIDI and Wave audio instead. You can rip a drumloop from a CD and insert the .wav file in the style as an event.

What you also can do is make a style in Jammer. Make a MIDI file of it. Paste the MIDI file in a style in OMB. I did this with BIAB styles. It is true that the loops will be repeated in exact the same way over and over. But in OMB you can make the loops very long. In 256 MB PC memory you can store a lot of MIDI.
