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.

I understand Joe. You're program is excellent at what it does, and improves with each release, so no sense messing with a good thing. Algo's can be made to work realistically with midi files, but there seems to be a ton of work involved. It has taken Soundtrek several years to integrate the two into their latest Jammer version, and they still don't quite have all the kinks worked out, though they are rapidly approaching it.
