[B]JOHN C Downloading the midi files then changing the instrument sounds to 7K sounds
begs the question in my mind, why bother to download midi at all?

Like Larry, I too prefer the 7K sounds..

Elizabeth, My only reason for downloading a midi file is there are parts in almost every song that are unique to that song. In a song like Misty the melody and great chords made the song popular. Try sequencing “In the Mood” with all the original backgrounds sounds. And, the drums are not lost in repetition, they are played with breaks and fills fitting that song.

I enjoy creating a midi file without any outside help, when it is done it is my creation. But if you are playing out, jobs, gigs, the closer you can get to the original arrangement the more it is accepted. We had a man on this forum that created midi files that were so original, his name escapes me now. When he told me that he was living in a beautiful open country area and he had his KN7 at his side I thought, “A dream”. I think his last name was Colin.
