MIDI files while gigging, is that a big NO NO, or do you occasionally use them?

If you want play all yourself don't use a keyboard

The keyboard plays 90 % of the song
Styles are made of midi files cut in pieces
When you play the pieces are made to a song
What is the use off that ?
Only a pianist in front off a public plays life
Better start from scratch
Start with only the drums more like a metronoom to keep track
Record all other tracks one by one

Well it depends how you create a style what I do create all styles from scratch using style creator so basically i played every single part of the song from bass ,pads, solo parts everything then quantizing ans correcting CASM
So styles are made of midi is not always correct
A performer has two options either create from scratch or start from as midi file--- I Always start from scratch and then listening to an mp3 slow it it down so i can hear properly the song.
Even though when a performer starts from scratch you will get some moments that you have to try and try again to make it right .

Yesterday I uploaded enjoy the silence a style which i created and took me several hours but I'm really happy about the results and even some other of my Subscribers who are enjoy my style.

Thanks very much and wish you a happy merry Xmas to you all
