RE: Can I cheat and download midi files for single instruments instead of creating my own?

Hi, By all means go ahead. The problem will be with multi-track or channel midi files. Everything gets dumped onto 1 track in MusicMaker, as far as I can find, so multi-tracks with different instruments are not split into separate tracks.
