This opens up an interesting discussion, is a remixed MIDI file an original creation? Or is it simply a copied work with the rights belonging to the original author? Is it piracy? What do you think?"

Will it not play my hardware synths? Or my midi-fied real piano?

What use is a sequencer that won't play my instruments?
