1) Using the V B  softare MIDI files can be played back seeing exactly which intruments are playing on each track and enabling you to mute  tracks youd like to play yourself  following  the solo part you wish - So if a flute player playing back a mozart flute and string quartet piece , you could mute the flute part and play along with the string quartet --- really fun ..not only that but also control the tempo and SLOW down for practise with metronome controls

using other software on the forum here[ you could print out the solo art from the same midi file

KEYBOARDS DIGITAL PIANOS

2) These you just load into V B  player and watch the black and white keys of his virtual piano light up as the music plays

Download V B  virtual keyboard Player / midi search software and playback music sequencer Click on  the download_vanbasco_casioSMF.doc document file attached at the green background on this post.

 The Pic below  is Raindrops playing ( see the left and right hands as two seperate notes, at different parts in the song. Isnt that great ! Your own Virtual keyboard, even without the casio lighting. The only advanatage ( which yes is great ) of the lighting keyboards is that they actaully stop and wait for you to play the note before moving on if you set them to. But still Van Basco did those with normal keyboards a big favour , as well as pianists.

Here is a picture of a moment in time as the raindrops.mid file attached below plays through Van Bascos Virtual keyboard

WHERE ELSE CAN ACCESS MIDI  FILES ESPECIALLY SUITED TO MY INSTRUMENT ON THE NET ?

To download songs from the internet -- there are some sites Ive collected for purchasers ( ALL INSTRUMENTS) [iurl=http://ezmusic4u.com/smf/index.php/topic,128.0.html]here whose sites are far better than others ( in other words the midi files are arranged properly on track 4 and 3 midi in format 0 and not to many other tracks going at once  like many free band midis which will light up the keyboards too much playing all 16 tracks at once sometimes   ..and one can download free  midi songs with the software van basco below too -- but again the free midi songs on net are rarely suitable  except classical piano pieces easy to play so unless youre a more advanced musican  ( not many beginner ones are arranged for free though )   and the free band ones are not the best to try and play or convert to step lessons as they have too many tracks going simultaneously.
