I will check – I am assuming that the midi file should include the CC64 data, correct? In the meantime, I see that others have had problems with sustain data in the EZKeys files working properly – have these been resolved?

Great idea – thanks!!

I agree with everything you said. I don’t think I would use these chord progressions on their own. My thought was to maybe run them through Band in a Box to try and get some interesting playing in the progressions, and then try to slice them up. Although there are many many midi files on the internet, I have found it difficult to find some that are easy to isolate into grooves because of the factors you mention. I will pick up the expansion pack, but am hoping that there is more variety in the playing in the songs provided than there is in the midi included with EZKeys.

I am aware of those, and will likely pick them up (although I read here, I think, that this expansion only includes about 25% of the midi patterns that come with EZ Keys).  Any other sources online that somebody could recommend

For example, I am thinking about this:  http://www.prosonic-studios.com/Midi-Progressions-Details.aspx?lngCollectionID=76.  Perhaps I could buy this, try to find some solo piano accompaniment styles in BIAB to create interesting piano-like phrases from these progressions, and then import the midi files generated by BIAB to EZKeys.  I was hoping, though, that this is what EZKeys would be able to do for me.  I guess my issue is that as a non-piano player I was hoping for some more variety in the actual playing of the chords.
