They play back at double the tempo -  half notes in tracks 1 and 2 if
entered the same way in tracks 3 and 4 play back as half the value of 
tracks
1 and 2.
Sometimes there is a rather loud glitch or pop when you begin to play an
example.
Otherwise, the program works very well."

Don,
Which platform are you using?  MIDI Builder was written using Rev. 
1.1.1 on Mac OS X, but in my tests on Mac OS 9, Windows 98 and Windows 
2000 I did not encounter any of the aforementioned problems.
Try this simple test:
With all the default settings, play 4 middle C quarter notes on track 
one,  switch to track 2 and play 4 E quarter notes, switch to track 3 
and play 4 G quarter notes, and finally switch to track 4 and  play 4 
Bb quarter notes.  You should hear 4 C7 chords as quarter notes. (I 
just tried this test on Mac OS X 10.2.4, QT 6.1, Rev. 1.1.1 with 
expected results).

Please make sure that the version of MIDI Builder you are testing is 
"020915".

Also, I have not tested it with the latest pre-beta versions of 
Revolution, but I will make sure that it works properly with the final 
release of Rev 2.0.
You can also contact me off-list if you would like.
