Hi Scott,
basically Real Band is a sequencer. What sets it apart though, is that it also utilizes BIAB style tracks , midi & audio.

Just say you have a midifile. You're not overly impressed with the drum track. You can " generate" a brand new drum track using one of the BIAB Real Drum audio tracks ( if there's one suitable) or you could use one of the drum tracks from any of the BIAB styles.
Not only that, but you can also replace the bass, or the guitar, piano etc. again with Real tracks or with BIAB midi track styles.

It uses the Chord Track as reference for transposing the notes in these tracks (like BIAB).
If your midifile doesn't have chords, Real Band comes up with it's own chords.

You can record a complete song in Real Band using either All BIAB style tracks or you can record your own tracks as well.

It generates these style tracks just the same way as BIAB does. You actually have more control than you do in BIAB, because you can choose which bars get regenerated.
Just say your bass track sounds ok except for bars 3 & 4. You just hilight bars 3 to 4, choose generate, & only those 2 bars get regenerated.

Anyway , enough prattling. If you get a chance, check Real Band out. It's got some new functions also. Just keeps getting better.

best wishes
Rikki
