OK. After reading the long conversation between Rustyspoon and Musocity, let me try to understand what they were talking about in this thread.

Musocity is a fan of RapidComposer, while Rustyspoon is a fan of vArranger.

Both software are doing the same thing, allowing a user to enter chord progression, then generate a melody or a solo in the MIDI format.

They work very much like Soloist and Melodist in BiaB, except for that everything is based on MIDI.

Both software use the same source MIDI material. A user can download thousands of source MIDI files from Yamaha's website, for free.

I haven't had a chance to dig deeper into these auto composing software, but am I right?
