I played with looking at possible options or work around for this after seeing comments earlier today wondering if using bar settings where you can choose different RealTrack instruments at various measures throughout a chorus.

When using this feature, the whole track regenerated for both instruments.

During different trials, I received yellow alerts that referred to the style may not work with my selection and another that reminded me that velocity and panning of RealTracks were based on settings of the underlying midi track. I modified a midi style with StyleMaker making changes to volume levels and panning, naming and saving the modified settings as a new style.

With that information I attempted to get a partial regeneration of a track using this midi style.

I was able to regenerate an instrument between specific bar selections by selecting a different style that used the same instrument, but with a different RT#.

For example:
I created an 8 bar chorus with no repeats
I chose a 12/8 country slow ballad w/ a Pedal Steel #369
I generated my song.
I pretended that bar 5&6 were not what I wanted
Using F5, I chose a similar 12/8 country ballad with a different pedal steel #697
At bar bar 7, using F5, I selected the original style to finish the song.
(these may not be the specific RT #'s because I don't recall exactly what they were at this moment)

The regenerated bars did not retain the modified volume and panning changes.

This achieved a regeneration but there was also a volume level difference.


In my experiments, if I froze a track, making a style change as described above, the style change was ignored.

I also tried to experiment on different tracks with Supermidi tracks but ran into issues with the melody and soloist tracks not regenerating. I was able to export a track as a wav file, import that and use F5 to mute/unmute between the regenerated Supermidi and the wav file.

It appears to me any success with generating a portion of a RT in BIAB will be dependent on modifying the underlying midi file or since Supermidi generates similar to RT's, using a Supermidi for the bars to be regenerated.
