Digitech Trio utilizes a (more or less) simple algorithm to figure out the chord structure of what you're playing. Then it adds an instrumental accompaniment of some sort. This instrumentals are powered by PGMusic's Band in a Box. In short: Digitech Trio is a very small scale BIAB.

The full program offers a lot more switches and knobs for you to play with. This makes it much more versatile and at the same time increases the degree of difficulty for the user.

Digitech Trio gives fast and easy success, BIAB gives you the (overall) better results, since you are in control.


Just like: If you buy a mashed potato mix you can make mashed potatoes, with a little tweak you even get duchesse potatoes and croquettes. But you will never get hash browns, french fries, or just a regular baked potato.

While you can use raw potatoes and prepare mashed potatoes this is never as fast and easy as using a mashed potato mix. But you are in control of the ingredients.
