I like to keep my sequencing and auto-accompaniment separate.

I use BiaB for auto accompaniment then export to MIDI

I use Master Tracks Pro for MIDI sequencing. It handles multiple MIDI ports so I can run all my sound modules on different MIDI ports (channels 1-16A, channels 1-16B, ... to ... channels 1-16P) without a MIDI patch bay. Plus it has the easiest interface I've used - everything is available from a drop down menu - no sub menus (YMMV). Note: The most recent version of MTPro is buggy, and has been for a long time. The new owners are not very responsive so I cannot recommend it. I'm still using the last version Passport produced.

Then I use PTPro to record Audio.

To me, when auto-accompaniment, sequencing, and audio recording get combined into one program, the menus get too large and there are too many sub menus and sub-sub menus which really slows my work down. Since I use auto-accompaniment, MIDI sequencing and audio recording at different times, it just seems to me that there is no need to combine the programs so that I'm slowed down by mousing a bunch of sub-menu choices. But of course, not everybody works like I do so I can see where many people would like them combined.
