Hi PhillyJazz,
Thanks for the Bandlab link.

Even though it has loops for various genres, it seems to be aimed at the Electronic Dance Music crowd in terms of the sonic quality of the instruments and so on. For "sonic" read "MIDI".

Still, it is somewhat interesting.

Very, very different from Sonar.
