Thanks Pipeline. I watched your video maybe 10 times :-) So I gather it is a plug in with lots of loops to install in BIAB styles much like BIAB does now. Not too much of what I hoped for would be on the fly.

Maybe PgMusic will be watching what I describe here (A summary of what I hoped to find).

Short version:
Ability to create one or more acid loops containing all or part of the melody such that everything the midi melody track can do can also be done with these real instrument loops.

Long version:
Ability to play all or part of the melody in an acid loop before the chorus and also all or part of the melody during the chorus. And also the ability to play all or part of the melody during a 2 bar or 4 bar ending again as an acid loop. The ability to play all or part of the melody during a tag ending after the chorus. Ability to mute them all (preferably on the melody track itself). Having the ability for the melody to be inside a style during the count in would be great. Lastly the ability of course to change the number of choruses on the fly exactly like BIAB can do now and if the melody is inside the chorus the ability to have it only play during the first and last chorus as it does now. So obviously in many cases parts of the melody would need to be saved to individual acid loops and drawn into BIAB when ever the marker calls for it within a custom saved style. I could see times when 4 different markers (indicating 4 different styles for 4 different melody snippets) would be needed (count in, intro, chorus, ending).

I think that sums it up :-) I suspect it could be years to get this. In some ways that is a good thing. It will force me to practice the melodies harder for jams just in case the person who initiated the new songs does not show up :-)
