I personally i just think the task and man-resources of bringing BIAB Mac into the 2020 century are so onerous - as the continual bugginess of tis product proves - YET...... this tech is so amazing and more so in its future potential that its time the PG owners seriously consider selling the tech to Yamaha. And put it under the wing of the Steinberg team.

The sale should be contingent on Yamaha putting a serious investment into a new developer team which can really take the product forward - and rethink the GUI - and more to the point - integrate BIAB as a VST3 into the Cubase and DAW ecosystem.

Imagine if a BIAB VST3 plugin ( maybe with a server back end into a new version of BIAB ) for MIDI styles could use any instrument in HALION Sonic SE ( or even full sonic )

Imagine if the power of BIAB was combined with the back catalog of Yamaha PG and Genos/Tyros styles and sounds - merged into a new style format.

PG Music could then become the supper of purely style content.

And RealBand and PowerTracks of course would be ditched - and instead an upgrade/side grade deal to a Cubase of some sort could be built into the transition.

BIAB needs new blood developer wise. Clearly - with the archaic old code from Atari days still in there its time for something new.

And YAMAHA has shown good form in handling its acquisitions over the decades. Both Sternberg and Line 6 have flourished.
