But the 1880's was such a creative musical decade, that new revolutionary parlor pump organ was a real game changer...

Seriously, just my opinion, that market is completely locked up by Ableton Live. Everybody and I mean every pro and wannabe modern music producer uses Ableton and barely knows Biab exists. Biab has it's niche and I completely agree that old classic jazz, blues, country, folk etc niche will start dying out but the overall music scene is vast. That niche could still be viable 20 or 30 years from now.

To try to have Biab compete with Ableton with EDM, modern pop and hip hop with the completely computer generated looped and chopped up samples sounds like a losing proposition to me.

There are YT vids that show exactly how some big name producers create their stuff. I like to watch some of that because of questions like this. How can Biab become a part of that and right now I don't see how that can happen. Charlie makes good points but I don't think he's really checked out that scene either. Ableton is literally the king, queen and Caesar of modern top 40 music. Hard to compete with that.
