To expand on what I wrote just now -
take for example NI's ACTION and EMOTIVE STRINGS libraries for Kontakt.
These use many recorded string motifs. Melodic and choral *patterns* - rather than single note samples.
And in many ways this is just a half way house towards the kind of thing BIAB could do.
Sure - ACTION and EMOTIVE strings are designed to be "played" - chiefly by the NI KOMPLETE range of controllers, LEDs etc etc.. or change chord/key types by means of special MIDI note combination - but really - when analysed - these are just loops. And BIAB generated Realtracks are just a more sophisticated "AI" style generation of audio files derived from very long audio source recordings, cut into form that conforms to the chord progression specified up-front by the user.
I think provided PG and BIAB offer a way to go in and edit the generated track once generated to more accurately match what the composer wishes ( the generated realtracks in BIAB often don't work for pros - chief niggle for me for example being jazz double bass parts - which aren't put together like a real jazz bassist would do it )
then the BIAB plugin will become a really powerful workflow productivity tool for the stressed and over-pressurised working composer. And when not used in finished produce - can for sure be a source of inspiration in the way so many current libraries serve as just that- a spark to inspire - if not be in the final version passed on to some director or post-production house.
