Noel, my main point was that the "slash" note SEEMS to me to be affecting more than the bass line/track in BIAB. On guitar, for example, an open C fully strummed or arpeggiated will have an E on top. Changing that E to G doesn't change the chord, or even the inversion, but it does change the voicing. What I exampled assumed a close triad. When you have three notes and they are within a fifth of each other, moving one to the bottom by default moves the other two up the ladder.

Not all (thankfully) guitar chords and arpeggios in RT's are simple open voicings. What I "think" I may hear is a tendency to call up (in BIAB RT's) voicings that are affected by the new root (if it's a chord tone) to pull up a voicing of the associated inversion. In other words, the geetar is playing C first or second inversion. You'd have to listen to the track without a "bass-line" to hear it clearly (at least I would), but I've done that and it seems to me to be doing that at the point when the new chord is entered.

That doesn't by itself guarantee that any particular note in a triad will be on top, but multi-riff it and see if it happens often enough or more often than not.

At least often enough for me to have noticed...and that's assuming my ear is good enough to know what I'm hearing--not always a safe bet.

I might well be wrong, and probably am. I have no idea at all how deliberate or random the choices of which section of a real track the program uses to deliver the goodies for that bar or group of bars. I don't know how real tracks are played by the pros hired to play. I don't know if any of this is "covered" in the possible grouping of phrases available. I don't know much at all. I just kinda know what I think I may be hearing.

Maybe none of that is useful to the OP. I just thought it was worth bringing up.
