As Jim mentioned, both the BIAB Plug-in and RealBand lack much of the Stand-alone version's functionality.

In another thread of the Forum, I posted two attachments of a PG Music MultiStyle Demo, one version playing the Demo generated by BIAB and the second, generated by RealBand. The RealBand version loads the style demo SGU perfectly and uses the base style instruments, Chords, tempo and key. Beyond that, RealBand ignores all of the additional editing and internal programming that staff developers built into that MultiStyle and reverts all of the custom Part Markers to normal A and B style Part Markers.

My BIAB 2021 has nearly 1,000 MultiStyles included in the StylePicker. Opening any of those styles in RealBand negates the MultiStyle feature and the style is recognized and plays as a normal style. There is a radical difference between the two samples of the demo.

Here's a link to my post and the attachments if you want to hear the difference.

There are many other features and tools similar to this example with many of them being Midi based tools that the BIAB Plug-in and RealBand lack the full functionality of BIAB.
