BIAB has the most perfect functions. I confess. However, I also found a problem. The purpose of BIAB's perfect function is to complete a perfect accompaniment. In order to achieve a lot of convenience, BIAB has perfect functions. However, some functions can be achieved in other Daws. Therefore, I prefer bbvst In the future, more people will use bbvst and other daws to complete songs. About opening style, I think it is a basic function to facilitate bbvst operation. Bbvst should also have this function. This will make it easy to find and add styles. At least you should quickly find similar styles, generate different phrases, and then use Daw to cut, copy and paste, so you can quickly complete a style.
I tend to agree with MusicStudent's comments. The VST is not intended to be a whole BiaB produced as a plugin. Certain critical functionality is needed, and the VST should deliver that, but there will always be differences in the level of functionality provided between the VST and BiaB programs.

BIAB may need to click the dialog box 5 times to implement a change and add a new track. However, in Daw, you only need to click generate once and then drag. No matter how many functions BIAB has, I won't study it in depth, because my ultimate goal is not to study software, but to make music. I judge the future direction. BIAB prefers fast automatic accompaniment, people without Daw, or people practicing guitar or piano. BB VST prefers music production. So, back to my post question, I think these are the basic functions of style. This is just the most basic function to open style. If you don't join, you will waste a little time looking for it. If not, BIAB will not increase sales If you don't join, it won't make BIAB more popular. However, if you join, BB VST will be more convenient to operate, and BB VST will attract more people. Many people around me only pay attention to band in a box when they see that BIAB has VST. I am one of them
