Thanks Andrew and Jim.

I understand Melodist is a composing tool to generate chord progressions and melodies for the song. This is clear and easy.

But I'm still quite confused with Soloist.

As I checked the installation folder, for RealTracks, I have exe files named from 001 to 429.

But in addition, I have Soloist exe installers named from 2 to 20, plus two files named Andy, Jeff.

Q1 - What do these separate Soloist exe files install?

Q2 - Andrew said MultiRiffs and Partial Regen can only access to RealTracks.
Can I assume MultiRiffs and Partial Regen can not access/generate MIDIs and Super MIDIs?

Q3 - Is there a difference between,
(a) Generate a MIDI or Super MIDI solo using Soloist;
(b) Insert the same MIDI or Super MIDI to a track, then using full track regular gen and play?

Q4 - Andrew mentioned MIDI soloist 1 to 361. Can these MIDI be accessed using regular RealTrack picker, and then generated in a regular way?

Q5 - Jim mentioned database material constraints.
So, if I use MultiRiffs or Partial Regen, will there be any RealTrack material that I can not access, but only Soloist can?
If I use regular gen & play, will there be any MIDI material I can not access, but only Soloist can?

Q6 - Which tool gives the best result on day-to-day production work for generating electric guitar solos for rock/pop/ballad?
