Ambient music is very easy to create. The trick is to have an endless generator feeding a filter of sorts that determines the sparsity of the ambient and non-ambient components. BIAB styles should be ideal because they allow for control of harmony (e.g. underlying emotion) in ways that algorithms can’t.
BiaB styles are neither endless nor generative. Any particular style has a fixed number of options it can choose from when presented with a chord of a particular duration. It's basically automated loops.

That's not to say that BiaB doesn't have generative features. For example, the Melodist feature will generate harmony and melody for various styles. I have no idea how it works, but I suspect that it uses a fixed number of canned phrases that can be adapted to the chord progression.

But I can't imagine anyone willingly listening to Melodist songs over an extended period of time.

Perhaps I just don't understand your use case.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?
