So once Tonalic has analyzed a riff from a guitar, it can pitch shift it another set of notes pretty easily. That means you don't need the lick repeated in every key for it to sound good. And not only can the pitches be shifted, but the entire timing can be modified. And you don't need as much recorded material.

Also, riffs are pretty malleable. So unlike instrument solos - like those in BiaB - Tonalic focuses on material that can be much more generic.

I suspect that Tonalic could work with solo instruments like BiaB, but it makes sense for them to focus on this type of material first, and perhaps exclusively.
You're getting close with that description.
It currently only has acoustic and electric guitars right down to the make and model, banjos, mandolins, other plucked instruments as well as acoustic drums and percussion instruments.

I'm sure overtime they will add piano and different keyboards.
Is at this time primarily a live simulation of a rhythm player in your song.
