As I've mentioned:
"2) Generate unique stems in a list. Click to listen / choose" - A group of non-repeat stems to choose from.

Kind of / sort of. If you are doing partial regen by selecting bars at Chord View it does a rough cut partial regen. Try going to Audio View and see how the phrase was formed and make selection with a wider range. I found that this technique, while having it's own set of issues (which I will describe later) produces more natural phrasing.

Unfortunately, not many people are even aware of Partial Regeneration. To me, it was a game changer.
