If you look at UJAM Virtual Bassist & Virtual Drummer they are real playing but also have an instrument mode where the instruments the the session players used playing/phrases were sampled, this allows the users to not only have the real playing of real instruments but can also play the same instrument with GM midi to add custom solo/melody sections. Creating sample sets for RealTracks/Drums will also cover 'any' RealTrack chords for shots, holds or strum patterns that will fit in perfectly with the rest of the RealTrack/Drum playing and give the user total control.

Agreed. This would be fantastic and quite helpful.
Just being able to use a sampled version of a drumkit would allow us to add fills or pickups that are exactly what we want or need in a certain part of the song.
It would be a lot of work For PGMusic to build decent sampled instruments from each RealTrack and RealDrum track, but it would sure be a useful addition.
PG Music samples of RealTrack/RealDrum instruments opens up the potential to a bunch of options that greatly expands how the capabilities of RealBand and Band-in-a-Box.
As an example, let's say a song specific acoustic guitar riff is needed in a project. If a acoustic guitar solo is used within the song then samples of the solo RealTrack and MIDI could be used to construct the riff.
Playable RealDrums You can now customize the RealDrums performance by adding your own notes. You will then hear those notes using a MIDI sound created from the RealDrums recording. This means you can get the RealDrums to play the notes you want at key parts of the performance, either augmenting or replacing what the RealDrums is playing, for any sections in the song. This includes full drum kits in GM note number format. You can enter the notes in the Notation (using drum notation) or the Piano Roll window.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
