Very interesting.
Don't let the French narration scare you; there are English captions.

And you can place the chords on various push points.
I tried it. Be aware, it's all MIDI. Users of Yamaha equipment will have the easiest time using the styles.

Pipeline.... Are you spying on me? I was just about to post this here  This developer took an aggressive swing to deliver! It is still very young and a bit clunky, compared to vArranger. But still, nothing but respect for this guy. Especially for the price - FREE! Just finished writing a support email to developer with some suggestions. Looking back, I was actually surprised that BIAB does not have support for styles of arranger keyboards. Maybe one day...

It's an impressive introduction. I think it is very smart to use the Yamaha arranger styles as there is a huge collection of styles available for download over the internet. That takes a lot of pressure off the developer.

Seems promising
But... (haven’t spent enough time to be totally sure of anything, nevertheless)
[*]The harmony parts (guitar, piano, keys) don’t know the right voicings for the interesting chords (susb9 for instance, but also lydian...)
[*]There seem to be some chords missing, like the beautiful Cmaj7#5
[*]Most yamaha styles are no less cheesy than the old biab ones and biab has some nice ones, too
[*]No score or sheet yet.
[*]No xml or mgu import yet
[*]Holds, pushes... don’t seem to apply to the drums
On the other hand, there seems to be some promise here
[*]Odd meters!
[*]Simple GUI
[*]Song structure is simple and allows a lot of options
[*]Great, easy soundfont (not High Quality, but decent and GM compatible)
Looks promising, sure does.
Biab, Kontakt, Sampletank and lots of nice libraries, from Fluffy audio to Abbey Road drums. Check out these great contemporary Jazz Styles: www.jazzstylezz.com

I played with this for a couple of hours last night and here are some of my first thoughts and how they compare to yours. Seems promising

You don't need a score or notation sheet as you can save the song as a mid file and load it into a notation program like the free Musecore.
You are right about the lacking file structures.
I didn't mess with holds or pushes.

The bottom line for me is that if you are working mostly in MIDI this is something to look at and to keep an eye on. IMHO if this keeps on improving this software will be a big threat to the MIDI side of BiaB.

On my system, they were installed here:
C:\Users\Primary\JJazzLab\Rhythms
Where 'Primary' is your Windows User name.
There are different folders under Rhythms for different song types. The 'styles' files (.STY) are included in the Rhythms subfolders.

It will import Impro-visor songs and Impro-visor will import midi tracks.
You can use SaviHost with VSTSynthFont64 D.dll send midi from JJazzLab to SaviHost with LoopMidi.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
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."
