Specifically regarding the reverb, see screenshot.
I need to know if my understanding of activating this entry is correct, in that doing so will activate BBox's own built-in reverb engine effect, as opposed to whatever reverb engine the sound source may or may not include if left unchecked? Or is activating this thing only going to assure a level of the reverb being applied, akin to a sort of "Midi Learn" fashion?
Example: The Sforzando program that runs sfz sound sources has a built-in reverb engine, one which even comes with several pre-configurations (Room, Hall etc), but so does BBox - Which one is going to be actually applied to the sound if I check this setting?

If checked, the audio is processed through the built-in reverb plugin in Band-in-a-Box. This is the same reverb that RealTracks are processed through. The PG Music Reverb dialog controls the settings for this.
Oh, and by the way, that particular settings you referenced should of course have been changed to track-based already instead of the old & crude "global" - just sayin'

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."
