What is "tracks setting" in style?

I searched the Internet, but there was no explanation or video introduction.
I've tried it myself. Select different tracks settings and generate them
The results changed little
Because you don't select different tracks, the setting will change a little for each generation.
So let me ask you, do you know what the role of "tracks setting" is here?

With the Timebase option you can play any RealTracks at normal, half time, double time or triple time. Half time is used for fast tempo songs when a much slower tempo RealTrack has been chosen. Double time is used for slow tempo songs (e.g. ballads) when a much faster tempo RealTrack is chosen. This allows you, for example, in a ballad at a tempo of 70, to add a RealTracks Sax solo with a tempo of 140, and play it as a double time, which will match the ballad tempo of 70. All of your existing RealTracks can be used at three different tempos (normal, half-time, double time).

The [Medley] button allows you to create a medley of RealTracks on the same track.

If Bluesy is checked, the selected RealTracks will play in a bluesy style, where major triads are treated like 8th chords.

If Simpler is checked, the selected RealTracks will play a simpler arrangement (less busy, less embellished). See the "Simple Available" column for availability of simpler RealTracks.

If Direct Input is checked, the selected RealTracks will use a "clean signal" guitar so that you can add your own effects. See the "Direct Input Available" column for availability of clean recordings.

Sometimes you want the very simplest comping part possible, which is just "held chords" for the whole piece. This would mean that the piano player, for example, just plays a single chord and holds it for the duration until the next chord. If you check Held option, the selected RealTracks will play held chords.

Pipeline:

thanks.

Regarding simple, blue, and hold, I also tried it. The sound is indeed different, but it is a bit worse.
It happened that I didn’t choose any option, it generated three times, and the sound was different.
Not surprisingly, I think these three options are all the same, why can they be all?

I have not had time to study the following natural arrangements.

Melody: If I choose a STYLE, then the whole is changed, just like the following STY mentioned above, instead of adding a new STYLE, replace all. So MELODY is actually a link like the one below, there is no difference, right?

The problem now is that I understand the literal English. If you don't really operate it, you will not be so determined, and it seems to be useless. Are these bugs of VST?
I still have a problem with the operation.

The key is that I can’t find any video presentations and text descriptions online

Question 1: I checked normal, half, double
It all sounds the same, don't you think?

Question 2: did you hear a noise in 10 seconds of my video.
My computer has 8-core r4800, 16g memory and sound card focusrite 2i4. No matter my ASIO is set at 2565121024, there will be noise, but the place of noise is different every time crazy confused grin

As long as that little blue light on the Generate bar keeps blinking, it is not going to change. You have to get it to regenerate in between changes.
