I got a Digitech Trio+ Band Creator and Looper a few years ago. I want to do my part and for them to do theirs. I don't want to tell a bassist or drummer what I want to hear from them. I prefer to collaborate with live players who bring their parts with them. I play live - at least when it's safer out there. I use my piano to map out sounds, but for me, it's a tool, not an instrument to play. I've dabbled enough with drums and bass to know I should never do that again. I play sing and play guitar, and write - that's it. But once in a while, I think - wouldn't it be nice to build my own backing tracks? A part of me shrivels up, desiccates, and wishes for a wind to blow me away whenever I see a grid or manipulate a timeline. (play several instruments, compose, arrange, record, mix, master, produce). And despite that, I have no desire to do everything it takes to do what you do. I've admired and enjoyed the music that people create and share here. I'm sorry if this has been discussed to death before. I searched, but the search engine doesn't look in this Other Gear forum.
