Good Question! One of the main differances is that with Tunesmith you more 
or less get the same Constant Output, however, you can change that, but that 
is the Tunesmith "sound" as I like to put it.Of course it is up to the 
indevidual on what comes out. Also it is more "realtime"..that is you can 
tweak it while it generating stuff

With SB5, you are actually Generating stuff, and letting  the program 
actaully have a lot of control in generating the material. Also you get 
different rythms going in and out. It sounds real different then Tunesmith. 
Of course you set what pitches it will use, what rythm structure and what 
velocitites, plus other factors such as Echoing. Plus there is a realtime 
element, which I just read about and have to explore more. A session with 
SB5 means you are not touching your midi keyboard at all, but experimentinmg 
with inputing different parameters and hearing what the results are. If you 
like it , you can save it as a standard midi file or SB5 file. With Midi 
file output, you can bring it into your favorite sequencer for inclusion 
into a larger piece.Also, SB is perfect for GM as it has a GM map to assign 
sounds right inside the program. Very handy! I think it is similer to M in 
many respects, but it still has a different sound then M as well.

The best thing to do is boot up the prgram and  load one of the demo files. 
You will hear a vast differance between TS and SB5.

Gavin (of this list and also the CN fractal list) has been using it to 
generate Piano pieces which are quite nice. There is an example in the 
MidiFile folder on the file section.I will be uploading some files soon 
myself.

Hope this answers your question somewhat.
Any more comments?
