Does anyone know if you can use just the effects in another DAW? Are they VSTs? Thanks for the help!

You do not need to Bounce to Clip after recording passes, you can just unfold the lane tracks clicking the icon at the bottom left of the track header. This way you have each instrument in its own clip, which might be convenient in some cases.
Regarding the Step Sequencer, an important feature is that you can add probability practically to every control parameter. If you then drag the clip to a cell in the Matrix view and play it looped, you can record again its output to your instrument track and automatically generate and record multiple variations of your beat or phrase, for as long you keep the cell looping.

I must say, I'm impressed. It was an unusable buggy mess last time I looked (a very long time ago), but now it actually seems stable and there's no arguing the price. I humbly recommend that you ignore the years of bad press and experiences and actually give the latest version a go. Seriously. I'm as skeptical as they come regarding this program but after an hour or two trying to make it fail, I'm thinking about trying it for a song or two.
