If they would just make a plugin that writes great songs for you.

Then a plugin that does all the work while I drink beer and watch squidbillys...

And a robot to mow the lawn too.

It'd be interesting to see someone's note-for-note copy of a Beatles song using this. I'm thinking it'd sound pretty Karaoke Nite.

The instrument list in the literature is interesting, though...I wonder how accurate it is with respect to the original recordings...

Maybe that is why they have no demos posted yet?

They've got 2 samples up now...sounds pretty good! I've never worked with intensive, multiple-stroke guitar samples like those though, how do you get the playing nuances through?

You don't. It's still awful sampled guitar.
Looks cool for demos or messing about though.
I think I'd find certain sounds useful in a real session.

Yeah I'm sure the keys, drums and maybe bass could be pretty killer in practice. Used carefully and in moderation, of course. Then again, what fun is that? I coulda used that when recording the demo for the Beatles band I was in, damn!
