Yes, I know. Instead of the performer inputting his personality the composer would . That's what I meant when I said the program would offer easy, intuitive controls to fine tune the performance in whichever way he chooses. You might say that this is impossible, unfeasible to do with computers, but it's likely simply an issue of power. Given the rate of growth in technology it seems like within 10-15 years, or sometime relatively soon (my lifetime, I'd say) computers will be powerful enough.

Like I said before, the question of the "soul" of performance comes in. Is it something that can be calculated? I dunno, but I'm pretty sure programmers are trying to calculate it. Hell, what do you think "Human playback" is ?

Oh, and I agree with you Robin, I was just talking about composers using only computers, who'd send their sampled music as the finished product.
