True enough...and no, I didn't mean to drag in improvisation

Many jazz-type genres are stylistically resistant to your synthesis, though. Swing feel is something that eludes many serious human players, I don't think any computer will get it quite right ...other aspects: articulation, phrasing, etc I expect will also be quite troublesome, and might take a while longer to perfect the programming ...

I'm sure computers will "improvise" - shit, they probably already do. But it'll sound...off. It'll never be convincing, and will lack the essential spark that will identify it as soulful...
