Don't know where future development may lead.

But I do know that sampling is sampling, whether the sounds are stored separately as notes or taken out of a pcm file makes no big diff AFAIC. But I've done sampling and perhaps have the insight from same behind me. Looping is very important, finding good loop points is maybe 90% of the work in creating a single samplebank. Grabbing the notes out of a recording would make that task extremely formidable if not impossible. And at the "end of the day" would have no gain over present-day MIDI techniques.

Whether stored in a separate databank or in a wav file such as the RealTracks offer, the end result of what you are talking about would be "sampling" in both cases. Only difference would be the method of storing said samples. Current day samplers are much faster at it, for another thing. We know where eah note is, no need to search or chop a file first.
