I think the simplest solution and the most rewarding for users would be to do a series of special real track recordings creating a lot of differents intros, fills, endings etc. Much like the preprogrammed midi intros and endings on a nice keyboard.

Forinstance have a instrument play a nice intro for a jazz style, create one or two fills per style, then have 1-4 endings to choose from per style. These should be set up to generate just like the real tracks do now, based upon key, tempo, range, etc.

I would think that would be the simplest means of acheiving holds that sound natural, as well as abrupt stops, etc.

These could be marketed as a seperate product or as an add on to real track set for which they were specifically created, but could also often be used with other similar sets.

Any ideas??????????



Considering the problems with trying to get the audio to loop correctly to make it sound like a held note, I think this is probably the best solution. HOWEVER, it would require massive effort and would cause other problems like how to choose those endings and more importantly - how can you be sure that STUMMED ACOUSTIC GUITAR ENDING A will really sound correct with METAL ELECTRIC BASS ENDING A?
