I probably will try the demo but it may not run on my system because it's a regular P4 2.8 not a dual core that they say is required. I hear you about the drums, I've done that many times using a Real Drum track mixed with a midi track driving a Jamstix Yamaha kit, the sounds are almost identical. Just thinking of possibilities is all. To have a Real Track Sax play a melody line would be worth it by itself. For that matter, there's lots of commercial recordings of people playing various instruments solo so any of those could probably be used as well. Imagine taking a line by Wes Montgomery that he plays before the band starts, changing it a bit and plugging it into your own song. I'm sure there's copyright issues with that but it sure would be fun.
I got the midi thing from watching a video of their demo at a NAMM show several years ago, they said they were converting the audio notes to midi so you can play them with a midi file or something like that but it looks like that's not part of this release.

You don't have to worry about copyright issues really, unless you're going to profit from it. If you're doing it for fun, there should be no problem. Unless your song becomes a hit or something.
Another possibility for drum or percussion tracks is using a program like Reason and Recycle. You can chop them up, and use midi to retrigger them in any order.
