It all looks really good but one also needs to be able to play and control the device. It sounds really good when the right person is handling the instrument.

How an instrument is played and how the effects such as expression or controllers for vibrato are handled and the actual timing of the player makes a huge difference.

A device like this in my hands would still sound like some goose trying to use a keyboard. In others hands it could be totally different with the odd person really making it all sound “real”.

With BIAB I can take my time and make parts sound good then mix the parts and use them in a live show along with my guitar. I will never be able to do that on a keyboard no matter how good the individual instruments.

Edit: as an example listen to Ruben of HiFiMidi play an AmpleSound Guitar on a keyboard it actually sounds good. (Better than I can get it after a heap of programming). My timing is so bad it still sounds like a clunky keyboard if I use a keyboard.

That is not to say I don’t like the technology it is brilliant.
