My favorite bass player playing the right notes on a RT at the right tempo would be the ultimate - agreed. I often don't get that with RTs. My point is that BIAB can and I believe will improve its midi capabilities. Midi will never be perfect but it can get better. With more powerful computers many of the factors discussed above will be built into software to emulate random articulations. The idea is not to ever replace live musicians but simply make it as good as possible. I am betting that PG Music will surprize us over the next few years with things we thought were impossible.
