You can now adjust the internal notes within the opening string section in Etta James' "At Last" to conform to the tune you're working on. That's the kind of thing I'm going to try.
Seems like a pretty radical breakthrough to me.
The possibilities are pretty mindblowing if you think like a young Pete Rock or Prince Paul or Hank Shocklee or Timbaland or other such innovator (like the Beatles?) would do with this tool.
The musical implications are pretty wild. And the legal implications are pretty wild too. If you sample something and completely rearrange its internal musical structure, it would seem to me that it's not the same licensing scenario as a conventional sample. But I guess that question goes beyond the scope of this thread.
They're going to need to make a sequel to this Good Copy Bad Copy, that's for sure...
- c | I'm kinda shocked it isn't all over as well. (I kinda waited till I could hear reports before buying in). But it seems like taking a horn stab that is minor and making it a major stab would be a cool use of the thing. I understand it can't just deconstruct a loop as easily but it would still seem to have a lot of things we could use it for like the example you gave.
