Interesting, but I don't think that it will be feasable for everday music applications. If I understand the article, they essentially "virtualized" a clarinet and player, but did not do a FULL replica of the music. They didn't program for specific techniques, so the nuances of a real musician playing wouldn't come through the way they do when a real musician records something.

I saw that on 4/1 and honestly couldn't decide if it was april fools material or not

Yeah, that was awful. Totally unmusical. It completely changed the character of the music, and that was a SINGLE clarinet...almost a sine wave. That would MASSACRE any real music.

yeha I kept thinking of Midi I wonder whats the difference. THey should actually offer the file for listening but then again, we'd need a decoder.
