of course they can, and so can mine (sd1+) dom you must understand that trying to change a recorded audio sample is like trying to take the eggs out of a cake when it's baked, impossible, unless its at the molecular level..The only way audio can play that chord is to record that chord. Just the same as the way current arrangers play that chord is that that chord has been pre-programmed via midi data, which is much MUCH easier, quicker and cheaper than the equivalent audio recording required. for a further example, all that is required to change the basic Cmaj chord in a midi system to a C7 is to simply add the b7 note in the mid file, job's done. In an audio file you have to either record a brand new chord, OR record the b7 note by itself and them merge the 2 recordings, to my thinking that is double the work.Add to that, if using Diki's guitar example, the various neck positions, and even the neck positions used by bass players, means a mountain of work for just one style..Further in the midi system all modern arrangers have very intelligent NTT's (note transposition tables) which effectively take care of various inversions and variations, and I do not think audio arrangers are anywhere near this. I may be proven wrong, but not before 2045..In my view the new "audio arrangers" vis-a-vis audya, will actually use a combination of audio+midi to accomplish their aims.Which is essentially what Ketron for example are doing with their Midjay Range, from which I really think a lot of the audya engine is going to derive, with a few more bells and whistles.
