Actually Spalding you are wrong about
"Cutting and pasting grooves from a sound library into a pattern . cant play complex chiors with it"

If the loop is a C13 for example, the Audio Elastique engine changes the pitch whilst the style is running...Play G and it transposes to a G13, play a D and it transposes to a D13...ALL in realtime.

Magica is far FAR more experienced in this than I am so he may be able to explain it better, but it is nowhere near an Audya in its complexity and how it works.

It is way AHEAD of the Audya when it comes to dealing with audio samples and loops.
