OK, that makes it VERY much clearer. Outstanding!

Be interesting to hear comparisons between the audio version and the MIDI version, then perhaps some kit changes to show what variety you can get from this...

Things keep getting better and better with the Audya.

To be honest, though, especially with drums (although guitars are getting closer, too), I STILL don't really see the point of audio drums. If you listen to the audio demos for things like EZ Drummer and BFD, etc., it can be almost impossible to tell that it isn't a REAL drummer in audio. It sounds live, it sounds ambient, it sounds real. BUT.... you still can do all the standard MIDI stuff to it. All we need are ROM kits in the sizes that EZ Drummer uses (in fact, they could be MUCH smaller, because you don't need the independent 'overhead' and 'room' mike layers that these give you) and audio loops could be unnecessary.

In fact, do this, and you open up much more data streaming capabilities to the audio guitars (don't need it for the drums any more), and you might finally have the throughput to REALLY get all the guitar chords in realtime...
