Wouldn't it be possible to code the app with nuances that make it
personalised, that reflect the disposition of the creator? In fact how
could software *not* embody the designers conception of
music/sound/composition? This varies so much from person to person, let
alone musician to musician. The end result would have character just like
the body of work of any (good) more traditional musician has character.
Regardless, there are folks much more qualified to talk about these matters
on this list than me. I just had to add .my .02..
