COOL. Doesn't sound that good, but it's impressive.

yeah but this was programmed like cnc right? This wasn't improv, right? When I was into playing more jazz, I couldn't get around this at ALL.

this is proof that notes are nothing without the other aspects of music, most importantly feel and emotion

People still seem to mistake robots and artificial intelligence for being the same thing. Of course it doesn't sound like a real person playing. This is just a basic attempt at creating an automated instrument.

Haha that's awesome! Wonder how they got it to actually blow a solid tune and not squeak and all that. Of course, there's nothing like a real good sax player playing that solo and adding all the style to it but that's still neat

Shit, I actually like this solo!

¿Qué chucha pensaría Juanito Coltrane si viera esta huevada? xD

the shreddy bits are fine, I reckon, but the slow parts show off a complete lack of inflection.
As you'd expect.
From a robot.
I'm just terrified of the day that stops being true . . . I'll be out of a job >.>
