Oh.  I see...I think. I'm curious how playing ahead of the groove would work in real time. A prediction algorithm?

After the performance is recorded, a look-ahead algorithm could be applied/manipulated "in real-time".  

My head just exploded lol

idk Jim... the whole idea of pushing or pulling the rhythm to alter the tempo is that the other musicians respond in real time. Adding push or pull later to suggest that... well we all sped up b/c of the drummer that wasn't playing when we recording the guitar parts is kinda weird, no?
 
I do think it would be cool to be able to have a separate tempo map for each instrument maybe and to adjust how they overlay each other... maybe moving the drums to line up with the guitar better by adjusting the drums tempo map rather than moving beats a bit here and bit there... you could line the drums up with the bass, but let the guitar lead the beat a bit even as the tempo increases. or the other way around as it decreases.
 
Possibilities are limitless.
 
Of course, I think of R&D as Rip-off and duplicate when it comes to concepts for mapping tempos. Everyone has been mapping tempos forever. I guess I'm just left scratching my head on why this company gets to say 'no one can follow us for 18 years' because their idea is so original. Is it really that original?

If a new algo rhythm actually works it will be fairly original.
 
Most of the tempo mapping tools that have existed for the past 20+ years don't actually work very well.
 
For example; Fit to Improvisation frequently balks when it thinks you are "out of range"
 
For example; Set Measure/Beat at Now can gum up the works, but not before you've invested a good deal of time working your way along the time line.
 
 

Yeah. I didn't mean to be all pessimistic.
 
Remember the Maestrolizer? That was cool bit of code.
 
Anyway, I know the coders aren't really making millions. They deserve to get paid for their work.
 
I'm sus picious some times about who gets paid for what work.

In this case the person who developed the idea no longer seems to work at the corporation that intends to own the idea.
 
The reason this announcement grabbed my attention is that I've hoped for better working time line tools for quite some time, which is also why I've been curious about the Cubase tools. Also, Forum member dmbear has a great MIDI timing tool that he developed but I haven't explored it fully.
