If somebody speaks Italian (e.g. John Smies?), please translate the Youtube description of the second demo precisely. He mentions an "audio file" with orchestral sounds - I'm not sure ALL the sounds are really from the SD9 !?
John Smies is Dutch... dont know how good his Italian might be..
Anyway... i think the launchpad allows you to use audio parts and convert it in pitch and stretch it in time in realtime ... and follow your progression... Maybe thats where he was aiming at?
The tribute part (2nd video) is among the best sounding arranger parts i have heared trough youtube... there is really much going on..
The single sounds are as allways hard to place because its a youtube, they sound good, but its not possible to say if they are great because of being youtube video..
I would have loved for them to play a sax using the automated articulations ...
