Mmm, this really isn't the same thing. With a drum machine you're still programming the riffs themselves and people's chief complaint was the sound itself, whereas I've listened to a number of samples from this and the quality is definitely there, but the lyrical melodies themselves are not particularly harmonically engaging or memorable. Like the voices are just all over the place on the scale.

That being said, this is definitely a "meme" kind of thing rather than a tool for actual orchestration.

I agree with the control thing, but I can also see that this can be solved. Not sure how but that’s the whole point of their funding round - figuring out how to make it fun in a lasting way.

The non-memorable bit… I’m certain people complained that all drum sounds from drum machines sound the same and are thus not memorable. So I’m cautious here personally, even though I see your point.
