It only works so far. You can sample music but you cannot totally
replicate it. It is also difficult to consistently produce so-called
"oriental" interval values and non standard (not divisible by 2 or 3)
rhythms. Sure you can program those rhythms for a while, but then you
have to be able to mix them with standard rhythms for parts of pieces.
