Think about the instruments used in writing songs, and then think of the variations of those which are used in different acoustics. Now, think about being able to enter the notes of a song and choose to have it played on the piano. One more choice and you could change it to a Honky-Tonk piano.
Specific instruments are traditionally identified with certain songs, and performed by famous artists. When those songs are modified by using some other instrument, it usually provides results that are interesting. A song like Classical Gas is a famously difficult song to play on the guitar, imagine how it sound on a banjo.
Bach's famous Toccata and Fugue in D Minor is identified by its performances in horror movies where it is played on a huge pipe organ. In terms of pieces that rate high on the difficulty scale, it almost shoots past the top. But with computer technology it could easily be played by combining a dozen soothing Hawaiian guitars to play it.
Boots Randolph was famous for his Yakety Sax performance, and its stream of rapid staccato notes creates a difficult piece for many people to play. However, there could be some really interesting difficulties in arranging it to be performed by string section in a orchestra, unless computer software were making the call.
It might well have never crossed the mind of Scott Joplin as he wrote the famous song The Entertainer using a crisp sounding piano that it might some day be altered through the use of computers. But, this is another work that is identified with a certain instrument, and could have a unique delivery if played by having the piano part done by Tiffany drums.
Electronics is what made computer technology possible, and computers made it possible to use the Internet to find the perfect combinations for great entertainment. When that high speed access meets software brilliance, there can be many happy hours spent using your talent to enjoy yourself as you make music online.
