A 21st Century MIDI Control Super Instrument
The smart hockey player does not play the puck where it is, he plays the puck where it will be. This simple analogy remains true for technology in general, but it is especially true for app developers who somewhat narrate the story of technology. Technology is driven by a need more than anything else, as is the mother of invention. On the other side of the token there is a huge creative aspect that comes into play when developing new apps or new technology to create music. On the creative side, there isn’t necessarily a need for it as much as there is a “want” for it. It is the creative developers who pursue new ideas and take risks that aren’t guaranteed to pay off.

As of today, we use DAWs as a tool, much like we use a hammer to drive nails into objects. Generative music apps are a bit more sophisticated – like a hammer that knows the difference between a screw and a nail. It is still a tool by all means, but it’s a thinking tool that does some of the human’s work as well. We can expect to see more of this in the future, and likely more developers fighting for the ownership of the code. http://www.synthtopia.com/content/2013/01/02/avantgarde-audio-intros-enchord-a-21st-century-midi-control-super-instrument/
