Yeah, thats what I think. i like to experiment with ideas anyway
I have a few kewl instruments I could model as well which i've deisgned for use in a song already made before to test it. Like I said though, i'd have to animate every note manually Will take a while but effects might be amazing. There is a midi thing built into Max, but I don't think it'd work the same way as theirs in getting stuff to play an animation at the right time. might try though
