GH is a game. Yes, you are triggering sounds, but you create nothing and at the end of it, instead of something new to put on beatport, you get 'You Rock' and a chance to play again. |
Lol - Sure but, modify your GH Axe and you can make your own music too...
Im not knocking ppl who 'fiddle around with MIDI.' I make and release music too but I think the point is that things like GH and Rock Band prove that a new arena for musical creativity is on the rise... People have been taking things like GH and hacking them for ages for musical purposes.
These guitars are only toys because they are limited, at this particular moment, to playing other people's songs. This is a software problem, and not representative of some lasting defect with the device.
It's already been resolved by the community many times over. When Harmonix delivers a composition suite with the next Rock Band (or the next), and people start creating and uploading their own albums, it's going to be pretty hard to maintain the fiction that people are playing with toys.
