Nick: I am afraid I am not the right one to answer on this cause I have no knowledge of orchestral music at all. But for me it seems that these components just make out the "human" feeling (at least the part that could be implemented today by a KI) of orchestral music. And thats definitely the background for the devellopment. But for me it works fine for none-orchestral compositions too.
Of course it is a black box HOW all this works together in the background but on the other hand that makes it that easy useable. Its really the only Tool so far that lets you easyily compose a whole midi song with not much to adjust in your daw after its finished.
I think you might do this with Rapid Composer for example BUT there you will have to know each and evry step of what your doing. Of course then the advantage is that you exactly know what your are doing
.
But I just failed to understand the basics enough (and keep track of the monthly great updates....) to really make a song with it. Love the idea tool, but there is so much you have to know to use it from the idea tool to a complete song.....Just my personal experience, Orb Composer is really the first tool for me that gives great results with little effort AND much fun to use. And the fun part, for me as just hobby musician, is very important.
