Wow I can’t believe some people are harping on this so badly. It is 100% meeting my expectations.
I can play passable keys to enter parts and I am adept at editing MIDI. Simple pad keyboard parts – I can do those myself either by playing or by editing. Even some other stuff as well.
What I can’t do by myself is more sophisticated jazz/latin piano comping that a real pianist would do. This does a great job of pulling that off. Now will I keep these as the final versions? Maybe, maybe not. I could get someone to do a more refined MIDI performance to replace the basic idea here.
Or I could use it as is – depends. If keys are the focus of the song then it can be hard to let this drive everything.

For me the chord change tool on the song element is fantastic! Brilliant! I can start with a pattern, change a chord or two. I can edit parts of patterns together, etc. etc. I can use this to refine ideas and match up my intended harmonic progressions.

That being said, I also export the song MIDI and then can edit it in further detail.

I also got the funk library – which is interesting but I don’t think I’d use the riffs as is, but maybe as inspiration. But then again, that’s what this whole thing is for.
I also got it for the Mellotron library – I had sampletron before but that is no longer 64-bit compatible.

So far I find this far more effective and easy to use than things I’ve used for horn sections. Those didn’t really allow exporting the resulting MIDI data – I think that feature is essential.
