So this was announced by Kanye West himself lately and I find the device itself quite interesting. It claims to be able to take any song you play through it, and let you pick out every sound individually. Since basically all music is a sample of old music nowadays, if this device does what it claims, it would truly change the game. Especially in electronic, pop, and hiphop where almost every song is a sample. However, I'm more curious in how this device functions. Is it just an eq device more than anything? Any ideas? Not much actual information on it.

@dweller takes an incoming song and breaks it all apart, letting you have access to each sound(voice,guitar,piano...) separately, without anything else in the song playing.

@akwilson501 - Thanks for the explanation. I've wondered why record companies don't do this with their multi-tracked masters? They could issue CD sets with missing tracks (voice, guitar, drums, etc.) and sell them in music stores or where ever. Would be an easy way to make money.

@dweller would also be an easy way for artists to bite your sound easily(without copyright permission).

Break the sound into sound bytes is what I think that means.
