I actually find this goal more distasteful than the one Fons is objecting to.
I can understand why people are interested in automatic accompaniment,
but mangling human-made music to fit a specific timing map seems like
a more proper goal to me -- "manufactured" being somehow preferable to
"simulated". (I think this may be an "uncanny valley" situation -- if
you haven't met this term before, look it up.)
