The automation only works well with a tiny percentage of songs..... (And it's always demonstrated with one of those select few songs.) With songs that don't work, the automated accompaniments just sound "wrong".... And it may sound "hideous" in some cases.......... (It's also ruthless if you make a mistake, and try to re-establish the music to the automated rhythms. Like trying to catch a moving train.)
This has been attempted with electronic organs and keyboards seemingly forever..... But the same problem always arises..... The only people who can make instruments like this sound good all the time are trained musicians who manually fill in the accompaniments, with the automation turned off.
