Customization helps with both creativity and workflow. You can color-code elements such as your timeline, instruments, fx, and more. This would also visually help people during online multiplayer in addition to in-game notes. There is additional organization when it comes to finding audio as things can be filtered by type of sound, style, etc.

In the stream Media Molecule picked a piano sample from their studio to use. When compared to playing the actual piano in their studio at the same time, they indeed sounded the same with near perfect quality. You could even plug in an audio interface and record your own instruments to the PS4 that way if you don’t used the PS4 camera or USB mic. Not only that but with importing, you’ll be able to upload browser supported sound files such as mp3, wav, and aiff. Using the 2D performance surface you can play samples vanilla style or put a gadget in the field for real-time effects like reverb and flanger. The notes recorded from the 2D view get translated to the piano roll view in which you can do fine detail editing.
