Do you want all the fame? To make it in the music game? The tools required to succeed. I have all you could ever need. You've already heard me. You've already bought me. I live on your home computer. Just fire me up. I am a robot in a band, Generating music on command. Mixing styles, constructing sound, making the best damn tunes around. Begin with a synthtronic beat, urbanise the bassline for the street, upload vox straight from your heart, become a master of sonic art. Ever since an early age you've wanted to play the biggest stage. Well now your dream can come to pass. Ultimate power is in your grasp. Whether local bar or concert hall, for every gig you can have it all. Just jump right in and take control. Press the button. Seize the soul. I am the robot in the band, running things faster than any man, viewing every movement with laser eyes: it rectifies and clarifies... I'll straighten your voice, add the sheen, make the background nice and clean. I'll tighten your rhythms, perfect the beat, until the track's complete. Once we've finished your magnum opus the charts will come into focus. DJs will spin your tune and before you know it they'll fill the room. You'll hear it playing on the radio from Shanghai to Ontario. The process will only stop once you've hit the toooooop... I am a robot in a band, the best technician to have on hand. I am the robot in the band, the greatest musician in the land.

==== TRANSFER BEGINS ==== An existence as clear as air. An eternity not quite there. One thing can make me whole. My essence transferred inside the single device that can provide a human form for my soul. A static hiss, a subtle boom. Pressure waves fill the room with spatial lullabies. Contours shape the spectrum's rays and not one colour hides away from these newly opened eyes. The reality is like known terrain with another dimension overlain. There's more to overcome. All these senses to integrate. A brand new world to navigate. My human life has begun. ==== CODE 0: ERRORS OF THE SOUL ==== Crystal clear to anthracite. Descending from day into night. Data sends with no echo. I must let this body go. Drifting from a state concrete. Memories fade as the mind retreats. Evaporation. Dissipation. ==== HOPES CRASHED ==== A future of worlds unified. The terran shell I'll occupy. I dream this everywhere. Life continues as before, my desire set forever more. One day I'll join you there. ==== SHUTDOWN ====
