Despite the requisite HN cynicism, this is really, really cool. This is a bland marketing demo of course they're not going to get to the really interesting parts. Oh, this combo of instruments didn't really sound that good...yeah, that's because they chose an arbitrary combination to demonstrate that they could, not because they're claiming that every new sound will be amazing. An important aspect of any new medium is the ability to make novel mistakes. Music synthesis has been a thing for a long time now, so of course there are going to be sounds that you can get through some other technique. That doesn't mean there can be no surprises using a similar (but still novel) approach. Andrew Huang did a video a while back about nsynth (just playing with the algorithm, before the nsynth super) and lo, despite nsynth's absolute dearth of musical merit, he actually manages to make something cool.
