Since this is a "beta" version, I'm going to give you my two cents worth on the track. The guitar solo section was a lot better than I can do, but it still sounded like it was being played on a keyboard in many places.
Getting a convincing replication of a guitar using keyboard is really difficult. The best versions I've ever heard come from alternate controllers like the Roli Seaboard Rise. But I think they really hard to master.
I actually thought the guitar solo might be better using a synth patch, similar to the Steve Winwood sound. It really reminded me of his stuff.
My next favourite was the piano solo section. In both the guitar and piano solos, I thought you started out really nicely, but I felt that things started to wander off after a while in each solo. You do a good job of using silence in your solos, but I think more structure and a bit more discipline in your improvisation would really improve things even more. I'm a big believer in "less is more".
I'd also suggest that you experiment with some different bass patches. I thought the bass you used had too much attack transients and not enough sustain on the notes for this type of track. Or, perhaps layer in a second bass patch that doesn't have such a sharp attack and more sustain (e.g. a sampled acoustic bass patch). Or perhaps a synth-generated patch based on a sine wave setting on the OSC. I suspect that when you add vocals to the track, the bass will need to be toned down in any case, so that it isn't competing for attention with the vocals.
So, for what it's worth, those are my comments. I definitely enjoyed the track. Wish I could play jazz like that. I'd definitely be interested hearing it with vocals added.
Regards,
Eric
Much of my comments are subjective, of course.
