The Answer to the Question that Phase from Harmonix begs!

"“It would be technically feasible but there’s something special about having a person involved,” Crooker said. “The people we hire are musicians themselves. When they open up a guitar track [to program it into the game], they can really make good music.”"Multiplayer Blog....

This in answer to the question that couldn't the technology of Phase be implemented in a Rock Band 2. This being that the consumer can use their own music library to play the game rather than pre-made tracks. OK... But the fact that the technology exists would make an awesome game and probably destroy the downloadable business model that both Guitar Hero and Rock Band have subscribed to. The money train would come to an abrupt end. I wouldn't expect to see anything like Phase coming to a console anytime soon. At least not from Harmonix or Redoctane. Because endless DLC money is far better than making consumer VERY HAPPY!
