So how would you use a drum machine for music production without sync? [and diverging somewhat from the original topic:] seems to me that with the current development model for Linux music production tools (ie v small teams working on separate projects), the only hope of mainstream usefullness is to concentrate on interopability. Jack is a great example of this, but we need more, possibly inventing a host environment which provides common services. I'm not sure that it is possible or desirable for Linux to compete with the big monolithic proprietory solutions such as Logic or Cubase. We could aim higher. I wonder if there are other people on the list who have views on this? best regards -- Tim Orford
