No, it's a live looping tool that can sample and repeat loops on the fly. http://freewheeling.sourceforge.net/ It does have an interface for controlling fluidsynth built into it. I think I'm more or less doing what Patrick wants by using freewheeling in conjunction with jack-rack, qsampler, specimen, etc., but it sounds like he wants control over it all from one application, or perhaps something scriptable, whereas i'm alt-tabbing like mad in the middle of performance, and may actually be the human equivalent of what he wants. i'm imagining csound or pd to be the way to go. -- daneasley@xxxxxxxxx dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://towndowner.com http://burntpossum.com
