Freewheeling looks pretty good, except it's more designed to take the place of a more standard pedal-controlled loop machine. I don't really want to just record myself live, but I want to play pre-recorded samples and midi sequences, much like you would if you had a ton of dj decks lying around, and got them all to fit in a touchscreen. Plus, I want the engine so I can write my own app. On 4/6/06, Lee Revell <rlrevell@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Thu, 2006-04-06 at 04:14 -0800, Patrick Stinson wrote: > > I've been looking for a high-performance music engine.
