What about loading the loops into specimen, dssi synths into jack-dssi-host, and using seq24 to both record your playing and trigger the loops in specimen? A bit convoluted, but doable. A shell script could set it all up (or LASH, but I've had no luck with it - not enough app support). _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
