I think most people who want to do nutty midi tricks like this just use Opcode's Max. Put it on a used powerbook, and you're off. I'm not sure the extent that you can interface it with actual audio events, but people have written and amazing assortment of objects. No doubt some interface with the mac's audio hardware. I know I've seen Max dsp objects that work with audiomedia cards. advantage of max is you program it, so it's uniquely your thing and you don't have to be confined to someone else's ideas, or their need to make a profit. kim ______________________________________________________________________ Kim Flint | Looper's Delight kflint@annihilist.com | http://www.annihilist.com/loop/loop.html http://www.annihilist.com/ | Loopers-Delight-request@annihilist.com
