Leave that to a sequencer. its wierd how the overwhelming majority of folks out there in the world don't seem to feel that this distinction is relevant to their working style, and even more, whenever anybody does bring out a cool new sequencer (e.g. nodal, or some of the hex- or octagonal sequencers that have appeared recently) everyone starts wondering about how it can be integrated into <theirDAW>. > Linux audio is nowhere.
