Thank you ; I visited your site, and found many things of interest, including the pksampler ;-) Will have a closer look at this, definitely. 2006/8/15, Patrick Stinson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I wrote a bunch of control-rate (midi) sequencer code in python that sends messages via OSC to supercollide

I wrote a bunch of control-rate (midi) sequencer code in python that sends messages via OSC to supercollider. I even incorporated it into a QObject so you can just slap it into your PyQt4 UI, as I did mine. PyQt4 is great... check out scosc and scsynth http://www.patrickkidd.com/ lemmie know if
