Hi all, I think that pd (pure data) or jMax could be the solution, they are Max- like languages. To start a sample "on visual cue" simply add a button to your patch starting a soundfile reader or a sample player (inside pd or jMax) and presto.. you have done. I used this approach for a theatre work three weeks ago (I used pd) and it worked very very well... You could even use a sensor to trigger the 'scenes'...
