The problem is that the documentation (and for jMax the install procedure) end up scaring off a lot of newbies. I guess the real issue there though is that these programs do a lot more than just those applications and are possibly overkill for someone who just wants a sampler or looper. (Of course the other issue with the sampler is that usually software samplers have built-in editing facilities, so you'd have to use Snd or something to tweak you samples before using jMaz or Pd to trigger them.) -dgm
