I've been meaning for some time to make a universal transport control, a separate app whose sole purpose would be transport control. This would be rad (TM) for a number of reasons: 1) Get your whole rig to start at once, even if you're not using ecasound or ardour 2) beat-based clocks -- synchronize multiple sequencers, and control them all from one panel 3) funny tricks with beats -- speed up, slow down the tempo. Loop the last 4 beats. All the GDAM tricks, but on a system-wide level.* Anyway. I'm way excited about these possibilities, if you can't tell ;) regards, wingo. * You'll run into some buffering issues here when streaming from disk. Oh well.
