Paul, Thanks. Rhythmlab looks like fun. (Assuming I found the right one. I actually ended up using Google since it didn't pop out at me on Dave's pages.) Here's what I'm looking at: http://www.enteract.com/~asl2/music/RhythmLab/#About . If this isn't the one you're speaking of, please let me know.
While this looks useful, I think what attracted me about the little app the Christian has started is that it appears to be intended to be used as a MIDI device and not something that makes rhythm patterns. This is what I like about Battery as I do my MIDI drum programming other ways, but can easily insert the drum samples I want very quickly. For my more permanent kits I use GigaStudio and build a kit, but that takes more time so I don't do it unless I'm pretty sure I really need the kit. With Battery I can just sort of throw a bunch of samples together and get results pretty quickly. Anyway, thanks for the pointer.

That would be very >useful! be sure to check out rythmnlab (see dave's linux sound+midi pages for a link). i have a rewritten (C++), cleaned up, JACK-ified version that has been pending for months and months now. it was intended to be a hard test of the "porting an OSS-model app to JACK" and indeed, it was so hard i had to rewrite it :) anyway, my point is that rythmnlab is really cool. not as cool as battery, perhaps, but really cool. --p
