Also the reason I see if as handy is because you could do something like this for a metal beat.

d1 $ sound "[bd*4] [sn bd*3] <[bd*4] [bd*6]> <[sn bd*3] [bd*3 sn bd*2]>"

That will give straight 16th with the snare on three every odd cycle with a triplet roll and snare on 4 of the 4th measure on the even cycles. That's using the internal kit. That's far simpler than writing it into a daw.

It's midi capable. It can use rtpmidid. I tested that far. I just need to get it to send midi to windows. I'm testing that tomorrow. Then you set an instrument as the midi out and send notes or midi values to that instrument. Ableton link for he clock supposedly just works. I just see this as being superior sequencer. Once I pick up the syntax and get a tap, a lot of things I do manually can be automated.
