Like I said, I don't want any sequencing in tX, also no audio recording

(the exporting stuff is also going to go). Qtracktor is a sequencer, tX

is a sampler for loops. I think the idea of integrating Tritium would be

the best. My vision of tX is that of a set of turntables with a mixer

and a loop-library capable of downloading loop from a repo (similar to

the sample-databank of Hydrogen), and again with NO sequencing, since

one uses rhythmic loops.

I want to build in a beattracker, so that the turntables synchronise the

loops, regardless of their original tempo.

So the aim is to make the workflow of tX more simplistic and live: load

the loops-> press play-> scratch/ twist params/load more loops. That's

it.

Just like the unix motto: Make a small tool, but make it the best.

    So, I wonder why you choose to work with tX when Rui has started a long way on this path with qTracktor?
    Cheers.
