thanks for the suggestion. Unless I can find some other way to do it

with an existing sequencer, I'm afraid it looks like this is going to be

the route to follow. If I don't find any other way I will start playing

with Python-MIDI or Perl-MIDI stuff and see if this is something that I

could do in my (very little) spare time.
Cheers,
