Adriano,
don't get me started! ;=} Short on time now, but I have a couple ideas,
and I've tried for quite a while to drag some developers into this
field. Basically, I think the whole Newton thing could get a nice boost
if musicians could get more out of the Newton -- which naturally isn't
easy with MP 2k, as there are no line-in and -out preinstalled. There
are people who will add these for you, though, and I understand there
may be other options just around the corner... ;=}
Let's discuss this bc when our other project is completed, okay?

Yes, this is great fun! Too bad it ain't polyphonic... also you can't
save separate drum patterns... neither can you load drum banks... still
a fun gimmick that gives one a lot of ideas in the "Ah, if only..."
department... I'd tried to get hold of the source, so the coders could
take a stab at it, but the guys who'd written it apparently don't have
the sources anymore...
Another funny audio toy is ScratchPad 2.0 by Matt Spolin, see my post
http://www.newtontalk.net/archive/newtontalk.2003-10/0851.html .
Couldn't get hold of Matt when I tried to find the sources. -- The
AMUG-link I'd posted back then is dead, could find it on a mirror,
either, so I've put it up at
http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Software/_Audio/
ScratchPad%202.0%20(NOS%201.x,%202.x) . Enjoy!
DJV.
