Perhaps it would be more accurate to desicribe it as a MIDI
sequencer (record, edit and playback events) controlling a sampler
(record and playback audio, real time controlled effects), and then
add a sensible graphical editor that's aware of the details of the
sampler.
(It could actually be implemented that way, but there are two major
problems with that: 1) A sampler is too inflexible to take care of
everything that a HDR does, so you end up with more subsystems and
less flexibility than with a software based design, and 2) MIDI
timing isn't good enough to replace a real HDR system.)
