both of these are easy enough to do in pd/jmax (even for a
non-programmer like me). The problem is that the documentation (and for
jMax the install procedure) end up scaring off a lot of newbies. I guess
the real issue there though is that these programs do a lot more than
just those applications and are possibly overkill for someone who just
wants a sampler or looper.
(Of course the other issue with the sampler is that usually software
samplers have built-in editing facilities, so you'd have to use Snd or
something to tweak you samples before using jMaz or Pd to trigger them.)
