Funny thing: My next article for LJ is going to be about arpeggiators
and performance loopers. Here's the list for review so far:

SooperLooper - http://essej.net/sooperlooper/
Kluppe - http://kluppe.klingt.org/
FreeWheeling - http://freewheeling.sourceforge.net/
LoopDub - http://loopdub.sourceforge.net/

QMidiArp - http://alsamodular.sourceforge.net/
  QMidiArp commands -
http://www.linuxformat.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Audio_production_-_Sound_generation#QMidiArp_commands
Hypercyclic - http://www.mucoder.net/hypercyclic/
Arpage - http://sourceforge.net/projects/arpage/

I plan to add your app to the list, if you don't mind.

Anyone know of other similar apps for Linux ?

Umm, actually I think there's nothing that can't be done with Pd. ;)

Frank Barknecht can say for sure if it's possible.

A standalone app with GUI would be a Good Thing, IMO.

I haven't tested your script yet, James, but it is in the queue. :)
