Freewheeling looks pretty good, except it's more designed to take the
place of a more standard pedal-controlled loop machine. I don't really
want to just record myself live, but I want to play pre-recorded
samples and midi sequences, much like you would if you had a ton of dj
decks lying around, and got them all to fit in a touchscreen.

Plus, I want the engine so I can write my own app.
