I've mentioned the power of MSP here before. For ease of programming, it
can't be beat. I wrote a 4 channel looper in a very short time. For anyone
interested, it can be grabbed off of my home page listed below.

If anyone has the machine to run MSP, you should also check out
SuperCollider at http://www.audiosynth.com/. While it's much harder to work
with than MSP, I don't think that there is anything that this one can't do.

Both programs are well worth the time and effort to learn and use.
