You can do it with the present version with MIDIdump, but it takes 
about 20 times the time of the sound (yes, MIDI is slow...).
We certainly want a faster port in the future, maybe even to connect 
a HD directly...

I personally dont like to go on stage with prerecorded material. 
While in the beginning, I was concerned to stamp my philosophy as 
much as possible onto products I developp, now I am happy if the 
things I find important are still there, and try to include as many 
features others may want.
