I'm a devoted Metasynth user. And the new version is simply amazing. The Montage Room within MS lets you create 16 track pieces. It is a 'think different' environment, but you can do complete work there and render to audio to use in other programs if desired. One of the most significant new features is the real time previewing, so while the drawing in the Image the sound it creates loops, and you can hear the changes in realtime. Or you can render to disk in realtime your 'performances' of drawing and/or changing effect parameters. One of the coolest things I discovered, and this relates closest to your inquiry, Per, is that you can choose Soundflower as you ouput audio device in MS and have that piped realtime into Live. You can then play along with a Live drum loop, drawing away in MS, and record or at least audition MS output in context of other material. Supposedly Eric Wenger is at work porting xX, their OS9 midi sequencing program, to OSX. I imagine this will have that great interoperability like Numerology does.
