That's true, it would require something built on top of it to be musically
useful. I'm just concerned that you/we will run out of power with XAP - it
has some inherent limitations, namely a) it is block-based and b) it is
causal. But I understand that you/we can get far enough by including the
above items that it could be worth trying. I've voiced my opinion now so
I'll concentrate my efforts on helping in what little way I can.
