Wow! I'm thinking about something like Ableton Live (but I'm mostly
interested in MIDI),
and I hate writing GUIs.
I tried to do some GUI stuff first as the most dull and complex(for
me) part. But it's a pain.
Since there are peolpe wanting to make GUI stuff (surprise!), I'm
throwing this away and start working on the engine.

Btw, Live leaves much to be desired. Different tempos for different
tracks, for example.

Dmitry.
