I though it had more to do with fitting notes to a tempo.  Like when
something is recorded but could use a bit of help to be tight to the
tempo.  Anyways, I'm pretty sure Seq24 does that (not used it
personally).

On the other hand, I once had a Roland drum machine that 'spiced up' a
pattern by introducing variations in tone, tempo and attack.  Hydrogen
does that.

BTW, I read your article in Linux Magazine (yes, that magazine with the
full-page mostly Windows 'shareware' advertisement ;-) and perhaps an
interesting way to try 64Studio on a Windows machine is by means of the
VmPlayer 64Studio virtual machine appliance.  Some downloading to do,
though. I'd try it, but I don't have enough Windows interest, and the
'Windows people' I know are not into playing/making music.

Cheers,

Al
