by clone i was only referring to the pattern/matrix loop sequencer of the
thing, sorry, not the sampler or synth and what else that goes in the
monolith. i think, that was and probably still is imho the distinguishing
feature from the pack, giving function and merit to its own name, live.

qtractor is and will be just a sequencer. any attempt to make it an
all-in-one-wonder will get kicked out at first sight :)
