Atte,

Thanks for your generous  offer. It looks  it's  cool stuff indeed.  But 
I think I'd rather search for an supercollider solution atm.

Or just using non-sequencer with Ardour and loop Ardour via OSC messages 
or something, cause it seems to be impossible to loop Ardour with Jack 
Transport. But then I have to find out how that works with OSC. I don't 
know anything about it yet.
