Hi Renato,

Thanks for the interest. Yes, it does support jack_session, but has
not received extensive testing by users yet (or there's no problems to
report!).

Petri-Foo does not support layers within a patch, but does support
multiple patches in a bank. Each patch is independent from any other
patch and there's no sharing or any other form of communication
between patches. You can set a number of patches to receive MIDI data
on the same channel as a hackish way around layering.

Samples sharing the same patch has entered my mind as something for
the future of Petri-Foo but I'm unsure about how it could/would/should
work yet.

Cheers,
James.
