Working from a command line/ script is not my most favorite workflow 
when composing or music editing. I tried the gui Linuxband, but found 
two major drawbacks for me:

1) no mixer to turn off an particular instrument
2) no funk style

And probably it would be more easy to have a more flexible way to route 
midi to  a certain sample (also without a 'hard coded' instrument number).

I was searching for an alternative to impro-visor, cause that Java app 
is slow, but afaik it's the best option still.
