An OSC sequencer would have to be written such that it would have no
preconceptions of what the data was actually representing, you could set
up all sorts of filtering, conditional events, remapping of messages etc.
I think it could be really powerful if done correctly. The worst thing
would be a sequencer that forced OSC to look like midi - with note
ons/offs etc.
