    Again- what's Cliff doing now?

    Yeah there is realtime pitch to midi or... its not great but the only difference between it and the software used in combination with midi pickups is that the pickups are generally hexaphonic. Which allows you to pick apart the nonsense a bit easier.

    A set list is different from the implementation listed above and a setlist is no different to just using something to switch between scenes/ presets arbitrarily or just ordering them sequentially.

    Thats not how it works in practice though. You are saying that you can create arbitrarily nested compositions. Meaning now you need to extend the graph in an additional dimension.
