Ok. I see. Thank you for the explanations.

I knew about khagan. I'll give it a try.

I think it would be interesting to have some sort of OSC sequencer. I 
would love to compose with the same control over each note (or any other 
kind of event) you can have with csound scores but that can be edited 
visually.

I love to use pure data to build instruments and effect, but at some 
point I want to expose all the parameters of my patch to OSC and use 
such kind of tool (some kind of OSC sequencer) to concentrate on 
composition/performance, mostly drawing and editing envelopes and maybe 
also triggering them in a generative fashion.
