I once did stuff like that using a midi tracker. Pd was used as sound engine, and the midi tracker for sequencing. There are several midi trackers around: I have used ttrk and Shaketracker on Linux.
I tried this too, but I found the timing to be a bit too loose (shaketracker). Seq24 is a great app for this kind of thing, but uses up a lot of CPU when running in conjunction with Pd.
BTW: Yesterday I was using Nitrotracker on Nintendo DS with my shiny new SC Lite, but file access so far is too slow. I want PDa for NDS, puleeeze!
Your wish is almost granted. I've ported PDa to the GP2X (and sent the patch to GÃnter) so a DSLinux port could happen quite soon - i.e. They both have the same CPU and I am working on it. It will be soooo cool to have all yr Pd patches in your pocket to whip out at parties for a bit of real-time joystick-controlled generative dance music. ;)
Nitrotracker is pretty cool but it sucks that all the notes have to be at the same volume.
Best,
Chris.
