What I did get working so far, which has been pretty fun, is using the tracker live to trigger the angriff drums. But maybe a better use, and truer to tracker style, would be just to use a VST sampler in Pd... of course, then I might as well just use buzz.
If you do want to check out MIDI trackers, at least in windows, take a look at ztracker. My best find so far. It takes MIDi time clock info, so there might be a way to directly use that to control the tracker's play position from Pd, sync it, etc. dunno, still exploring this...
On Linux, I can recommend Shaketracker (http://reduz.com.ar/shaketracker) and ttrk, the last one being a bit limited. But playing PD through Shaketracker is great fun: Shaketracker translates your standard Mod-Effects to midi data.
One could also record all this to a qlist and run it again without the tracker...
Shaketracker used like this is pretty neat, but i found it annoying having two seperate programs running. I think what i'll probably do at some stage is code a 'track' external a bit like Yves' Pianoroll turned on it's side, except with numbers instead of a vertical scale for the notation. So it would effectively be like a single track lifted from a tracker program with the same keystrokes etc. Time and laziness permitting of course.
