This is pretty much the target for our MetroTracks product. While not  
being as full-featured on the MIDI sequencing end as Presto (or supporting  
sample playback), it will integrate digital audio recording, mixing and  
playback with MIDI recording and playback, and synchronizes with MTC and  
DTL. It will be compatible with the Singular Solutions A/D64x, Digital  
Ears, Digital Microphone, and Ariel's ProPort. It also contains specific  
support for the Opcode Studio 3, which will allow SMPTE synchronization  
and striping.

We will be announcing and demonstrating the product at the AES show this  
October to let people see just what you can do with a NeXT.

For more info, either e-mail at info@metrosoft.com or grab our press  
release and product info off the Purdue archives.
